Default Re: Shameful stats post

i recommend that you videotape yourself playing and then watch the video over again. start videotaping after a bad beat, or you dont feeel like you're playing well, or just weird hands keep coming up. then from there you can either post the video or watch it over, see what you didt hat you would do differently and also isolate a few hands that you were completely lost with and post them here. imo there is a big discrepancy between the hands people decide to post from their session and hands they should post.


i think the worst advice you can hear is that you should go from a 21/14 to a 27/20. thats ridiculous imo. there are types of hands/ groups of hands and situations that you just need to learn how to play, and then adding those hands preflop will be the next step. there are some very good 6max players whose stats are ~23/19 so take it one step at a time.

one last thing on preflop play: your postflop play should dictate how you play preflop, not the other way around.

do you know how to iso raise ?
do you know how to play suited 1 gapper type hands after 1 or 2 limpers on the button?
are you comfortable defending your bb against a tag with a hand like 87s?
are you okay with stealing with K5o?
are you good at getting to showdown against unpredictable opponents?

good luck
