Hello everyone, this post is inspired by the other offsuit discussion.

I've been in a horrid streak lately, which has inspired me to delve into my stats again. In particular, I've noticed that JTo is my single biggest losing hand (over 90,000 hands of 5/10-6 and 10/20-6), with 470 instances.

My VP$IP with JTo is 28%, PFR 19%. I am losing at 0.08 BB/hand (3rd worst per hand), but my monetary loss with this hand is my highest because I've played it so often.

I have been open-raising JTo from pretty much any position. At first I would open UTG, but lately I've passed this hand UTG and open-raised it in MP or later. I have never cold-called with JTo. I will call behind limpers with this hand.

What in the world is going on here? Incidently, J9o is a break-even had for me, but mostly I suppose because I don't play it: VP$IP of 5.88 (probably steals).

My 2nd-5th largest losers are:

A8o
A3o (unsuccessful steals, apparently)
Q9s
K2s (VP$IP of 6.25%, 160 times = very small sample)

I know that small sample size can be argued here. But after 90,000 hands, wouldn't one expect JTo to be at least somewhat profitable? What, if anything, may this indicate about larger defects of my game?

What is your criteria for playing this hand?

Best,

Jim
