Default Re: Am I an OK player?...finally bought Poker Tracker

As primarily a limit player, I spend a lot of time pouring over my PT stats to look for leaks (and responding to posts like this one on the limit forums). I can second what you've already been told without any hesitation--the stats you have thus far are completely meaningless. Even in a cash game setting (far different from a tournament), it takes hundreds of hands before you can even get a general idea of what your true VPIP is; it takes tens of thousands to firm up most of the other numbers, and literally hundreds of thousands to have any kind of a real idea about your results (win rate in limit, ROI for tournament play).

PokerTracker is an incredibly beneficial, some would say essential, tool, but it is not the be all end all of self-analsys. All PT will do is (eventually) save you some time in identifying problem areas of your game; it still takes pouring over the individual hands and often asking questions about them on here before you can adequately correct these leaks.
