Stats - Too loooose?

kapw7 · #1 02-14-2005, 08:23 PM

My first post in this forum. Please comment on my stats. I know the sample is small. I am still in the process of improving my game. I really don't understand the obsession with low VPIPS and high aggression in this forum. I think my main leak would be not folding enough post-flop but not so much my pre-flop looseness. Maybe I will be a fish forever.

Can't comment on the 1/2 6max, but your other two levels are way too loose in terms of VP$IP. I like your PFR percentages though.

Your VPIP is way too high. Stop playing Axo, JTo utg, etc.

If you keep playing like this, then yes.

Thanks for the advice. You are right about JTo and I have recently improved that. I dont play Axo a lot (only in a good position and with looser players) and I actually have positive stats with these hands. I seem to lose slightly with some of the Axs hands though.

I am not a fish (?). I have seen fishes with VPIPS less than 20. I make money from them (the weak tighties) because they are so predictable and they are easy to knock out off the table and play heads-up with the "happy" players.

I am definetely working on reducing my VPIP but anything below 20 seems to me ridiculous in micros unless you multitable or you are too weak post flop. In both occasions you dont do any favours to yourself in playing better poker. IMHO.

I play 40 different hands:
22-AA = 13 Hands
Axs = 12 Hands
Suited Connectors = 12 Hands
AKo, AQo, KQ = 3
Total: 40

Some like to play ultra tight, some include more hands. How you handle the game on & after the flop is the deciding factor.

You are very very very wrong.

I think you've been running very well so far and you've attributed this good run to overwhelming skill and superior postflop play.

This could be quite dangerous if you suggest to move up, because you will likely get creamed.

I suggest you check the ego at the door and start posting hands in this forum and reading other people's hands.
