Tight play wins the money? Pokertracker says not!
Since pokertracker started 'autorating players' I wondered which of the profile types was winning the most $. My database has about 8000 hands in it, not a lot but this isn't about my own stats. Its about everyone elses.
Only rating players with 30+ hands played in my database, I have a wide spectrum of player types. Using the filter option I can see how each group does on the summary page. The 4 groups who lose the money: sLP-P (-8 BB per 100 hands) sLA-P (-6 BB per 100 hands) LA-P and LP-P (-5 BB per 100 hands) Maniac (-1 BB per 100 hands) Then there is a group who roughly break even TP-P. LP-A, TA-P, TA-N Now the surprising part TA-A, the group I've been trying to emulate win 3BB/100 TP-A do about the same. sLP-A win twice as much, near to 7BB/100 and sLA-A win twice as much as that, 14BB/100!! BUT streaks ahead are LA-A who win 22BB/100 hands !?!!? Of all the LA-A players in my databse, 80% are winners. These are aggressive players with a VP$IP averaging 45%?!?! Pokertracker seems to be telling me: Be aggressive, be very aggressive, and play one hand in every two! Can this be true? Surely not I must be missing something obvious here. What is it?? (Ratings based on 8,000 hands involving 7-10 players at a mixture of limits, $0.5/$1 $1/$2 and $2/$4) |

Go ahead and play 25% of your hands. Let us know how that works out for you.

Everyone on this forum who thinks they can play as well as Astroglide, please take one step forward. Not so fast, 99% of you. |

Um well thanks for the suggestion but it goes against all my instincts My VP$IP is 12% and I thought I was doing fine till I looked at those stats. How do LA-A players look in your database bisonbison? |

It doesn't matter because you win, and you don't care by how much?

There's no proper response to posts of "my sample size is miniscule, but let's pretend it's not" other than "uh, no."
Because you chose to post this here, instead of Poker Theory or Probability (where it belongs), Books/Software, General or the PT forums, you got the brush off. Failure to recognize the brush off as the brush off is only going to prolong the public exposure for your stupid stupid post. Sometimes you need to think for yourself. If you don't understand why loose-aggressive play is a high variance money sink (particularly given the loose nature of these games), I don't know what to tell you. |
