Re: First Checkup (15K), Help me figure out why I suck....
Read the post flop part of Small Stakes Holdem. It seems like you havent read it if you are so passive post flop.

When I first read this, I thought you were speaking to me, and I was like..."how'd he know?"

Yes sorry I was thinking of my 6 max stats as I mentioned in another post. Sorry again for the confusion.

Wow, looks a lot like my stats before I became more aggressive post flop, especially the 1.80ish post flop. As already stated, you need to be more aggresive. It's really uncomfortable at first, but people just start giving you their $$, and you regain your confidence, you'll smile big and slap yourself for not doing it sooner.

You definitely are not aggressive enough on the flop. A lot more of those checks should be bets or folds (although you already fold a lot). I think you may be playing a little weak tight and not protecting your hands as much as you should. [/ QUOTE ] Im thinking he might not be pumping draws as much as he should either. One other question for the original poster, are you multitabling? If so you might want to cut down to 1 table and work on your hand reading skills and poker instincts. |

Re: First Checkup (15K), Help me figure out why I suck....
Yes, I am multitabling. I had success with it on the lower levels, tried to make sure I don't get bored and play more speculative hands to get action. But you may be right, I need to do it to get my skills better. I might have been able to get away with it at lower levels, but until I improve, won't at the higher levels (multitabling that is)

Re: First Checkup (15K), Help me figure out why I suck....
I have read SSHE 3 times. I guess I really need to read it over and over until I get the agressive part.
I am noticing the most concern was on the flop. As far as agression goes, do I basically decide there if I am going to bet or fold or raise, not much calling? Do you bet out with any part of the flop? Maybe I am deciding on the flop to play hands that cause me to call down, rather than be agressive. I am just going to try and be more agressive without spewing chips. Future hand posts and annoying questions to come. Thanks for the input. |

This response suggests to me that you're placing too much emphasis in stats analysis. Your stats are close enough to normal to suggest that stats won't tell you anything. You didn't find the bullet in your flop play.
Respond to many threads with your advice. We'll pull the impurities out of you. |

If you are way off someone will correct you and you will learn much more than if you'd just read the post and responses. GrunchCan issued a challenge about this a few months ago basically saying if you respond to a few posts every day you will notice within a week or two that your play has improved dramatically. If you are really worried about giving people the wrong advice put "Grunching" at the top of your post. |
