Default Hi.... I suckass at poker.





I'm seriously depressed about my game right now. I'm down -200BB in my last 3000 hands. Thank the poker gods for rakeback.

All comments are welcome on my PT stats or if you've played with me and seen me donk it up. Here's my screen names:

I know the 200BB downswing is just variance, but 1.1 BB/100 over 48k hands is a lot worse WR than most people here, right?

Don't get caught up in the "my win rate is bigger than your win rate" crap. What's important are your other numbers, which indicate that:

-You're playing too tightly preflop
-You're folding to too many blind steals
-You're not attempting enough blind steals
-You're folding too often postflop
-You're not aggressive enough on the flop

Unfortunately, I only have 19 (datamined) hands on you, so I can't give you specific examples. But all of those things are holes which are affecting your overall win rate. The blind steals in particular can kill you on 3/6.

1 BB/100 is pretty good for 3/6. I can crush .5/1, but would be pretty happy with that WR with how much tougher 3/6 has become with multi tablers.

And exactly how much tougher has it become? Not much.

Yo man, you know you are a winner at this game, even though you may doubt yourself. When you sit at my table I am like "ugh... dammit". Don't get too down about it, I went on a -300bb streak in january.... at 5/10.

Ok, obviously the games aren't a LOT tougher than they used to be, but there has been some change which will hopefully reverse itself somewhat come WSOP time.
