10,500 hand mark at .5/1. - PokerTracker stats - comments appreciated

[JudgeRW]

Thanks everyone for the replies. This is basically what I would like to do. I really do not feel that I am loose PF at all. I play premium hands. I keep a good eye on my position, and obviously loosen up as I approach the button, but not really all that much.

I probably do NOT raise enough. After I took the 150BB downsing, and came back (in fine fashion I might add) to hit 500BB for .5/1., and then tried 1/2 and lost to around $180 in a week, I was very weak. That one took me pretty hard, and honestly, I was unprepared mentally for it. So I really got conservative (after taking a few weeks off [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] ).

I DO need to look at raising more PF (but this will not change my VP$IP # at all I wouldn't think, I would need to tighten up for this to occur, correct? And this # is for all possible actions, not only PF right?)

I also don't feel I'm getting maximum value out of my good draws. I do a lot of calling with a draw (ie Do I have the 2:1 required to draw to the flush? Do I have the now 4:1 to continue to draw to it? Do I have the 5:1 to continue to draw to my OESD? etc.) I need to recognize what the "ram & jam" draws are (some help here?) and then play them accordingly.

Thanks again for all the insight fellas.

This assumption seems to be creeping into some threads and I want to clarify it. When looking at pot odds on the flop, you look at the odds for your next card, not for your next two cards--not by how likely you are to hit by the river.

So a flush draw is 4-1 on the flop not 2-1. And a gutshot is around 11-1 not 5.5-1 etc etc etc. This is important because if you make this mistake you will be chasing far to frequently and it will cost you money.

To add to what Zetack said..

Do I have the 2:1 required to draw to the flush?

The 2:1 on the flop is used to determine if you have the odds to BET/RAISE the pot for value on the flop with your flush draw, not to decide whether to CALL/FOLD (draw) to the later streets.

Good Notes Nottom -

The way I interpret these numbers as a whole is that our Hero is only wanting to show down the mortal nuts - and is able to have a high aggression factor, low WSD%, and what looks a tad high W$SD(imo 55% is where you want it)numbers.

Hero may be missing showing down potential winners.

I also note that I think there is a definate relationship between Voluntariy put in flop - and won when saw the flop. - as others said - looks like you are seeing to many flops, and then bailing on them on the flop - so either you aren't exploiting flops that are potentially winners, or you need to hunker down on your starting hand requirements.

However your BB/100 hands is astounding IMO - so your definately getting your moneys worth on the hands your choosing to take to showdown.

Search for Pokertracker stats, by MS Sunshine - IMO he is the resident expert.
