I play 3-4 tables 5-max. I don't if I make any sense. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

To whoever asked about coaching, maybe someday...I'm still experimenting with my game a lot as it is now.

Also, I wanted to add, as I am guilty of doing this on more than one prolonged stretch of hands, relying too much on stat reads can be quite detrimental. Sometimes I get so caught up in playing the stats, that that is all I pay attention to. I stop making meaningful notes, stop seeing patterns right in front of my face, basically just shut down and play the numbers. Granted that may be because I'm pumping out 500+ hands an hour when I play, but I know it has cost me a significant amount of money. So in a way, relying on stats negatively impacts my winrate because it detracts from my skill advancement and mental awareness... yes... a few more months of grinding 60k hands a month and then I'll roll back and really concentrate on my game. I'd really like to be a 2.5+ winner [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

i didnt use a hud for 100k 5/10 hands and ran at 2. i use a hud at 10/20 and suck so whatever.

I've never used them ever. I've just begun flirting with the idea, but I really feel I'd be less observant if I use stats.

Oh.. I two table 3/6 and 5/10 at party. I played 5/10 mostly, then moved to the west coast using mostly my bankroll. I built it back up, jumped to 5/10 too early and my game was rusty, so I dropped to 3/6. Beat it for 5 BB/100 over 13K (*cough* sample size, I know) and came back to 5/10 when my game was sharp. I'm liking my results thus far.

If I ever decide to go to 3 or 4 tables, I think it'd be hard not to take advantage of datamining/HUDs.

Using a HUD(and PT Notes generator before that) has made me a worse player.

I actually just started using PT about 20K hands ago.. what's this auto notes jargon? I just use it to keep track of what I'm doing.

why am I seeing so much of this?

ChicagoTroy · #10 10-20-2005, 05:23 PM

It happenned to me, too. I think it has to do with seeing "bad" stats and believing they're full of crap all the time, when in fact one doesn't have to get that far out of line to have laggy stats.

In my case I started calling down more or raising weakish hands.
