Am I missing really obviuos leaks? Stats Post

spacemonkey57 · #1 05-20-2005, 12:23 PM

My winrate at 1/2 has sucked since the beginning of February. I feel like I should be winning more than 1/100. Am I missing anything obvious here? I know I should be raising more preflop and I think my went to showdown isn't high enough, but is there anything else? I'm sorry for the stats post, but I'm pulling my hair out at this point. Thank you.

ok. personally, i think you are losing a lot of value by being so tight. and yes, raise more pf.
and steal more blinds.
and you don't go to showdown enough
and you're likely folding a lot of winning hands.

and also post your positional stats...

Thanks. I've been thinking that I'm laying down too many hands but I can't seem to stop doing it. Here are my positional stats.

Also, here's the type of hand I'm having problems with. I probably shouldn't be laying this one down on the turn, but I couldn't figure what they'd be calling with other than a king or a 9.

this is counterproductive thinking! you must know by now that they do call down often with complete garbage, right?

You are way too tight. I think the VPIP you have at 1/2 6-max should be your VPIP at your full ring games.

Bet the turn. If you get raised, then you might consider the merits of folding (depending on how passive/aggressive the raiser is). But so far you've been given no evidence that you're behind. Your opponents could also have any pocket pair, a gutshot draw, or any Ace.

Hey man, those numbers look a lot like mine did during my crappy too tight phase. You have some loosening up to do.

edit: 13.88% at .5/1 is way way way too tight.

You are a fit or fold rock. This will not produce a high winrate.

Your VP$IP could easily be 8% higher.

Your went to showdown could be up to 10% higher. (this is the stat that is most telling. You are folding a ton of eventual winners.)

You don't raise enough pf. It looks like you might not be taking position into consideration a la isolation raises/ 3-bets and blind stealing.

W$aSD is too high. This means you don't keep anybody honest by checking out what they have. You might be folding winners in big pots, the cardinal sin of limit HE.

Lastly your aggression is a mirage. All the folding your doing is making you look aggressive when you really should be taking pot odds and implied odds into consideration and peeling (calling) more than you do on the flop and turn. When you start seeing more showdowns and chasing more draws this number will go down and your winrate will go up.

Thanks all, I'm going to drop back to .50-1 for 10K hands and see if I can start playing looser and more agressively. I may drop down to three tables. I think that trying to bonus whore too much has hurt my game. I aslo ran hot when I first started 1-2 and some 2-4 and was in denial about needing to improve. I really appreciate everyone taking the time to look at my stats.
