i think i suck...

[Francis]

I"m pretty much a noob, only started playing in October.

The first 15K hands I was at -.4BB at .5/1. The next 5K I was even, and my last 10K hands are about 3.5BB/100...

I don't think I'm playing terribly differently now at 30k hands than at 10K hands. Your stats look OK to me. I think you're probably running a bit bad...

Although there's a fine line between being positive and negitive. A few big hands lost instead of won over 2k or 3k hands can be the difference between being -.5BB or +2BB over 5 or 10K hands.

Post some HH's if you want detailed feedback on specific hands.

I find reading this forum and thinking about the comments has really helped my game.

Regards,
Francis

You're not even a losing player dude!! Your stats all look acceptable. Aim for a bit higher PFR. Other than that, just respond to lots of hands. Things will turn around.

You are just running badly, with those stats you should not be winning so little at .5/1. While your PFR could be a bit higher, it is still acceptable, your VPIP is a bit low for .5/1... but it's still fine... very weird.

This is a long shot, but maybe you should take a quick look at your table selection? The only other things I could see being wrong are maybe not opening up your limping hands in late position, or maybe not open raising enough...

I should trade you some of my BB/100 after 21K hands it is at 7.02 BB/100.

(Yes, I should be moving up, Long boring story why I can't quite move up limits yet, involves arenas, doggy trailers, crappy Suburus and why I hate Jersey.)

I'm not sure what nick you used on pokerstars, but if it's what I think it was, I only have about 30 hands on you; no where near enough to say anything truly valid, but it might give you someplace to start. I don't want to mention the nick, but if you want to PM me to confirm, that's fine.

I'm not even close to being an expert, so take all of this with a big grain of salt. Regardless, as far as I can tell, it looks like you sometimes pick the wrong spots to try bluffing; you pick spots to try pushing draws where you'd (I think) be better off just calling if you're going to pursue the draw; you seem to get married to overcards and draws that miss and call down with nothing. May have been a few things I missed, but I only looked through a handful of hands.

Again, please keep in mind that I'm not that good myself, but maybe this will give you a few things to look into.
