DAY 1 UPDATE.

pretty good session. 50/100 and 100/200. as you can tell i was card dead in the 50/100 [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].

actually it was mostly HU and 3 handed, but grew to 4 and 5 handed later in the night. i still wasn't running "good" (lots of semibluffs came in and i kept making second best hands) but i ran good enough and managed to find a huge HU fish on 50/100 UB, which was awesome.




Edit: Please can a mod change my title to something cool/not retarded? I played my HULA match already [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Done.

Wow, and here I was feeling good about being able to play 5/10 consistently and 10/20 sporadically.

it would be cool if you could look at w$sd in pots over a certain size...i mean, i think it's the big pots that really determine how you're running

over ~25k hands, with a vpip of ~30 and wtsd of ~40, you've seen, what, around 3k showdowns? (ok, missing the BB showdowns, but whatever)

now say that you could magically replace the 30 smallest pots you won at showdown with the 30 largest pots you lost at showdown. if the average difference in those pot sizes is, say, 12BB, then we're looking at a 360BB swing...which is ~1.5BB/100 in winrate over 25k hands.

poker is [censored] sick man

Baron and Schneids have 7-10% higher VPIP than me. Their WTSD and W$WSF are both significantly higher. My W$SD is the same though.

Do you guys play a lot more HU and 3-4 handed? I have a hard time seeing where I'm going to add enough weaker hands to get close to that level of VPIP AND increase my WTSD%. I play almost exclusively 6-handed or 5-handed.

My stats say average 4 people at the table. There's HU in those numbers though, and also 5-6 handed games. My preflop is variable though. Some days I can be an 18 vpip in a 6 handed game, other days I can be 35. Likewise, in 3 handed games I might be 35 all the way up to 65vpip. Depends on the players and their tendencies. Against people who'll test me all day long but don't play horribly, I shade tighter. Against loose passives who are easy to know where I'm at, I play looser. Against solid TAGs, I again play tighter but not as tight as the solid LAGs.

Ok, I feel a bit better then [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. My average players at the table is 5.3, so my 25VPIP doesn't feel creaky tight as I thought it might be.

If you really want to have a long lasting poker career you're going to have to realize that 26k hands is nothing.

DAY 2 UPDATE.

I sat at the fishiest tables ever at 75/150 today and enjoyed the hell out of it. Hitting flops against fish is the best feeling. As you can see im running good!!!! Maybe all i needed to do was bitch a little more about my downswing.


my 30/60 showdown numbers completely BAFFLE me. i ran the worst there yet my showdown #s show otherwise. i will never understand poker [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

[baronzeus]

day 3 was not fun. i started out up 7K in 100 hands---then proceeded to lose most of it HU. i fought my way back to even after a long day.

as usual, i am crushing party 1/2. here are my day 3 stats





here are my total stats since i started this thread
