PT - Plugging Leaks ?

[Jonny1723]

Hello,

I have 7,456 hands in my Poker Tracker Database, and am now looking to try and use the software to improve my game.
Obviously I'm not exactly sure where to start so I am browsing this forum in the first instance.

My stats are :

VP$IP - 26.18
VP$IP (SB) - 47.71
Folded SB To Steal - 90.91
Folded BB To Steal - 35.71
Att. To Steal - 9.32
Won $ WSF % - 22.80
BB/100 - 11.83
Went to SD - 34.70
Won $ At SD - 50.61
PF Raise - 6.48

Now although I know what the above mean, I don't know how good / bad they are etc ?
Obviously any advice would be appreciated.

In addition to the above, I have been looking at some of the hands that lose me money, and notice that AKs is up there.

My stats for this are :

Times - 22
Win % - 27.27
Net - (2.92)
BB/Hand - (0.51)
VP$IP - 100
W$SWF - 27.27
PFR - 68.18
RFI% - 4.55
LwPC - 22.73
WtSD - 45.45
W$SD - 40

Again, I'd love to know what I should look for in the above that lets me know why it is costing me money. I would expect a hand like this to be in profit. (especially as AKo has a BB/Hand of 2.22)

Or is it that the sample history is so small, that I can't get a true picture ?

As mentioned, I'd appreciate any advice on these stats, but more specifically what you look for in PT to improve your game.

Thanks very much.

J.

You don't mention what limit or if it's full or 6 max games, on the assumption it's full ring .5/1 or 1/2 I would say your vp$ip is too high - 17-19% would be more usual if playing tight.

Also your w$wsf% is low although this leads on from your being too loose - 30% would be more common.

You could raise a bit more preflop but 6.48 is pretty good. 11.83BB/100 means you're running incredibly well, this will fall.

As for AKs, it's also a small loser for me after 15,500 hands of .5/1 having got it about 50 times I think (don't have the stats to hand). Loosing money with it over 22 times you've been dealt it means nothing, you could win big pots with it the next two or three times you get it and wipe out that deficit - if it's still losing after 100 times dealt, start examining your play of it [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Apologies, the limits are :

.05/.10 - 782 hands
.10/.20 - 4,164 hands
.20/.40 - 206 hands
.25/.50 - 2,304 hands

Thanks.

11 bb per 100 hands, I'm thinking nolimit. Correct?

BB/100 is good, and that's the only real stat that matters, so keep a close eye on that.

Like someone said, you're playing too many hands. Try to cut down on some of the marginal ones. Plus, toss your bad hands earlier to get your win percentage at showdown up.

With the AK, the problem is, like most people, you're overplaying this. You're taking it to showdown almost half the time. If you don't hit this hand you need to let it go.

Hi Guys,

hanks for your responses.

Shejk - No it's limit I play. I don't think I'm anywhere near good enough to play No Limit.

KC - I think you must be correct - although from my playing style I don't believe I do overplay them (not knowingly anyway), as I tend to be happy to fold them, if the flop misses, unless I have either :

Both Overcards (in which case I'll call for 1 SB)
OE Straight or Flush Draw (in which case I'll probably raise)
Inside Straight Draw (I'll generally call here)
Backdoor Straight or Flush Draw (I'll probably call one SB, but if it's raised I'll get out)

Is the above the sort of play I should be using, or is this bad play ?

I also believe the small sample size must have something to do with it, as I have had AKo 68 times, and am showing a 2.22 BB/Hand pfofit on it.

Again, any advice would be appreciated.
