650 hands is WAY too few to draw any conclusions. That's only about 4 or 5 tournaments.

kk ... i will try and update this twice weekly [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

flops seen 25%

your playing to many hands

IF this is the Pokerstars Hubble then you need to work on your bubble play. Either you are nearing the bubble with insufficient chips or you aren't pushing in good spots. You are seeing way too many flops for such a low win rate but that is how freerolls play I guess.

i don't think 25% of flops is terrible. in my daily pursuit of LAG mastery i see about that many. i think the problem is the 58% of showdowns. how many hands are you winning without a showdown?

if your going to see the flop 25% of the time you have to be able to get away from your 2nd best hands, and get aggressive almost all the time. when i go far in a tourney(usually micro's not freerolls) i like to have about 80-85% win at showdown, and significantly more pots won without a showdown than with a showdown.

I do feel like I am playing too many hands... 95% percent of the hands I play however are PPs or good black jack hands. Problem I am having mostly is getting called by hands like 93os, J2os, etc.. and then not being able to put an oppenent on a hand. Get in hands like this ... I am on button before me there are 3 to 4 limpers ... I raise 6xbb get 3 calls my hole cards AJs flop A92 rainbow ... check, check, I bet 80% pot, fold call... turn 3 ... check I bet pot trying to take it down right there and get called again ... river 8 ... oppenent bets all in ... thinking they are going for a steal I call and oppenent has 93os.
Also alot of my flops seen are from the bb in an unraised pot ... I tend to get in a little trouble because now I am playing hands I am not used to.

any ideas?? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
