Moving up to 1/2!!!

[Bizot]

Ok so i have been playing .5/1 for 8,500 hands. My stats are:
VPIP 20%
PFR 8%
WTSD 34%
W$SD 50%
AF 2.8%
BB/100 3.38

So i am going to try integrating one 1/2 table with 2 .5/1 tables to test the waters a bit.

My question here is i hear the 1/2 tables are the worst on party just curious which #'s i should expect to drop and what the tables are like.

Any comments welcome [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

VPIP should drop a couple points. WTSD seems a bit high and W$SD seems a bit low. Those go hand and hand I guess. Expect your BB/100 to drop. 1/2 is much more tight as well as aggressive than .50/1. Still crushable though.

While the play on 1/2 is atrocious it is by no means the worst. In fact, located between the raving lunatics of 50/1 and 2/4 you might even consider it an oasis of sanity. 1/2 tends to play tighter than these levels from what I've found.

Numbers look good. Countine to play the same way and 1/2 should not be to hard of change. Each step up expect to see more aggrisive players. 1/2 might be the expcetion to that rule. I been seeing more TAP then LAG or TAG.

These are good stats. if you keep them on 1-2 you will be doing good. VPIP might drop a little (17-18% is pretty standard).

What needs a little bit of improvement is W$SD. Since your WTSD is pretty high you might be calling down with a little to many hands.

Good luck!

I'm mixing in 1/2 with my regular 0.5/1 as well to clear this bonus faster. From the few tables of 1/2 I have played so far, it seems to play very similar to 0.5/1. I don't think your starting hand selection should change at all between 0.5/1 and 1/2. However, I did notice people got more aggressive preflop, especially if many people had folded and it got short-handed.

p.s. your vpip may be a tad too high. Then again, you only have 8500 hands, so, sample size blah blah....
And make sure youre sufficiently bankrolled before you play at 1/2 for any extended period of time.

Table selection is much more important at 1/2. Don't stay at a table with a VPIP < 30 (do not let PT include your stats in this calculation). It might take some time to find a good place to play each session, but it's worth it.

thanks guys i am pretty happy with my VPIP as i am a bit better post flop player.. i do agree though my WTSD is to high i need to change that but i play way to many Axs i that is alot of my problem chasing down flush draws ect.

thank you for all the good advice and watch here i come!!

Your VPIP is fine, dont work to decrease it if you are comfortable playing those hands, it will happen on its own because of the tighter tables.
