    Default How do my stats look? (First Post)

    Hey there. This is my first post on Poker Forums.

    I have some initial numbers from Poker Tracker and was hoping someone could look at them and give me an idea where I stand and where I can improve? I am playing micro limits currently and am attempting to just play ABC poker. My goal is to play a tight aggressive game but I don't think I am there just yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hands - 487
    Hand won - 14.37%
    BB/100 - 9.24
    VP$IP - 22.59%
    PFR - 11.09%
    W$WSF - 46.15%
    W$SD - 47.37%
    AF - 5.75
    AFq - 57.14

    Talk to us in about 9,513 hands. I can play 487 in an hour. It's nothing.

    That said - you're really aggressive which is good but you're limping and/or calling too much. If your VPIP and PFR were closer (say 22/20) it'd be better. Also is this full ring or 6-max?

    Hi Chuck, welcome to the forum!

    MJ is right that it is very difficult to get any information at all out of 487 hands, but he was kind enough to give you a bit of feedback.

    If you're looking to improve, stick around, join the conversation, post some hands in hand analysis and read the analysis of others peoples hands. Once you have 10k hands tracked, posts your stats again.

    You can draw some conclusions about your stats from 500 hands, I have >500 hands on almost no-one online. A VPIP of 22 is too high for full ring try to get it neerer to the 16 mark by limping in less, especially out of position.

    It will be easier to analise the rest of your stats once you have more hands played.

    I'm not a huge full ring fan only because I'm not that patient. I used to run a 16/14/3 style and grinded out a profit month in/month out.

    Hands that you limp call with are often pockets and drawing hands which means it's pretty easy to read you post flop and ultimatly, hard for you to extract value for your hands.

    So like evreyone else here has said, limp/call much less, avoid playing out of position, take the iniciative more pre flop to give your self more options post flop.

    Good luck

    Note to self ^

    I used to raise pretty much any PP from any position just to build the pot, unless some raised first and did it for me, for the times that I hit my set but lately I've just been limping them and I'm not sure why. I guess I thought I might not be winning enough when I was getting there to pay for the times that I wasn't.

    That sounds like something I should be able to pull out of HEM and would be worth taking a look at I think.

    Raising PPs is generally good because the times you don't flop a set you'll take the pot down with a cbet a lot.

    tbh those stats are pretty good if you've only just started playing poker. vpip could maybe be lower for full ring and try to keep pfr and vpip close together. Something like 16/12 would be perfect imo.
    For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.

    I recommend Cardrunners for superb poker coaching. It was honestly the single biggest improvement in my game signing up there! Sign-up fee might seem steep, but it pays itself back within weeks.

    as a full ring player myself.. i think your VPIP is a bit too loose for optimal play (but not by much though), and u are limping way too much. Try to keep your VPIP and PFR within at least 3% of each other. Optimal play probably lies somewhere between 15/13 to 21/19 for full ring.

    Basically adjust by raising everything u would normally limp. Its okay to limp-behind if say a shortie (some guy with less then 40bb stack) limps in first. But for everything else that u play first-in, u should be raising. Cut down a slight bit on what your playing in EP-MP and u should be able to achieve like 21/19 type stats.

    Your AF is healthy and your W$WSF and W$SD is good too - so I wouldn't worry to much about those.

    Also post your steal %'s from c/o, button and sb.
