def too high on the river folds and you should prob loosen up a bit preflop. The two combined will let peeps walk all over you.

A little too tight preflop ( around 15-20% VPIP is good - as high as 25% if your confident in your postflop skill ) You should be raising more of the pots you are entering with that kind of VPIP though, but this maybe be due to blinds? what happens when you remove the blinds from the stats?

Maybe you should back up your posts with information instead of posting like a donk.

No need to flame either of you.

If you dont have PT, then you wont know about it slp. The preflop v$ip numbers discussed in the forums and gerally recognizable betw 15-23% are the same number hes quoting. You v$ip is low.

I dunno... in NL against weak opposition I don't know if it's really all that profitable to be playing marginal hands. You're definantly being too tight on raises though... if you're playing that few hands they should virtually ALL be for raises! Only limp with suited connectors and lowish pairs... and even those are often raising hands in unopened pots in late position.

Very aggressive on the flop! I like a ton of aggression here, especially since you will usually have the best hand playing that tight. But if you're that aggressive then you definantly shouldn't be folding that often on the river... if you have nothing and get played back at lay it down early, if you have something strong go all the way with it. That number tells me that you're chasing with a lot of weak draws and marginal made hands.

What's your win at showdown rate? It would seem like you would want it to be very high (which I'm guessing it is with all the river folds) ... but too high means both that you're not bluffing enough and you're not calling down enough with marginal hands... consider the odds of your hand being good and look at the pot odds, it's often profitable to call a medium sized bet even if you only think you have a 1/5 chance of winning!

Hmm...

PokerTrackers a limit tool.. at around $1/2 its not really that helpful - the tables don't go to showdown that often and many hands are won preflop which reduces you VPIP.

Ppl confuse LIMIT vpip with NL vpip. To give you an example

In Limit: you get AA. You bet and rerasie like a maniac on every street. Your VPIP is easily 6 or 7 for a typical hand

In NL you get AA at You either push or escalate preflop VPIP for AA= 1 or 2 BUT you have just pushed in maybe 10x the actual bet you have in limit.

Same applies to KK.

NL is about the managment of rare events- Pokertracker works well on LIMIT because the events are distributed on all streets.

You VPIP is in an OK range.. probably - rather shockingly - a little loose depending on what size stack you play with.

It is helpful to look at your position results - you should be beating the blinds in late postion - i.e the amount of money you lose on the blinds should at least equal the amount you make in the last two three positions. This is the major leak for most ppl.
