Message: [QUOTE="StormRaven, post: 1305939, member: 53047"] ^^^This is great advice. I don't recall you mentioning if you had HEM or PT3? With HEM there is a program called Leak Buster and you can display certain stats with it that shows your pos #'s and such. While you can't be too concerned about a "good" number it doesn't hurt to watch your #'s and aim for some goals while improving your game. Posting screen shots of your #'s is a great idea. Like mentioned above, positional numbers should be higher in lp than ep. This is a mistake I've made in the past and am working on fixing. Get a feel for where the recommended stats should be and then get a feel on how to get them there. For instance I had a very low cbet% and high fold to sb/bb steal which are opposite of what they should be at. So I worked on those and got a feel for when it was a good spot during my play to change them. I'm still working on it, it is getting better. I should have mentioned before that my style is pretty aggressive post flop, I like to take pots down and not allow chases to the river so while I am losing out on some ev with this style, I am also taking down a lot of smaller/medium sized pots on a pretty consistent basis without a showdown. That is why my showdown #'s are high, I don't allow my opps to get there too often. This may be a leak but it's a newer style I'm trying and having some success with. I went through a period of bad beats and losing streaks and started practicing increasing my post flop aggression numbers and it's working nicely for me. I'm bluffing a lot more than I ever use to as well with success. (This is relative to the fact that I use to be too chicken to bluff, wasn't comfortable with it and I have significantly increased my cbets and firing off that 3rd bullet in spots I would never dream of doing before.) So yes, while monitoring your numbers is good, do not work towards a specific number, rather a range. If you are successful with your numbers being in a certain range, although it may contradict what is recommended, then stay the course because it is working for you. Work on the ranges you know you are having problems with. [/QUOTE]
