TBH if you think about it dg, tournys are far swingier than cash.
Even if you are losing now it could very well be just a downswing and some bad play mixed in. But in tournys you can do the right move for a long time and not cash or min cash all the time.

You need a far bigger bankroll to combat the swings of tournys imo since generally your graph will go down consistently until you hit a (big-ish?) cash.

PM me for times and days.
 
A -2BI day is always lovely 🙂 ... See this is what happens when I actually decided to play a bit... I blame peeleo's bad 5nl vibes tbh... 🙂

Didn't play terribly but just ran into hand after hand.

Lost a stack with AA vs. a set of 5s, the rest was just kinda crappy, maybe a little spewy stuff. Wanted to play a bit more tonight but feeling sorted tilted which doesn't normally happen. People calling raises with A4o OOP and making min raises UTG+1 with Q10 might be contributing to that. I know I should be there exploting that sort of stuff but I just can't handle it tonight unfortunately 🙁
 
I would hate to think that i'm affecting anybodies play 🙂 But i didnt even spend the day losing my 6BI's, it happened in about 2 hrs lol.

I went through my PT stats for last night to see if it was me playing bad that lost the coin or beats, had a look at the hands which lost me the most money and it's came down to -$10 to bad play -$10 to bad luck and the other ten is a little bit of a gray area.

So i posted some hands in the HA, would love some feedback.

Made a whole $2.39 back today, after promising myself i wouldnt play again this weekend 😱 so only (lol) down $27.23 for the weekend 😱 i have a lot of work to do this week!
 
Yay !! Sh*t day of about just under -3BIs which was fantastic! Im not running great and having a load of rivered shit but you dont want to hear that.

One thing I have learnt through this rough patch in February is that you must have patience and you cant expect to run good all the time. If you lose a BI you cant expect to win it back immediately and you have to wait for the correct moment.

To combat this rough stage now I am going to cut to 8 tables strictly for this week and grind the **** out of this week. I played 4k today which was good. Im going to try and play 14k hands this week, well 6 days which I am going to complete playing no more than 8 tables. I keep stacking off overpairs and being value towned when I have TPTK, I need to fold these hands and believe villians.

Just going to focus on playing better poker this week and not grinding, even though I will be grinding hard I will be playing proper poker!
 
I think we got away from the position talk (which I thought was heading in a nice direction). So, lets post some stealing #'s. Please post for me:

CO Steal:
Button Steal:
SB Steal:

Then, in Hold'em Manager, run the filter "Steal Attempt Made" and just notice your BB/100 for each of the 3 positions. Are they positive? Very positive?

Here's my numbers, for 6-max over the last 6k hands:

CO Steal: 37%
Button Steal: 57%
SB Steal: 63%

I can't find the "Steal Attempts Made" filter in HEM. Anyone?

Filter > Load > Steal Attempt Made


As for mine over my last 10k hands :

SB - 29.5% @ -51.5BB/100
BU - 57.5% @ 172.8BB/100
CO - 32.6% @ 41.4BB/100
 
So do you guys think we should be stealing more from the SB since we only have 1 player to get through? Or less because we're going to be OOP, and it just looks so damn fishy?

WIthout taking the player in the BB into account my steal success overall in the sb is higher than any other position (60%). When they call I'm still cbetting 2/3 pot or so a little over 70% of the time, and thier folding exactly half of the time. Against people that just wont adjust I'd imagine you could steal 100% and turn a profit. Vs, good players and calling stations I would think this might not be the case.
 
Mine are, for FR over 7k hands

Steal Attempt %'s

CO: 30.93
BTN: 44.59
SB: 25.32

I use pokertracker and can't figure out how to find the bb/100 for when i tried to steal, anyone else using pt3 and know how to do this??
 
Ok, might have just found out how to do it in pt3, filters>>actions>>chance to steal and raised??? then add BB/100 in the configure report bit??
 
Well done man, makes me feel bad though 🙁 You make $114 bucks profit in 15 days over 6k hands and i'm at $29 now (after a -6BI saturday night) over 7k 🙁 i've got a lot of work to do. I sooooo wish i never played on saturday. I found the same problem with 6 tables on sunday morning though, i'm definetly sticking to 4 forever i think lol

Congrats on an awesome half month 😀
 
is this correct? Not sure if I have done it correctly

EDIT:

Steal %

SB: 49.4
CO: 24.6
BTN:36.5

I need to steal more from the CO right ??

Poker is a marathon not a sprint 😉.

Well done Custo.

Cheers mate. I think the whole switch from SnG's to Cash is a massive reason for my success. I had 1 session where i was on the verge of losing like 5 buy-ins in under an hour. I saw it coming and jumped off right away with a 2.5 buy-in drop. Just take it one session at a time and you'll be fine.

Who knows what my results will be like now that I'm going to 10NL. I could well be even after 10K hands.

And exactly as Sindri said, this is a marathon. I just happened to have a nice recent run and not over-play my sessions. Maximise what I can, get off, then start again fresh

Yeah, you've done it correctly. You need to steal more from everywhere. Notice that just about everyone's BB/100 when they make a steal attempt is insanely high. All 3 of mine are above 60bb/100 and I steal 57% of the time from the button. You'd think players would catch on, especially at 6-max, but they don't. Read the "Plugging Leaks 2 - The Basics" article under the articles menu. Notice that the more you steal, the higher your overall win rate. We should all be looking for spots to steal with a wider range of hands, and from different positions.

I went and checked my numbers for cbet and cbet success in the sb and I'm cbetting 81.4% with a 50.6% success rate.😱

I would have never thought it would've been so high on either number.
