FWIW, I am fine with this time frame - I'll just make sure I have a lot of coffee before... 😀
I'm also happy to just review results afterwards if there's a ton of interest from others, but I think this is a heck of a good idea.
sample size is tiny so its probably just varience or your misplaying them some how.Steveg1976 said:
Solution: play more and post some AK hands in the HA section.
your only like 1(or 2?) buy-ins down on thouse hands and thats just one lost flip against QQ or w/e so i wouldnt pay much notice to it just yet.
fyi AKs is my 4 biggest winner over the last 30K hands but AKo is a marginal loser just cause i lost two 200BB pots with it,one flip(vs JJ) and a major suckout against AQ.
Dont pay it do much mind until u have some kind of sample,post some hands in the HA and if u whant u can e-mail me the AK hands and i would be happy to take a look for u.
edit: why dont u have a 100% pfr% with AKo? also maybe start 3beting AKo more...
I dont think you can tell much from your sample with the AK. You might wanna take a look at some of the flop textures you have been cbetting it with against different types of opponents, especially in the 3bet pots. Ignore the hands that are coolers, flips, and villians having the top of thier range, unless they are nits

fwiw, at full ring there are plenty of times where flatting in position with AK is standard. There are even a few villains against whom folding preflop is +EV.
At 100nl+, my stats with AK are 96/88/3 and I only 3bet 65%.
Regarding the AK convo I had a problem with this at 10NL, I am yet to check my stats with this hand since moving to 25NL. I think I am going to check what they are and post later on.
Also I have been beating 25NL at only 2BB/100 over 60k hands but have started the month well beating it at 5.5BB/100 since moving to only 8 tables. Also during yesterdays session I looked at minor leaks in my game and I am going to try and iron them out so I can press on to 50NL by the end of the month. My thoughts on my game are below fwiw.
Leak 1 = Playing a few too many pots OOP - Example hand is I have KJo in the BB and MP raises 4x. I flat and the flop comes 4A10 I call a cbet and turn is an x. This isnt going to be a massive pot but $4/5 are just chipping away at my profits. I should be 3betting this preflop or folding it its a mistake I need to work on.
Leak 2 = Im calling behind too much, I dont know if this is a leak or not but say I have A10s in the HJ and UTG+1 raises, MP1 calls and then I am calling behind. I am calling with marginal hands like JQ,KJ,A10,J10 etc etc
Leak 3 = Another leak which I know is bad and I dont do it often but I do it a few times a session is calling too many 3bets both preflop and postflop. Examples are calling 3bets when stealing with PP's like 33-99 which isnt giving me the odds to set mine. Also my cbets are getting 3bet when I say have TPTK and I keep calling and then calling value rivers bets of say $3-5 and this is just nibbling away at my profits when they show two pair,sets or they rivered their draws.
I am going to work on these during this month and I need to watch the maths videos on DC. I have been telling myself to do this for a few weeks but I really need to get down to it.

Hey guys haven't checked here in this thread for a while. Little down tbh. Rocketed through 5NL now I'm crashing and burning at 10NL. I started off at 7.55 BB/100 after 1100 hands. Now after 6500 hands im down to 0.8 BB/100.
most moved i pulled at 5NL aren't working at 10NL. Hopefully its just a bad run and things pick up soon.
Hope everyone is doing well in the world of Micro 🙂

Remember a couple of things Custo. First, WINNING, even at less than than 1BB/100, is not crashing and burning. Second, you ran extremely hot at 5nl over a fairly small sample, so you're not-as-steep upturn could just be the result of variance. 6500 hands is a small sample and luck will have played a very significant influence on your winrate over it.

Thanks mate! It's good to read things like this so I don't go on total tilt. I have a wedding today so no poker for the next 36 hours or so. Going to take the time to reflect on how I've played so far and come back refreshed. 6500 hands just feels like so much, I'm going to have to get used to the fact that it really is just a 'drop in the ocean'.
EDIT- When are you going to update your blog WV?

those are all common mistakes people make at 25nl. you need a good preflop hand selection chart to get over em. I'm making those juicy tables tougher by putting it out there but here it is. http://www.pokerclub.be/affiliate/cardrunnerschart5gt3.jpg
follow this by heart at 25nl and you'll never find yourself in tough situations- I don't want to go any deeper on how it'll help you- I already mentioned it another thread you can search if u like.
ps. if there is a huge fish, or some other VALID reason for u to believe you should open up, then you should. also this chart is for 6-max!

That chart makes me LOL! AJ,KQs and ANY PP in the UTG range, I dont think thats profitable! AQ+ and 66+ is my UTG range. The chart isnt aggro enough for me also in late position so I dont think I will be following it by heart.
Its post flop I think I need to work on with 3bets and being more aggro pre flop or mucking those type of hands, obv villian dependant but preflop hand selection isnt really an issue anyway thanks for the info dude

Me thinks you might have took this as a full ring chart?? He says at the end that its for 6max, the UTG range looks ok for 6 max and it is a cardrunners chart so who am i to disagree lol
I'm useless at 6max though so i will never be trying that chart, far too aggressive and swingy for my liking, 3 bets and 4 bets every 10 hands lol No thanks 🙂
