Hi All,

Not as easy decision but a logical one.

I haven't been playing for quite a while.

I'm no good so it's just a waste of time, and i need the money to help my grilfriends son.

And im ecstatic about the free game called EVONY.

Where I can pretty much play most of the day if i want to, stress free mostly.

It's intellectually challenging aand there is absolutely no TILT or bad days.

Good luck to those of you who are good enough to win money, sadly i wasn't.

And Gambler64, good luck to but ive close my CR membership and will save the $30/month which i can use on Evony if i so chose.

I appreciate your support and help as always.

Tony

Hi all,

It's been a ride, with a lot of ups and down and a lot of lost $$$ to.

I've just discovered a wonderful, virtually free game called EVONY, where I can play all day and succeed to. Be a member of an alliance and talk to people in my alliance in chat while im playing.

It's both a time consuming and entertaining game, which brings me some fun every day, unlike poker

So I'm going to remove my funds and close out the account on Carbon Poker and put the $2000 or so to saving up to buy my girlfriends fantastic 18 year son a car. He's model caliber you man with a fantastic future ahead of himself. He currently models with a local agency is interested in acting, and has been picked up by Disney as a mentor of his career.

So Good luck to all out there.

Tony

Still Evolving

Blog by : AAATONYKK

Hi all,

I played a few days on $10 lost a few buyins, and regrouped.

I'm currently testing the use and advantages of 2X raising.

If one takes a super tight std utg range of TT+, ATs+, AJ+, KQs, KQ Pokerstove gives 7.4 %

So what i wanted to know was what range of hands i could play if i raised 2X and replaced KQ, AQ and AJ with other hands for the same output.

So i pretty much looked up all hands on HM and checked the % win and order.

Then i worked out the cost of the above range, give 6 pairs, 4 suited and 12 non suited, SO

AA = 6 X 3 (as in 3X) =18.

AND all the hands in the range = 294 buyins to play from the std 1326 hands.

Now do the same for 2X and we get. 196 buyins, so ive got 98 byins to spend on other hands. Also lets eliminate AQ, AJ, and KQ and there is another 109 buyins available.

So i now go looking up the win % of the top hands down, and using the same cash outlay filll out the range to about the same cost as it would to 3X the tight range and i get.

44+, A7s+, AK, QJs, JTs, T9s for the same cash outlay which is 9.8% and collectively give a much bigger total average win %.

I don't think people are going to 3-bet exceptionally more as my range is still tight, and where they do and i have to fold, i save some cash. Yet still will take the blinds a reasonable amount of the time.

So taking a sort of std TAG range of utg 7.4%, M 14, CO 18 and btn 22 and applying this 2X logic it evolves new ranges for the same cost of utg 9.8, M 18.9, CO 23.5 and Btn 33.5.

And to that limping where advantageous and there is more bang for the buck.

Winning the blinds is fine, but one misses a lot of flops that could win more money too.

Also there are saving overall from having 2X hands 3-bet as opposed to 3X hands.

After the all suited hand experiments ive been able to select more efficient ranges, which on the btn now just include, A2s+, K2s+, Q2s+, J9s+, and all the TWO gappers on down. Calling ranges in the blinds have also been adjusted based on more hand data.

My BR hit bottom at $2080 on Oct-26, and with recent wins/loses and bonus/rakeback its on $2131, over 11K of hands.

So i'm just about to start the 2X experiments and see how it does.

One of the biggest changes and achievements in my current efforts to improve and become the winning player i used to be, is the relative change is showdown hand win v losses ar =>50bb's.

And looking at the recent on going accumulative stats, since July-31, my average % loss at showdown of =>50bbs has fallen from 7.47% to 5%, while my cumulative average win % of =>50bb's has decreased from 8.17% to 6.82%, giving a net gain from the difference of from +0.7% wins over losses on July-31 to the current 1.82%. This to is still evolving.

This has given rise to extra showdown winnings of $2100 and $346 total rake taken.

So my game albeit slow is improving from a solid foundation, of much reduced tilt, better control over the DO NOT DO play leaks, and the evolving optimization of ranges and betting sizes.

Finally a relatively BIG win day

Blog by : AAATONYKK

Hi,

Everyone at CR knows ABC poker, at least the principles, that's the basis from which you branch into your own style of play, much like chess.

And we all know give or take ABC is differentiated ranges from utg to the btn, giving optimum stats of 21/17/5 or there abouts, 3-bets 4-6 %, Flop cbets 70%, turn cbets 40%. Table selection, looking for fishy targets, and avoiding confrontations with regulars (TAG or LAGs), and keeping the maniacs on ones right. Set mining is standard, as is raising 3X when first to bet.

Well that's sort of the ABC basics, at least in the micros.

Now back to the title. well we all run like GOD once every 50K of hands or so, and today was one of mine. with 8.5 buyins up in 900 hands at 98 bbs/100 give or take.

Mostly big pairs bought in the $$$, but with considerable help from the fish.

Of late I've been stepping away from ABC poker to some degree, because its just one stye of play.

Given i'm not good, but even the likes of Durrr, Ivy, Cole South, Townsend, Hastings, Raptor. and others evolved a style of play to suit their temperament and skill level, that no doubt deviates from the ideal.

I don't know what style of play I will end up with, but one only finds out by experimenting, like CTS raising every hand on the button experiment, or playing the maniac for a few rounds then switching gears, ala Townsend's vid example.

My current journey at the bottom is one of experimenting to find out what does and doesn't work for me.

I've got a database currently of 243 K of hands at the level im playing.

The one thing about poker is there IS no one way to play, no correct approach. as everything depends on the level, quality of opposition, and ones ability at that level.

I don't know what the numbers are, but few people get above $1/2 and win that is a fact.

So that said, my favorite CR pro currently is VitalMyth.

In a one of his leakfinder vids, he emphasized the need for a good ratio between ones bet size and the stack of the opponent, simply because to make the average hands be it 44, AJ or JTs one needs to be able to win above and beyond the hands that don't hit, so to speak, and he talked about the std 3X into a 100bb stack. giving 33:1 like odds.

Which one may say, well yer, obvious enough. But when some of the players are short stacker's to some degree, this changes the whole dynamic.

3X 22 into your average 20-50 bb short stacker, doesn't give one a lot of leverage to recover the losses from the first 7 X 3X bets, obviously.

Of late ive been focusing on suited ranges and where and how to play them effectively.

The current experiment has me playing all suited hands from the CO, Btn, when there is not raise bebore i get ot act, and selectively playing then ALL to 3X raises from the SB, and BB since the price is right so to speak.

Now i know my recent adventure is going to get people saying im a lunatic, but i want to find out the merit or not of more or less limping everything, when its not raise before hand.

STUPID, not ABC, well that's definitely true.

BUT there are math consequences worthy of consideration.

And it goes without saying that putting someone on a hand who limps 26% isn't easy.

Now the math is worth considering, from the point of the experiment.

What ever the probability of "hitting" is by the std. 3X its is THREE times that when one limps.

Take the most useful examples say T9s, and A9s for the sake of a selection to make the point.

http://www.checktheodds.com/flopodds.html

Give odds and % for specific types of flops.

So looking at T9s first, it hits a flush draw 10.9% of the time, an open ended str8 draw, 9.6% of the time, two pairs 2% of the time trips, and 99X flop 1% of the time, and flopping a flush 0.8% of the time.

Add them all up and we get 24.3% chance of hitting one of these flops.

So we 3X and 24,3% of the time we hit a hand or a draw.

Now if we limp, in theory we get to see the hand 3 times over, so for the same $$$, we get 72.9 % chance of hitting a hand.

No lets look at A9s, there is 13.5 % chance of an XXA flop, and the others we have above giving this hands a 3X basic of 28.2% chance of hitting a hand or a draws, and like wise limping obviously give us 84.6 % of hitting a hand of sorts for the same money.

Now i'm not saying this is better, as the after the flop situation and position have there say, but so does the math too.

So today i thought i'd add this obscure, very fishy approach to my game, or a least the current phase of its experimental evolution.

So the 8.5 buyin win, where did the money come from.

Well one has to run like God, and the fish have to be in a very generous mood to say the least.

But let me back up a bit. Lets say for instance one opens say 11 % of hands utg. 22+, ATs+, AJ+, KQs, KQ.

Now from my whole database PFR these hands gave 2011 I elected to play. which in total faced 316 3-bets, so 15.7%. Now regardless of which hands one calls or folds its still a lot of folded $ down the drain.

However, regardless of how crazy limping might be, one can pretty much call any raise to 3X or even 4X, and yes some of which will get 3-bet too. So that that sort of means is one can extend ones range a bit for the same $$$. So now playing utg and limping all, 22+, A2s+, AK, KQs, JTs, T9s, 98s is an interesting alternative at 11.6% and its cost a lot less too.

It's just an experiment.

So where did the $$$ come from, well you might guess, AA, KK, QQ, AK bought in 6+ of the 8.5 buyins.

Of the rest T9s got 1 buyin, KTs another, and the rest balanced out the loses to a plus of $0.9.

That left some 200 suited hands, of which 115 were played, winning about 1 buyin.

Total # of hands dealt was 892, of which 274 saw the flop and 74 went to showdown, winning 10 buyins.

AND for my std wins/loses of =>50bbs the loses were ZERO, and the wins 10, mostly 3/4 to over a buyins.

So not your average day.

Whenever I get a flush draws, ive taken to aggressively betting into them.

Today's hands saw 16 flush draws, 9 were winners, TWO hit the flush and bought in just under one buyin a piece, and overall netted one whole buyin.

208 suited hands were dealt, 120 saw the flop 57.7%, winning 2.5 buyins.

I've still got lots of work and experimenting to do, buti i'm winning for a change so i must be doing something right.

Current Update

Blog by : AAATONYKK
0

Hi all,

Im still mostly experimenting. Ive done a lot of work using data from my database and working with poker stove, particularly in unopened positions from the CO and Btn, where i get good Bet/fold stats.

Also similar work from the blinds, losses from which have always been a problem.

Firstly the pokerstove data suggest calling a fairly large range of hands from the BB in particular since its pretty cheap and a lot of dead money is worth protecting since break even is a big plus.

So from the blinds pokerstove analysis suggests calling any suited, and pair, and broadway down to JT.

It's still a loss, but its an optimum loss. Also calling all AX when raises come from the CO and Btn seems good. Since there range tends to be wide, when one hits an AXX flop, as VitalMyth suggested in one of his vids, just check calling can bring it good money.

Also it appears to be profitsable or at least breakeven to bet into flush draws and str8 draws up to 35-50bb, as when you hit, one often comes out ahead, and made straights are difficult to read.

The pokerstove analysis also suggest betting every unopened had on the button, as invariable the fold dead money exceeds ones 3-bet folds. And position can often bring one out ahead. The rake does the rest. Raising all hands SB v BB seems profitable long term because of the high fold rate there. I'm also experimenting wiith raising any suited hand from the CO when unopened.

Also on the button ive extended my cold calling range to include all suited i-gappers, Since utg, and M ranges tend to be 22+, ATs+, AT, KTs+, KJ, and maybe the odd QJs, JTs. So lots of times the lower suited will be good in position.

From my whole database raised suited, non premiums, (ie other than ATs, KJs) from the CO first in are winners. The same holds true from the btn when unopened.

I've dropped playing paris 22-66 other than in the blinds, cause they hardly win anything, but one gets a good price to set mine from the blinds.

So the experiments continue.

Although ive been on a down swing of late due to variance, the betting pot into str8 and flush draws is proving to be positive in general.

So on we go.

Poker definitely is a challenge.

Blog by : AAATONYKK
0

Hi all.

I try to ignore the overall results at they're not pretty. And the more i'm not successful the harder i work at it. It takes a lot of tenacity to get a Ph.D. especially in the sciences, believe me. So failure doesn't really discourage me. It just makes me work harder, well get more focuses would be a better expression.

I've the dubious and embarrassing results of having played 136K of hands on the $4 tables for a HM loss of $-200. Pretty bad aye. Even pathetic really.

Although over the last 52K of hands I'm only down $50. So my rate of loss has gone from $-1.47/1000 to $-0.94/1000, wow such progress. And I actuallly got to break even over the last 8.6 K of hands and then run bad over the next 400.

Still I'm not discouraged. I like a challenge.

Every level be it $4 or $400 has its own particular problems to overcome.

And i guess $2/$4 is the holly grail, the right of passage.

$1/$2 is wannabe, $2/$4 definitely IS, for those who beat it.

It must scare a lot of people, as even the venerable Veneer won't go any where near it. In fact I'm not exactly sure how many pros on CR can beat $2/$4, not many that is for sure.

I'm doing a lot of home work you might say. Which involves collecting data, and finding out what ticks down here in the gutter.

Hand ranges, well nothing is a given. Surfice it to say im back to collecting data.

It's become pretty impossible even to play 4 tables with HM and hud up, because it just sucks on memory and locks up. So ive taken to playing without it.

So i'm on a new and ever expanding data hunt. To get some answers. And deal with the biggest issue we all face, namely loss in the blinds.

So for the moment I'm doing the eternal set mining, in all position to find out what does and doesn't work. All hands some 8091 that saw the flop made only $0.08/hands from May-4, which sort of peaked at around the remainging 3 K after August-1 at $0.095/hand.

The next group is AXs. Not so many have been played from the early and middle positions. Both CO and btn 355 and 444 hands respectively show wins. BUT the most hands were played from the BB 627, that saw the flop and won 99% of the money. So i'll keep with the data search for now.

I need to know what does and doesn't work. I've come to realize that there is a lot of dead money, regarding hands unopened from the CO, Btn and SB.

So currently I'm raising pot, any suited hand from the CO, unopened to me, and ALL HANDS from the Btn and SB when folded to me.

I want to see what the fold/call ratio is, and define the most optimum ranges to play.

As to the blinds perse, well lets say that's a work in progress.

Yesterday was a bummer, 1.69 K hands played. And actually only lost just over 2 buyings.

But the devil was at work again, and he's a grandmaster.

I tend not to tilt or complain about losses theses days as long as i got it in good.

My win/loss =>50bb's was off. 5 losses to 5 wins.

The big and bad included.

JJ v AK river suckout.

QQ v 44 flop 3 4 4 Q lol at that one. Especially since ive been getting a zillion quads of late.

KT v AJ I flop second NUT str8, he suck fullhouse on the river.

76 v QJ and this is a real beauty. The odds of flopping a str8 from a connector is 1.3%. So 1,3 in 100. He hit top str8, me bottom str8, on the flop, thats 1.69 times in 10,000 hands, so pretty rare.

Finally AK v 76s, the flop K 4 6 7 7

The most notable and rare event was losing 4 buyins in the blinds, but its just variance.

I'm on the right pathway to eventual success.

So no complaints, I got it in good every time.

Mostly rare to very rare losses.

Today, the scales will swing my way i hope. LOL.

So im just grinding away, collecting data, and solving the problems.

ROYAL FLUSH X 2

Blog by : AAATONYKK
0

Hi all,

i hadn't intended on blogging until i got my act together, which i may now be achieving finally.

BUT today i got my second ROYAL FLUSH this MONTH.

The bonus from Carbon Poker, is unfortunately, only the buyin of the table one is playing.







I've been on a losing streak for w while now.

I'm really working hard to get my shit together these days, as i'm pretty disgusted with my play over the last 12 months.

So once again I took a hard look at my 200+ K database, and worked out generally what what hands won and where. As i've said before i always have a sheet on my lap with my ranges and special instructions, including the DO NOT DO EVER category. Hopefully now i'll turn things around. Also ive noted that betting any hand from SB into BB is plus EV. Similarly when unopened on the button, any pair, and AX/AXs and any suited hands when bet 3X into the blinds is plus EV. So I'm looking to see some progress finally in the months till the end of this year.

I've had a couple of winning session yesterday and today, with my ever evolving ranges.

Also ive decided to datamine my loss/per hand from the blinds. So i worked out the overall average to date and im compiling forward going data, to see if my play is improving. The blinds was one place i lost the most $$. Hence i hope the exensive resent analysis of the problem improves things.

Of late I've tended to be playing better from the blinds when i saw the flop, but the result are staggering behind in terms of comparative EV, so hopefully things will continue to improve.







For some time now ive be building a spread sheet of showdown result of =>50bb wins and losses.


The data is averaged over all, then the difference, or improvement charted.

Here is the current situation. I seem to be reaching an optimum skill level, but still improving slightly.

The data in the chart is somewhat irrelevant other that its direction over the last 239 K of hands played.







Sorry about all the charts, but its the only way to show progress.


Like it or not I haven't the patience to play 4 tables and im not good at either taking notes or using the hud to beat players. Hence my search for optimum multitabling hand ranges.

Of late there has been problems with my computer hanging up, and it seems to come from the HM postgre data uptake, which sucks on available memory too much.

So ive started playing without HM open, hence NO HUD. And to be quite frank its pretty useless to me when playing a lot of tables, and i want to play as many as possible.

My ranges and hands to play, where and when have now been optimized, and only occasionally do i have to look at the data sheet on my lap.

Hopefully my effort will continue to pay off.

I want to get a good amount of hands in on the bottom, ala Adamwill lol, then when i prove that i can win multitabling over like 60 K of hands, i'll move on up and repeat.


Good luck to you all out there.

Poker sucks, but it does fill in my day quite nicely.

And by nature im tenacious, ala the bike i'll sprint against anyone i can.

I'll be damned if i can't beat this game, at some level.

Taking another shot at $25

Blog by : AAATONYKK
0

Hi all,

My confidence is definitely growing. So much so the i downloaded the remaining funds, and play $18 buyin in the $25 tables, which game me a 126 buyin buffer.

I now have a database of 200K poker hands, and use it to update my ranges.

Unfortunately the day i played the $25 tables i forgot about my 4 fundamnetal principles.

#1 Quit after losing 1 buyin to an allin bad beat.

#2. Quit when down 3 buyins for the day or session.

#3. Fold to reraises on the flop or preflop unless holding KK/AA.

#4. Fold to any ALL without the absolute nuts.

I was very enthusiastic and a bit too gung ho, well we've all been there.

And got into chasing the down swing for 3.5K of hands and a loss just over 7 table buyins. bonuses go back around $23 thouth.

Overal position results were.





So i did good on the button, CO, and early positions, but got devastated in the blinds.

The day was marred by bad luck as my W$SD were way below my norm.

5 major bad hands lost just over 4 buy in, and result in part by breaking the 4 cardinal rules above.


#1. http://www.pokerhand.org/?5694720

AA v QT, nothing very bad hear other than a draw heavy flop, std bets runing into the nuts.


#2 http://www.pokerhand.org/?5694725

88 V K7s, the flop is clearly around 800:1, and yes he could have had other hands, but i broke RULE #4, and one really should avoid big bet coin flips, so a collosal ERROR.


#3 I don't need to show, just stupidity, AK get reraised by AA big time and i call. What was i thinking, unreal. breaks rule #3 and one buyin down the drain. So that's to gigantic errors.


#4 http://www.pokerhand.org/?5694736

QJs v AA. Now fist off, I should not call 5X raise from the blinds with this hand to just one opponent, as it plays best multi way. Then i just got unlucky, and hit, and he was happy for me to just bet into him.


#5 88 V AA need no explanation other than fold pairs less than KK to a preflop reraise. QQ might be an exception to a wide 3 bet stat.

There were other hands that violate the 4 cardinal rules.

On the positive side there was.


http://www.pokerhand.org/?5694746


http://www.pokerhand.org/?5694748


http://www.pokerhand.org/?5694750


My new and more normal cbet at 63% won $55.

Cold calling cost me 1.5 buyins due to not hitting on 67 hands.

3-bets 23 hands bought in a modest $5.8, and was marred my


AA folded.







AND KK finding an XXV flop which went bet, call, check, raise fold.

The button against unopened and limpers bout in $27, led by the big one buyin KK hand.

So it reminded me of some general leaks i needed to plug.

When i play I have my hud stats up in paint at the side of the desk top for quick reference.

AND my current HUD for those interested is.


VPIP PFR W$aSD

Fold Flop Cbet % Flop CBet Fold v turn bet

SB open call, BB open call


3 Bet % Fold to 3 bet % Donk Flop bet % Fold donk bet v reraise pot.


I play on a laptop with all tables overlapping, and for my currents goal, needs i'm restricting this to 10 tables.

I also have my position ranges written and set out for viewing.

And for those interested they are.


E

22+

A9s+

AJ

KJs+

KQ


M

As Above plus

A7s+

KTs+

KJ


CO

As above plus


A7s+ to a PFR, otherwise PFR with A2s+ to limpers

ALL suited 1-gappers either cold calling raises or PFR.

Also Cold call JJ-22 (QQ+ 3 bet), AJs+, AJ+.


Btn

As above plus

AT

KT

The rest the same.


SB/BB

Cold Call

55+,

AJs+

AJ+

KQ+

All suited connectors.


SB/BB

PFR

77+

A2+ ( surprisingly)

A2s+

Kts/KJ


That's the best from my current 200 K database.

So no sweat losing 7 buyins from 126.

I just moved down and am still running bad.

Right now im in my winter mega focused on poker frame of mind, with both enthusiasm, and endless determination.

Yesterday i biked with the Saturay group. going with the 20-22 mph group. Down near my house I led at 20 mph for about 3.7 miles. Let out on the first sprint at 23 mph into the wind, and took off in the last springt into some wind up to 26+ mph and 170+ HR. So i worked pretty hard.

Then its eat and sleep. So i didn't get many hands in as i went out (VERY RARE) to see some musician friends at 9 pm.

The 953 hands i did get in left a small loss.

My latest range addition namely suited 1-gappers from CO and Btn, and suited connectors from the SB/BB won just over 1 buyin ($11)

When i have a flush draw, i will pretty much call the first raise always. The big winner was

98s v 9Q

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5694794

My current project is to watch ALL Vitalmyth vids, and as he suggest run two tables at the side while in at it.

I'm giving it my best, trying to get my A game to gether, always using pot bets preflop, and mostly a mix of 1/2 and 2/3 cbets unless the nuts or a set then pot it.

Still here and giving it my all

Blog by : AAATONYKK

Hi all,

I've been on a bit of a downswing of late, which never helps one play well.

Since increasing my BR, and relative to the $10, regardless of other tables, ive gone from a 15 buyins upswing to a 13 buyins downswing. The drop of 28 buyins was contributed to by the obvious, namely running bad, playing bad and added money tilt.

It's tended to make me more timid and defensive, which eventually led me to trying 2X bet on every hand.

So ive been digging into my near 200 K database.

Some of you are aware of the Adamwill/Verneer connection.

As it so happens i had about 25K hands of his from a bunch i purchased on PTR.

So l took a good look at his style and revisited my endless rewriting of ranges i elect to play.

I also went back and started listening to vitalmyth again, who always motivates me.

Another endless hobby seems to be ever changing my hud.

Hopefully ive found a better balance now with both hud and ranges.

Instead of being so defensive, i've decided to adopt a pot open betting and raising style, and be more aggressive with cbets, also looking to take the blinds with any hand if the players are tight there.

Something regarding the braodway set of ranged hands, namely ATs+, KTs+, QTs+, JTs, caught my attention recently, so ive put then into my range on all positions to see how they work out.

Although i'm well rolled by most people's standards to play $25, i still haven't got it together enough, so ive gone back to $4 to work the kinds out.

I've tried 4 tabling, but i still remain a multitable geek, so i need to work on my efficiency doing that.

Yesterday, when i adoped a more aggresive style things went better, and i picked up about 3 buyins playing 1.8 K of hands in 4 hours.

I'd started off playing 4 tables, then taking a break rewatched the vitalmyth "The Big Difference" first vid where he discusses volume, and off i went back up to 12-17 tables.

The problem in part was setting up a hud i could get something from in seconds, and remember what the stats stood for.

Somewhere along the way i came across a comment about W$aSD %, and decided to add that to the list. Also in the second Adamwill/Vernerr vid he talks about donk bets and taking advantage of those, so i also added those stats.

I have the hud printed out in paint, on the side of my desktop so i can always look to get a reminder.

Yesterdays first session found JJ v QQ so that was a loser.

It also saw AA getting cracked twice, and by 43 off too when some fish went fishing.

The second set wasn't as bad but KK got sidetracked, and QQ found AA.

Finally in the last two set things came together, I lost one buyin to two suckouts, and KK found AA.

Then somewhere in there the big hands came into there own, and KQ, AJ, QQ, KK, 55 bought in about 3.5 buyins.

And the last short set found a mulit was with my 22 getting a set 6 way. Some fish shoved his JJ stack on the flop, 4 2 T, and some idiot with T5 suited and no flush draws put his stack in there. My set held and i pocketed nearly two buyins and immediately quit fior the night.

The CO and button were the big winners, wiith modest W$woSD, and a total of 6 buyins together.

I also picked up half a buyin from the rake. And beleive me its very nice to get rakeback added daily at Carbon Poker, which you will find across all merge.net sites plus 35% rakeback, the best in the industry.

Flop cbets were 77% and 57% successful, W$aSD eventually recovered to 52.9 %,

The most spectacular improvement to my game is the difference at SD between => 50bbs lost versus =>50bbs won.

On a % basis, over the last 163 K of hands the total % average difference has gone from ZERO to plus 1.57%, and although ive lost my fare share i picked up $1200 plus.

The showdown graph for all 200 K of hands shows the recent dramatic improvements, which currently average at 51.4 %.









358 hands saw the flop yesterday for a win of $21 of which cbets at 77% bought in $12.


So i'm hoping that things go well today too.

Hi all,

One of my biggest probelms is what hands to play in the SB and BB.

Any advice based on good result, ie limited loss would be appreciated.
