Dascoupe's 10k hands 0.02/0.04 LIMIT Goal

Wow!

You're a much better player than you were yesterday!

Add more tables.

Show us more stats!

New assignment: Stop cold calling.

Looking at your KQo you need to raise *MUCH* more often preflop. 12.5% PFR is too small.

If you get a big unsuited hand think fold or Re-raise!!
KQo doesn't play well with lots of players, re-raise that puppy up.

My guess is you're limping or cold calling too much.
Pretty much the only time you cold call is big suited cards like AQs in late position.

If you never cold call this week, I think you would only be making a small mistake.

Think Tight Aggressive!!

If you have a much better than average hand you need to get the money in there.

9 players may call but get that money in there.

congrats, you're starting to play poker.

I don't know about KQo. I'll have to check my stats when I get home. KQo is a hand I feel is often overplayed. For sure your PFAF is WAY too low. If you open the pot preflop, don't call - raise.

Your big winners are the easy to play hands. Look at your big losers and see what hands you are playing too often.

DasCoupe

Thanks for the kind words guys;

I didn't start playing yesterday, but I did just get Pokertracker on Monday... So this whole stats-keeping is all new to me. Loving it so far!

KQ just got lucky a few times! I raise it if I'm in late position, call in mid, fold in early. Hit a few good flops for sure.

Awesome informative post on all accounts. Going to have to look into getting pokertracker.

DasCoupe

Update today, spent nearly 5 hours playing 8 tables and got over 1600 hands in tonight :)

Results:

And a graph that makes me feel good:

I got mine by bonus whoring from PokerSourceOnline.

Ok this is AWESOME!

Your advice has been a godsend when you bump it up to 10-15 tables... 15-tabled for about 2 hours today to bring my total hands over 5k (since we're half way through June and my goal is to be done by the end of the month at the LATEST)

Anyway.

BE AGGRESSIVE! Play SMART! SELECTIVE pre-flop aggression is key!

When you're running 15 tables you don't have time to ponder the odds of your suited connectors... Go back to basics, any pocket pair above 7's, AK, AQ, AJ, KQ, KJ, QJ or any Ax suited.

That was my strategy, shove like crazy with one of those hands, and they paid off more often than not... Anyhoo, on to my stats so far!

Good times, playing that many tables is a RUSH! And tiring! 2 hours is the most I can do that for methinks.

Also there is larger varience playing more tables, I was down to $13.50 at like 5200 hands, then at 5300 I was back over $16!

Nice work, In a couple more sessions of 18 tables you should be done.

ReefAquarium

It's good to see that you're getting tighter and more aggressive preflop.

You're probably the best player at any table you're sitting at.

Keep crushing the games!

DasCoupe

Amazing how a month ago I struggled to play 4 tables at once, and I just couldn't fathom how people could play 10+ at a time...

I think the key is Cascade ;)

And pokerstars for popping up when action is needed...

Sort by last 2000 hands or so to see your recent results. Your PFAF is still ridiculously low.

More tables decreases variance, not increases.

When I get home I'll try and figure out how to sort by last 2000hands...

But noticing in the last 2000 hands it has gone up .25 from .5 to .75, that means I was probably averaging around 1-1.25 PFAF in the last stint of hands...

That a good number? I hear 1.5 is a good goal

Well here it sits today:

Good stuff.

Finished my goal today!

Very happy with how it ended up, increased my BR from $21 to $51.50, learned a ton about multi-tabling, as I was doing 16 tables comfortably near the end of the experiment.

Here is my final screenshot of Pokertracker with my 0.02/0.04 experiment:

I think I will move up to 0.05/0.10 now :)

good work

ReefAquarium

Good stuff!

Congratulations!

Drop down the number of tables a bit until you get used to the new stakes.

You should find the players play terrible at .05/.10. Just playing tight preflop will serve you well but also start to try to really focus on postflop play.

Todays lesson:

On the flop if the player on your right bets, Raise or fold... Especially if there are players behind to act. If there are many players to act *NEVER* call.

I agree with dropping the number of tables. You'll need some time in between hands to get reads and take notes on the new player pool you will be up against. Pokertracker+HUD is always nice to have, but typing in a few notes here and there on the players you encounter most often will be very valuable.
