Review of my last 4.2k hands
PRE-FLOP
- overall stats: 17.7/13.6/2.75 3bet: 3.4 fold to 3bet: 42.9%Â Â

- playing too many hands from the SB (calling too much) 23.7/15.9; still calling too much from much from BB 14,7/7,1; I could try to play more hands from the button 22.5/18... I should def. be more tight from the blinds as it's my worst bb/100
- steal 25% could be a little higher and open more from btn
- stop calling when there more than 2 raises, even if i've got good odds
- doing bad on HU flops (however low sample and the biggest loser was a bad beat)
- doing good on multiway flops mainly by hitting sets and getting payed off
HOLE CARDS
- Most of my money is comming from pocket Aces, big and medium pairs, most of the time hitting set or overpairs.
- I'm loosing most money with unsuited aces mainly by overplaying Top Pair kinds of hands and being dominated.
- Not a good sample to see how i'm doing with SC kind of hands.
POST FLOP
- WTSD: 24.8% ok
- W$SD: 54.2% ok
- W$WSF: 40%Â
- playing too tight
- 3bet a little more
- calling too many 3bets
- not squeezing enough
- need to cbet a little more
- try to 3bet resteal from the BB
- need to steal more
So as you can see I still got a ton to work on my game. Â I think i'll start by:
- calling less from the blinds and restealing more.
- folding to more 3bets
- stealing moremore
What do you guys guys think about my analysis? Am i missing something? Do you have any recommendations?

Hey Cooin
Re: Restealing
If you're 3bets aren't getting any respect, then there's no problem w/ only 3betting the top 3% for value.
That said, you should be looking to 3bet regulars who open > 40% on the button and fold to ~70% of 3bets.
Re: Defending
You should be folding dominated hands at 5NL... People just aren't 3betting enough as a bluff in general. That said, if you find some regulars who are 3betting you light, then you should either be flatting wider IP, opening tighter OOP, or 4betting wider for value/as a bluff depending on how they adjust.
Re: Stealing More
If the blinds defend less than 60% cumulatively, you can 3x any button for an instant profit. That said, people's leaks at 5NL are that they call too wide preflop and postflop, and then play their hand face up allowing you to play perfectly IP. Open wider from the BTN and pay attention to how people adjust.

Thanks for the response! Currently I use the Attempt to Steal stat on my HUD but I think i'll add the open raise from BTN to see when to 3bet from the blinds
Unfortunately i don't have aim, i've got skype, gtalk and msn, send me a pm if you have any of those.
