It must have the stat somewhere. I cold call from BB sometimes especially if the SB has come along with someone's raise

Just add the VPIP and PFR from BB column maybe

Here's the folded blind statistics, folding too much I agree !
Fold/Stealness

Yeah I thought about the VPIP / PFR from the blinds, just thought that it couldn't be the true number

Well again, you are making good money, but there's def. some BB/100 to dig out from the blinds.

Regarding how many tables to play. I am with Boomer here, 6max on Ipoker is 2 table, especially if it's turbo or game creation. Though the tables tend to fill pretty quick. So it's only when playin FR I don't give up to much by adding on the extra tables, but that's also due to the huge bonus amount I receive. Cus I could def. increase my BB/100 by 1 or 2, but then my total $/hour would drop.

The end of your graph is weak compared to my 4k of doom graph I showed you

The rest is solid thumbs up

Yeah, it's close to invisible, and was actual more an effect of running bad on a 1/2 table. If it had been on a 0.5/1 table, you wouldn't notice at all

lol if we puttet ours together it would like like a W$SD-W$WSD graph

But I do also use a table-selection/datamining software, wich is very nice and a huge +EV investment.

This is true, he's seen me call down with K-High now and knows how much of a fish I am

I think our graphs together and put a little man on it it'd look like someone diving into the ocean off Mount Everest, especailly if we include the start I had at Ipoker which was 150BB+ in about 1200 hands

I feel bad, as I haven't even played 1k hands yet. The sessions I've been playing have been shorter, I'm playing one table for the time being, and learning to quit better.

Today I got up pretty big with a maniac at the table and once he left the dynamics changed dramatically. I started to make a few questionable plays on the river (b/c instead of c/f) and decided to get up. I'll post a graph if anyone is interested, and I remember how.

This is true, he's seen me call down with K-High now and knows how much of a fish I am

Haha... Just wait till you see me play. Very soon hopefully

RB2K,

Maybe not as much a graph as overall stats of you play. Though 1K hands, ain't enough to rely on, it clearly gives an impression of you play.

Also if we are going to discuss specific topics, like BvB or SB play, it could be great if everyone looked at the others stats and then pick up a few topics from the other members that could improve their game. Theoretically atleast.

I believe that often we don't think about our own stats as everyone else does, and there might be hidded value in letting others pick what they think is a potential leak in ones plays and then discuss it.

In the spirit of what Isac's just said re topics I'd like to suggest a few from my reportoire and from what I've seen from others

1) SB opening and 3-betting ranges. My ASB from the SB recently has been mid 60's, which given the type of players I'm up against is most likely fine but could get me into trouble vs a thinking BB, however I defend my SB nowhere near as much as I think I should. Defending ranges and opponent types welcome.

2) Loosening ranges without losing control. Everyone loves to have 30/20+ stats but if you don't know how or why to do it and just start opening hands "bcaseue I want to play looser" this will do no help. Ideas on what players to attack and where we can shift ranges if necessary. Ideally a lot of range work here.

3) Overall Blind defense strategies. Where to defend and how? Should I 3-bet? If so what with? Who do I need to defend more against.

4) Aids. Are you making enough of HEM? Are you hand reviewing properly? Do you use Tiltblocker? Game selection, how do you do it? Do you have everything you need to make a video? These little things can make a big difference over time.

5) Sets. How do you hit them and win with them? And what's this running good thing?? I'm kidding I'm kidding.

6) Video Review: Pick a video from DC or a Member Vid you particularly liked and then have a group dicsussion on what we saw. What did you like? What did you not like? Open Forum, you wanna call me a fish for what I've done in a vid go for it.

7) HH review: Specific member either once or twice a month gathers say 10 hands of particular interest on a topic and members go through them.

Well those are just some very general suggestions to get us started. Personally I'm up for anything regarding Blind Defense so if there's something there you like let's agree and get together on Skype to discuss. I'll record it and then distribute it to everyone. I should be ready to go now. Flu's over.

BTW I'll try to record a vid either Friday night or Sunday UK time but no promises.

Cheers Guys

I sat in a .50/1 Full Ring game today, that was not full, and it went really well. Maybe ganking FR games is my true calling! ^.^

FR games are where I cut my teeth when it came to poker. They're a very good way to boost your BR if you're patient. I think Isac was kicking around the idea of making a vid of some FR play so that may interest you.

1) I feel lost playing this position so my default is to fold mare than I think I should. Unless the BB is uber tight, and then I open steal from him until the cows come home.

2) I think I play pretty tight so this would help a lot in the future.

3) Am I right to assume that Blind play is something one can and should work on all the time since it's the least profitable position? I probably fold too many hands that could be considered playable here, IMO.

4) I recently bought HEM and I'm still trying to figure out where everything is so this would help immensely. HH review is a big weak spot for me. I've never really done it.

5)umm, run good, run better! Request Boom switch "On" from your poker site,IMO

6) Can I pick which kind of fish you get to call me? I think once Boomer and Isac submit a vid we need to pick one for BBB to comment on.

7) This idea should help us out a lot. We may even get into a theory discussion from time to time during one of these.

Egad Boomer I shudder to think what comes from your noodle when at 100% health! This is a great foundation to improve our games!

OK
I've had a simple yet profound revelation. After my FR frolicking today, I put on LAGS On A Leash and even tho I had watched it before, it started to make a ton of sense. I don't have to be just a 6max player or just a HeadsUp player or just a FullRing player or just play one limit.... I can play all of them when/if the mood strikes and when/if the games are good! My new focus is to become skilled and versatile ^.^ Let us GoGoGo ^.^

PS I feel like such a maniac in FR, the poker gods are like STOP RAISING
I feel like a fox let into a chicken coop!

I piggyback off of someone elses post but here goes...

Apologies for the late response, as I was in the transition of moving.If the offer still stands I want to join. I'm on CST and available most weekday nights. I just signed up for skype under the same name.

Another thing is writing something about our poker history:



what stakes you play?

I play 3/6-5/10 6max on pokerstars.

what are your strengths and weaknesses?

Strengths: I feel like my hand reading ability is pretty good when I am focused. My style of play can cause players to tilt.

Weaknesses: I play too many tables sometimes and it can cause me to make a lot of mistakes. I get bored while playing. I need to work on my consistency. And I am results oriented.

how many hands you play?

More than 10k a month

what do you want out of this study group?

A peer group of players that aspire to play in the largest games on the net without stagnating at any limit in between

And now a few questions of my own....

Hey guys, FYI, I posted another video in the Members Section if anyone is intersted.

Hey rb2k, will watch you vid later today

I just published my first vid, 4 table FR $.5/1, hope you like it

http://www.deucescracked.com/forums/22-Member-Videos/topics/14777-First-video-4-table-FR-0-

I will comment on the last days posts when I get home tonight, see you.

Isac

I want to join but do not completely understand the aim for this group, so someone will have to tell me what is expected from me.

What stakes you play?
I basically play .25/.5 but will transfer some $ to stars and will probably play lower there (because of bankroll limitations). I think I'll also feel comfortable playing .5/1 when my bankroll would allow it.

What are your strengths and weaknesses?
I'm on the boards and will be having some coaching sessions to figure this out.
Strengths: Preflop play, positional play, isolation, dealing with loose and passive opponents.
Weaknesses: Postflop play, handreading, reading opponents, blindbattles, dealing with aggressive and better opponents.

How many hands you play?
Not enough by far. I try to put in 1 hour a day minimum and am currently one or two tabling. I have a job and family that take a lot of my time.

What do you want out of this study group?
Just share thoughts with people playing the same games and limits as I do. Have some laughs maybe, just interact.

Specific Aims for January
Learn, play better, play more.

Areas to work on
See weaknesses basically.
