Sooo, I've tried a hud for once and must say it might well of improved my game!

Ok, yes it's another thread by me. I'm beginning to get bored of them too but just wanted to share my somewhat happy moments in the cash games I'm currently getting.

Ok, so my hand sample size is so low but I don't care at this point. It was more of a trial process of using a HUD.

I decided I was going to put a HUD into practise properly this time, thus meaning I had to drop the tables. I've tried them before but last about 10minutes and got annoyed at all the stats and not being able to put them to use properly. I used to play 10-20 cash tables at 2nl/5nl without a HUD.

I have now dropped to 4 tables at the minute, with a HUD. Now, this could actually be because I should of been playing a lower amount of tables to start with and it actually ISNT the hud that has improved my game but anyhow here are my results so far.

Would like you to check over my stats see if they are good/bad/average and where I need improving.

I've realised how important the HUD has become in knowing who are the ones to raise and try steal from and which ones I should be folding to who I might of called a raise with previously with my A,J for example. Just one quick glance and see someone playing 5-10% of their hands after being dealth 140+ hands is bloody useful!

Love the 40-50% hand players and often get sooo much money of them I'm really loving the hud. Problem I'm finding is it's hard to look more at different things in the HUD whilst checking odds and so on meaning I think I'd struggle to play more than 6 tables at prescent but I've noticed I'm still profiting and maybe even more so with a better BB rate.

So, I'm showing 12BB/s over a small sample but feel so much more comfortable in knowing who I'm playing and ok so I played for abo 3.5hours and around 1200 in my one session at 5nl/10nl but profited $29.00. Not bad ? Obviously this would be outstanding if I could continue such a good rate but I don't expect to obviously just thought I'd share something postive for once lol.

Public Service Announcement: Stop looking at your stats.

[x] results from cutting down the number of tables.

hehe cheers buddy.

Very true I agree with it!

And because you were pretty level headed to my reply, I'll give you some quick advice.

To me, the only numbers that really jump out to me about your stats are two things:

1) Your fold to 3-bet percentage is a shade on the low side. 3-bets at this level are usually the nuts, and you should be folding often.

2) Your steal percentage is low.

So here's your homework assignment. Go through the last session you played. Find a hand where you didn't fold against a 3-bet that you thought might be borderline, and post it in the hand analysis forum. Do the same thing in a spot where you thought about stealing preflop, but didn't (or where you did steal preflop, but you thought you might be wrong).

This exercise will help you actually improve in those areas.
