Are my poker stats good? bad? or in-between

#1 6th April 2009, 7:20 PM

Hey guys, this is my first post here of many I hope!

I've been playing on Absolute Poker and although the stat's aren't very extensive, and it's just under 5k hands played, I was hoping if one could give me an insight into what I should change to become a more profitable poker player.

Flops Seen: 38%
Win % If Flop Seen: 45%

Your Actions
Fold: 42.8%
Check: 16.40%
Call: 23.9%
Bet: 9.06%
Raise: 6.16%
Re-Raise: 2.01%

Where You Fold
Pre-Flop: 61.02%
Flop: 10.65%
Turn: 3.70%
River: 2.04%
No Fold: 22.58%

Now, I'm fully aware that these stats may be too small of a sample size to draw a conclusion from. Also, I am aware I may be bombarded with remarks on my being a bad player. That's fine, just make it constructive so I can learn from it.

What should I be aiming for? I appreciate your input guys.

Thanks

i can't say i know much but from what I see you're not bad. Definitely room for improvement.

If AP has the same stats as UB (street by street) then...
you could break it down to preflop called, raised+reraised, and then postflop bet+raise, and calls then we can get some of the basic stats people are used to seeing...also rivers seen, river fold%, total hands and showdown win %.

vpip/pfr/af are the basic stats ppl use in tracking programs.

voluntarily put $ in pot will be calls+raises+reraises (or close enough)
preflop raise + reraises
aggression frequency will be bets + raises divided by calls.

then we can get WTSD%...

Just by these percentages you seem like you are a loose passive player. Typically a Check/Call player. What are your starting hand requirements?

I tend to stick to Group 1 and Group 2 hands 90% of the time. Also seems like you might be the chasing type a weak suited Ace and suited connectors will get you in trouble and be alot less profitable in the long run.

I think we will need to know what game you are playing (Limit Hold Em, NL Hold Em?), what type of game (Ring, MTT?), and what type of tables (6-handed, 10-handed?) for us to give any meaningful analysis.

I see 31% of flops and win 50% of the time.

In general I would take this to mean I win more money, since I put less money into the pots and win more of the ones i'm in. I'm a very tight player to start and I play the other players after I get a feel for how they play. for the most part I play really tight and don't take chances until I make it to the money for tournaments then I loosen up a bit.

Works for me although I basically just play for fun and at the lower end tables where the skill is probably not the best anyway.

I probably make it to the money in 60% of the tourneys I play in. I would like to see that stat, maybe I should start keeping track?

If these stats are for 9 player sngs and or small mtts I read the following:

Your Vpip is around 39% which is somewhat loose.
Your winrate of 45% when flop seen together with the high VPIP indicates that either you give up too fast against aggression or bring TPWK (Top pair -weak kicker) , mid/bottom pairs hands to showdown too often (imo).
Playing LAG (loose/aggressive) / LPA (loose/passive) is perfectly ok but is much harder to master than TAG.
As said - connectors, suited hole cards, A-rags, Ax suited, small PPs can hurt your winrate if you play them in every spot especially EP.

Just my opinion - good luck and keep us posted.

Seeing 31% of flops does not fit together with being tight afaik.

Win rate vs. flops seen seems ok.

I doubt you're ITM 60% - either you're in GOD-mode or your sample size is small.

you should be alease 25% pre-flop...or just below 30%. it's saying that you do start out with good hands but fold when you don'thit the flop. Re-look at your starting hands 45% win with the flop is still not abad number but it can be better
