Winrate and stats at the small stakes
So about a week ago I started grinding my way up the .01/.02 tables for the first time. Usually I just play sit n gos but I really wanted to give cash games a try. This is my first time using any sort of analysis software to try to better my own play and I was wondering what sort of win rate could be expected at the smallest levels.
I've only played 2339 hands, but that's a ton more than I used to play weekly and it made me realize how much of a casual player I really am even though I enjoy the game so much. Anyway I have a win rate of 53.77/100 big blinds and an hourly rate of 2.00$ (I usually four table) {thirteen tabling would be minimum wage haha} I just have no idea as to what is the norm at this level and was just wondering if this is about par. I really don't want to get hung up on the results so much though, so what statistics should I be looking at to find flaws in my game, and is my sample size even large enough to bother with yet? Again, I'm just looking to better my game and although the software has already made me think a bit more about my decisions, I know it is capable of so much more. |

Alright, I thought it was high but I didn't know if it was high for .01/.02 because there are so many fish there. I was really liking this though because it meant I win a little more than a small blind every hand. Hell if that continued I'd love to play the highest stakes :P
And to answer HustLa download Hold em manager from their site and give it a try. It's free for the first two weeks and up to a few thousand hands (can't remember exactly how many) Alright I'll try to dig up some questionable hands that I want back... I know there's one with aces a while back. And one more question, What should the stats VPIP/PFR/W$SD roughly be at? I play full ring if that helps. And just to give you guys something to look at from me, my stats with no filters are.. VPIP: 27.0% PFR: 9.3% W$SD: 54.1 |

I'd try to cut back on limping a bit, and maybe raise a few more hands. I'd think optimal stats for 2$ NL would be like VPIP = 22, PFR = 12 or so. You want to be raising hands where you have a big edge preflop. AK is a 63/37 favorite over stuff like JTos. We want to exploit that advantage, so raise those hands preflop. Stuff like QJ is less of a favorite, so there's less reason to raise it (or even play it at this level). Then, because players won't hesitate to stack off with just top pair (or middle pair for that matter), you should be limping a fair amount of implied odds hands, especially in late position where its easier to build a big pot. So stuff like 22/A2s/K5s/57s. Those hands can make flushes, sets, and straights, and if we can get in cheaply and stack some idiots who want to play top pair like its the nuts in a limped pot, that'd be great. |

Alright I see what your saying, And I should also point out my average players at the table is 7.0 so its not quite always filled up.
But I also do limp alot mostly with mid/low pocket pairs and hope they hit but also occasionally a-x suited k-x suited if i feel the raiser is loose and will really pay me off when I hit my flush Some cards I limp with that might not be so good are unsuited connectors like 6-7os through q-j os Is my my W$SD about right or should I do something to change that too? |
