Shout out to Cafeman

Now it's too big. Do you have Windows Vista or later? If you do, there's a handy little "Snipping Tool" that makes screenshots so much easier.

Geez Tammy, you are pretty high maintenance, lol

Heehee! I hope Aces knows I'm just messing with him. But totally serious about the Snipping Tool. It works great!

What is this post for? haha why is everyone shouting for cafeman?

Ok this is 100% to help, not meant as a jab or insult in any way.

Your stats are terrible!!!

Your Average stats:

Vpip=28/ PFR=6 This is very very bad.

You NEED to do some serious beginner reading, here is a link for a starting place:

No not KD it's my account im not giving out my username or what site.

one day when i make it to the top i will mention who i am and thank this site.

From these stats, I see your Vpip is very different from PFR, they should be about the same, so you are limping into pots a lot, where you should mostly be raising if you are going to play. Also need to tighten up in EP/MP/SB a lot I'd say, just cut off half your range in these positions. Umm raise more on button and CO...and good luck

Thanks slowhand appreciate it.

oh and the graph looks like from 800 hands to 1700 you played quite solid, then what you had a big brain fart for the next 1000 or something?

Yep raise and stop limping! start from the basics and work from there. Just play ABC poker at the micros and you will make money.

Thanks but you don't need to worry about insulting or jabbing me .. If people go too far it just means they are insecure about their own game...

But i've put my stats here not because i'm a great player but it's because i'm calling out for help

Yes it's in me to be solid... but i have to control when things go bad or when the cards dry up to control the damage so when i'm running hot again i've lost minimum and ready to go again.

Yeah just remember every dollar you don't loose is a dollar you've won! Or something like that...

Late to my own party!

Are you limping, or just calling open raises a lot? Either way, tighten up a bit on the calling front. Now, why aren't you opening for a raise very often? If you see a hand you like, open it up. Are you playing 2NL? Got AJs in MP? Make it at least 6c. You get me?

The sample size is too small to say anything much about winning at showdown, but it does look a little low, which might mean you're not folding when you're beat enough. But really, too small a sample to say.

So, open those hands up, make a cbet, keep betting when you have top pair, that sorta thing. At this stage it's all about value betting = making a bet that someone will call (or raise, but usually call) with a worse hand. Don't be scared, put some money in when you have a hand.

Have you posted any hands in the HA section (http://www.cardschat.com/f50/)? If not, get busy there, posting hands and also considering your responses to other hands that have been posted.

^This and please make sure you post hands. This will help a ton with understanding good decisions. Remember we have to have a reason for every action/play we make.

After that we get into good logic vs. poor logic.

Lots a good ppl here that are happy to help especially when you have a want to learn attitude which is really refreshing btw!

Ive been limping in with medium to low pockets..... and Ax Kx hands so when i do hit those miracle hands i'll have plenty of value and not all will fold.

i'm still trying to play 6 tables, perhaps the downward spiral started when i went 6 tables... just trying to toughen my limits... I think i need to stick to 4

i read up somewhere u should limp in with pockets cause when u raise ur pushing out value how true is this?
