I have been playing for a number of years and lost over $9,000 on pokerstars from poor/ non existant bankroll management, an addictive personality, heads up arrogance and a thirst for quick money! Over the past few months i have been grinding my way from a $40 deposit, through the microstakes cash full rings. Obviously i began on the 0.01/0.02 tables playing 9 tables at a time to increase my hourly winrate and 50,000 hands later my bankroll is sitting on $600. I use a 50 buy in buffer to dictate my stake level and have also started to implement a 2 buy in loss mititgation strategy (that is when i lose 2 buy ins i drop stakes until i have climbed back up at which time i will move up again). Along my journey i have had 2 significant tilt periods. i just couldnt hit a hand and my loss mititgation was slow and the gambler in me came back. my most recent of which was a $200 buy in (50% risk) at the $1/$2 tables whereby i was lucky to hit a set of JJ on a flop of AKJ against a AK suited with which i shoved all in pre flop at the mercy of the poker gods! this luck shot my bankroll in excess of $600 and was a breath of fresh air in a slow grind! Obviously i dont have the kind of dicipline yet to move from the microstakes but lately have been playing solid poker! or what i percieve to be solid poker. What i need from the world is a fresh perspective on my stats if it is possible. i will post my hand data and my bankroll chart and if you can please help me find leaks i would really appreciate it! :cheers:

I don't understand, it says -2.50 bb/100 yet won 0.91$/100 (both All Time).

i guess that has alot to do with the two lucky wins i have had at higher stakes where i have only played a few hands..... the negative return for all time is including the first 15,000 hands where i was playing like a fish and the bankroll has an obvious rapid decline.... still fighting to bring my average return up!

Yes but those 2 stats should be the same thing just presented differently.

Wtf are those huge leaps on your graph, you got bored of 2nl one day and jumped on a 200nl table?

Stats are hard to read and better if you can post positional stats. You're playing 18/10 (vpip/pfr) by the looks of it suggesting you are cold calling or limping too much preflop.

so i have redone the stats to include the positional stats.... i have also ommitted the first 15,000 hands which were really during my donk phase and are skewing the data! i hope it is more clear now!

Tighten your range and call fewer hands (don't limp if you are currently). Tighten up the most from the SB where you're currently losing more than if you just folded every hand AND your vpip/pfr is the same as it is on the button! Learn to use position more. cbet the flop a LOT more. Get that number up to 65% or more. That will help to raise you overall aggression numbers which are a bit low.

thnx hillbilly!! really good advice which i am putting into action immediately

Ive started to tighten my range a lot decreasing my VPIP to 13% the last few days. I am also by default just letting go of small blind hands unless they are really premium (i guess i feel into the trap of thinking that if i was first to act in SB i would always raise 3X.... what i didnt really appreciate was that when the flop came out i was out of position all the time no matter what). I have been increasing my cont bet % and am currently on 80% maybe a little too high?? in making sure im mostly in late position the continue bets are giving me alot of equity from hands i would have checked and lost on the turn quite frequently. Otherwise if i am not in position i am playing my flops at about 40% or less with top pair or for value bets to establish some pot control.

The high VPIP was a direct result of my obsession in exploiting regulars with low pocket pairs.... even in early positions i would limp in for the occasional set on the flop. Its hard to get chips out of these guys because they play so few hands and when they do play you know they are usually holding an AK AQ KK etc.... so when the Ace comes out and you have hit your 333 it can be one of the very few ways to actually stack up on these guys.... however the advice of a number of books and forums is that these low pocket pairs or mid pocket pairs hit so infrequently that the chips you lose from limping and the chips you lose when somebody hits a higher set makes them not worthwhile.... what are peoples thoughts on this? right now to get my VPIP down i am only playing these pocket pairs in late position when there is a multiway pot and thus value on the board!

I think you're pretty safe to fold say 22-77 from UTG/UTG+1 after that I'd say open all pairs and once you're a bit more confident in your hand reading you can probably readd even those but they're just never going to be huge money makers from EP. Think of the SB like UTG and play basically the same range in limped or opened pots. If it's folded to you in the SB you can open it up a bit but really it depends more on who is in the BB than your hand. Against the nits you can min raise any 2 cards and against the crazies who are going to 3bet a lot and play back a lot tightening up to an tight MP range is probably best.

No. A blind is worth a different amount of money at higher stakes than it is at lower stakes.

If you play 100 hands at 5NL and lose 10 blinds, then play 100 hands at 50NL and win 2 blinds, you'll be -4bb/100 and 25 cents in the green (per 100 hands).

Can't comment on the OP's stats without squinting really hard but it looks like he's already been helped.
