Post your stats, get some help, and win Leakbuster!

WVHillbilly · Dec 22, 2012

Just a little contest thanks to our friends at Leak Buster. All you have to do is take a screen shot of your cash game stats in PT3/PT4 or HEM/HEM2 and post them here. Nice and simple.

John Anhalt (Poker Zion Founder/ Leak Buster Designer) or one of his guys will check in on the thread from time to time and comment on the stats posted. On January 20th, we'll select a random winner from all those who posted eligible screen shots. Stats by position will likely generate the best comments but if your sample size is small overall stats might be better. Anyone is free to comment on the stats posted of course and helping people improve is always the goal.

Answers to questions that are bound to come up:

Q: But I don't have stats to post because I don't own PT/HEM, how do I win?
A: You don't. Leak Buster is designed to work with these software packages, so if you don't have one of them it won't benefit you.

Q: I'm a tourney player, can I win?
A: Nope. Leak Buster is for cash gamers only. Sorry about you luck and your poor choice of game!

Hehe... nice Q&A in that post.

I'm going to try and provide a ton of useful info. I do have the benefit of having seen tons and tons of statistical models in NL, PLO, and Limit. The goal with Leak Buster software is to get you aware of spots that commonly unprofitable, and let you know when you're flirting with some areas of your game that can lead to missed EV.

FYI, Leak buster has built in ways to export screen shots. In each step there's a little export icon (see below). This will grab your stats, and put a screen shot link in your read buffer. So all you need to do is paste (right click + paste) or (ctrl+v) into a forum post and wha la...

Also, steps 2/3 of Leak Buster are neat. Stat ranges are important and useful tools that you can use to let you know if you're likely doing something that is unprofitable long term. HOWEVER, the other steps can provide a lot more useful post flop analysis that you can use to really delve deeper into your game. Those are the areas that can be super helpful. But anything you think you want help/comments on, please post.

I guess I'll start off. Filtered for 4NL 6-max. (have taken a couple disasterously bad shots at 10NL). Just recently got back in to poker after quitting when Black Friday hit. I was a beating 25NL and 50NL on stars for a fair clip before then. Apparently it's not like riding a bike. Feel I'm playing ok, but a lot of room for improvement. Obv. I'm going to SD too much. Need to 3-bet more from the BTN. Could probably find more spots to steal from the CO.

Thanks for the opportunity.

I would love to use this software fully with PT4 (I have the trial version). I really want to know how to improve my game.

GWU73 · Dec 22, 2012

Here are my stats on Carbon since I started the Micros again about a week ago.I feel like I have been running a little bad, but it has not been terrible. I really cannot wait to get some feedback, despite the small sample size.

seqas · Dec 22, 2012

holy :O that is awesome!!! do i just need to post my stats and no else or?

e:
which is best to show with hm2 or pt4?

orangepeeleo · Dec 23, 2012

Here are my stats for 10nl FR, I'm back playing there now and it seems to be my bogey stake! 10nlRBPro4L!!

I've got like 200k+ hands across the stakes so leakbuster would be a HUGE help for me

JCgrind · Dec 23, 2012

Well mostly because I just made the thread yesterday.

You'll have 60k hands in by next week anyway.

Logan2 · Dec 23, 2012

This are my stats from 2nl to10nl FR (24k+41k+12khands by stake) have the same stats on each stake, i do ok on 2nl until enough to move up to 5nl, need 2 to different shots to finally adapt and stay on 5nl, when BR let me try a shot to 10nl and don´t work, move down to 5nl get BR back and make a 2nd try on 10nl but now mixing 5nl/10nl to try decrease variance and i´m BE after 12k hands on 10nl, still doing fine on 5nl but for 10nl don´t think this stats work.

Goathair · Dec 23, 2012

Good idea for a contest. Unfortunately i already own Leakbuster for both PT3/PT4 and HM2. but i'll be checking out the stats, and may post mine as well just to get some feedback.

It's not showing all of your major leaks in step 2. Do you have the most recent version? Hard to give a lot of advice without seeing this. Perhaps also just put the Leak Buster all stats report from HM2.

It's not huge, but re-popping from the BB will help increase winrate a bit. Just don't over do it at these stakes, and make sure you're focusing on opponents who can fold when you're doing it lighter. Use hands that have good showdown value when you 3-bet light since you'll be getting to showdown much easier at these stakes. Hands like Q7s, A3o, K8o, etc...

Yes, you should be 3-betting a bit more from the button. Against some opponents at these stakes, you can make smaller 3-bets in position to isolate w/ non polarized ranges that have good value against your opponents 3-bet calling range like: AJo, KJs, KQo,QJs, etc... With hands like these you can keep weak regs that open a decent amount in the pot with dominated hands and suited connectors, while taking initiative and forcing them to play a bigger pot out of position against you.

Hi, well obviously you're playing super tight. If that's what you're most comfortable with, then it's fine to play a tighter game, but also know that you're missing a lot of value by not opening up your game at least a little more. Also, for being so tight, your WTSD is super low. If you're primarily opening higher value hands then you should be getting to SD at a higher rate and winning more when you do. So you're folding a little too much, but your opponents will fold a little more against you, but not this much.

You need to open up your 3-betting a bit, especially in position. Your blind play has a lots of holes, but can't quit tell exactly what just based on those stats. But I'd focus no your BB play first since that's the largest gaping whole at the moment. You're going to have to mix in more 3-betting and cold calling to mend this out.

Cafeman · Dec 24, 2012

Hey John (or anyone else) I used to play 50 and was taking shots at 100 before I moved house and took effectively 4 months off. Kinda started back up this month and playing 25NL 6max, just until I'm comfy and my poker muscles have regained their strength.

Now, I can see I'm winning and it's a small sample (before the brag/lolsamplesize brigade chime in) but I was wondering if a) running leak buster on such a small sample is worth it (I already bought it so I'm not looking to win it) and b) whether I should just move up again and quit posting my stats already!

PS finding 25NL super soft, maybe the break did me some good.

LD1977 · Dec 24, 2012

Here are my stats (0.01-0.02 NLHE), very small sample so the numbers are very unrealistic except for the button abuse, I actually do it on purpose

I probably get involved in WAY too many SB pots, normally when people limp I pay the half bet with ATC just to see if I get lucky... bleeding money for sure. Otherwise I am trying to eliminate limping altogether except in very rare cases.

Ty for reply...
So I need to be calling and 3 betting more from the BB? I always try to fold in the BB, hands as high as A/J as I don't want to play OOP. Is that too tight?

ludde2009 · Dec 24, 2012

Playing zoom and mixing 2nl and 5nl, mostly 5nl.
