so i know my graph is telling me theirs a big leak in my game but not sure what its saying.

also obviously with just under 2000 hands it will be slightly hard to tell but from the information here what does this scream to you ?

Details...i play 2NL, occationally take shots at 10NL and 5 so big dips are probably that.

be really nice to hear everyones take and i know i'm early in my poker life so not stressing to much about being called a fish
Thanks in advance

I am not an expert at this. I am more of a beginner. However, I am going to take a guess that you are overplaying hands that are not strong.

That would lead to many showdown losses. The only place you are winning is when everyone else folds to give you the pot.

What is your range? What is your bet size? When do you raise and how often?

Many of those factors are going to go into how other people act against you. Also if they see you are playing too many hands, they will know that many of them are weak.

I would take a look at what you are playing, what position you are in and how much you are raising.

Personally, I usually use a 3x-5x bet in 2NL. If the table is looser and raising more, sometimes I will do that, but you really want to try and focus on keeping the sizing within range of the table you are playing. A 15 cent preflop raise would be like a $0.75 raise at a 10NL table. That's just way too aggressive.

I would agree that it most likely says you are too aggressive with weak holdings, it clearly says you are not strong enough at showdown. Red line says you win most of you winnings when others fold, but struggle on the river.

A 2k hands cash game graph don't tell you anything, i had days when i played 3k in a day :/.
Try to play much more close to 100k and then look at it again, playing 2k hand and taking shots in those hands pretty much shows that you don't have enough discipline yet to even finish a single session.

I would disregard Gohaku94's comment. 100k hands is quite long losing streak. You learn massively during almost every hand you play when you are just starting out.

If you are a fish we can pinpoint you after one hand if it's wrongly enough played.

From your graph we can formulate a question: What is probability hero flops a great hand 2000 hands in a row & gets a cooler on the river.

I think it means that you may be to loose if you are losing that much at showdown. At the stakes you are playing, I think you may benefit from value betting more and bluffing less. Or if you have a hud- look at the villans and see which ones are better to bluff and which ones are better to value bet.

Agree with this, although 2k is pretty small number of played hands, it can still show you where your strategy is going, and what can you change. Playing 100k hands in a bad manner can make you lose tons of money, and I don't see a reason to risk it, when you can preemptively change your game style in the meantime.


As far as the graph goes, my best guess is that you are way to aggressive post flop, C-betting flops often and then barreling later streets regardless of making a hand or not.
Considering money won/lost when going all in, I would advise not to shove/call with speculative hands, especially in lower stakes, I don't think people are bluffing rivers likely, or even bluffing for their entire stack.

Also, if you are beginner, then the money you lost so far is not of a huge significance, just play a bit tighter when facing shoves, and you will be alright for starters.

GL at the tables :)

2000 hands is not enough for a detailed analysis, but you obviously lose a lot at showdan. This must be urgently corrected. Yes, and it is desirable to consider the graphs for each limit separately.

That's a ton of losing at Showdown so you're probably calling too lightly on the river etc. Or at least you're misevaluating your opponents hand range and are thinking that your hand is ahead of their range when its not
