Where do I need to improve

Hi ppl.
I will show you my stats and I would like to know where do I need to improve my game.I'm making big steps since membe of this forum and I would like to continue.I know that the stats is only for about 5k hands but I still need to know where I have some issues and what to do to eliminate or reduce the problem.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
I saved my stats in 2 pages .
Thanks
arty:

I'm not used to looking at stats in this form, but just a few quick things i *think* this report is saying. It looks like on chart 2 you are checking way too much after being the pre-flop raiser. It looks to me like you're only cbetting about 50% of your hands...IMO it should be higher than that.

Another thing I *think* the first page shows is that you're raising preflop 9.77% but you're playing over 18% of your hands. IMO your VPIP and PFR should be a little closer.

Your stat shows that you are a good poker player. Just change your style to passive aggressive

If you raise preflop, you should be C-Betting 75% or more after the flop
Heres a few links to threads on C-Betting

And I need to do it quite fast...:vroam:

I'm affraid I won't do that .I like to be aggressive/aggressive.Maybe in a deep stack tournament you can afford tight/aggressive .IMO

be more aggressive!! post flop and flop.

Try to be more aggressive post flop and flop. Maybe also to steal the blinds more often with any two cards in position vs. the big blind. Good luck getting better and winning in the future.

Yeah lead out. C-betting can do wonders for your game and your table image. Don't forget your image is very important when looking for long-term success.

Stix

One thing too is always lead out, and always bet at the flop. This has always work for me even when I don't hit the flop I still bet out to see where I am at the table

I think when you are going to play a hand you raise preflop. Looks like your biggest weakness. Everyone has plenty of weaknesses. Raise more preflop and
like everyone has said that means you'll be able to cbet the flop more and win moreoften

I could share my notes that I have on you.. with you.. but it'd only be from tourney-play & limited to the CC priv. tourneys (maybe only the freerolls?).

Might help a bit... if this is what ur interested in at all.

With ~25bb's (in our stack)... UTG limps on a bigstk... Here you want to typically raise here to ~ 3bb +1bb per each limper. In this hand though you're out of position sitting in SB so you 'typically' want to raise a bit more than you would if say you were raising from LP (on BTN). {when raising from out of pos. over limpers, you 'generally' want to raise 4bb +1bb for each limper}
I prob would've raised to ~750 though.. as I've got a big pr. and kinda want to induce action from UTG.
If Utg calls (& we have this same flop 8-5-4, there'll be ~1700(<?) in the pot now. I would lead out (as we've taken the initiative preflop... so it's expected of us to cbet here) for ~1,050 (if villain 'calls'.. pot will be ~3,800, and we will be left with a good-sized near POT shove for the turn... ie. 3,350 into 3,800).

Hope this ^ helps.

I'd be happy to comment on any other Hands you want to post & will try to expand upon the reasoning behind each action I'd take (or might take) thoughout.

Thank you for the hand analysis and sorry for the late answer.
Please allow me to explain what was I thinking and therefore acting as I did based on my "feeling" and reading.
So we have a new guy at the table ( he came 3-4 hands before) and I have "nothing " on him like how he plays etc.
He limps UTG so my first idea was that he's limping with pp( AA down to 22) or with two face cards or suited connectors. I made a min raise to see if he wants to stay in the pot or not.He flat calls. Ok I was trying to put him on a hand AA,KK, and he wants to trap or QQ,JJ,TT maybe 99 or 6,7 making him a straight. Flop comes 5,8,4 with two hearts. I raised 600 in a 1200 pot to eliminate the flush and/or the straight chasers and to see what he will do next.He flat calls.
Turn is comming:Jc and the pot is 2400. I lead out again with a 1600 bet to "eliminate the flush and/or straight chasers" and in the same time trying to put him on a hand. He flat calls again. I was thinking in that moment that he has one of the following hands AA,KK,QQ,JJ,TT,99 or he hit a set or a straight on the flop.I felt that if he hit a straight on the flop he would of reraised at one of my bets do to the flush possibility and that's why I went all in at the river when I hit my set.I was 99% sure that i have the best hand.Never even crossed my mind that he was just chasing a flush down to the river.A8 suited UTG.
Do you think that he would of play his hand different if I make the raise like you suggested? I think it was a moment like "what the heck I'm the big stack I can afford to lose some chips".
I'll post some more hands soon and waiting for some more suggestion.
Thank you again.

Totally missed this before.

Ugly hand, I should have folded turn but up to that point you were keeping it very cheap.

Yeah, I'd make a bigger raise preflop -- rather than trying to get information, I want to take the pot down, oop. On the flop, I'd make a bigger bet, again, to make it a bigger mistake to chase the flush. Maybe these are leaks for me, and I could be making more $ from those queens, but that is how I'd usually play it...

Never put players on a specific hand, think range. Also, AA KK is very rarely in anyone's limping range.
and he wants to trap or QQ,JJ,TT maybe 99 or 6,7 making him a straight.

Again, these ranges are unlikely, as majority of players will raise these hands. 67 is potentially in a limping range though. So is any combination of suited broadway ans suited Ax.

Flop comes 5,8,4 with two hearts. I raised 600 in a 1200 pot to eliminate the flush and/or the straight chasers

3-1 is not nearly enough to chase out any draws, even if they were paying attention to odds. Try 800-pot.

and to see what he will do next.He flat calls.
Turn is comming:Jc and the pot is 2400. I lead out again with a 1600 bet to "eliminate the flush and/or straight chasers" and in the same time trying to put him on a hand. He flat calls again. I was thinking in that moment that he has one of the following hands AA,KK,QQ,JJ,TT,99

Again, you bet too little to dissuade any chasers. Maybe the straight chasers would be folding, but anyone with the A or K high fd will stick around. You have put enough into the pot already at this point that if they do make their flush thay are most likely going to stack you anyways. Also, You could virtually eliminate all but 99-jj from the range you are thnking (which is skwed waaay to much to the top end btw) for the simple fact that you would have been re-raised at this point by AA, KK, and prssibly JJ. You are also beating 1010, 99 so you shouldn't worry too much about those hands anyways.

I think the problem you got yourself into in this hand was not just the bet sizing, but the failure to re-evaluate your opponents range and 'why' they were just smooth calling you. You got hung up on big PP's and missed the obvious.

or he hit a set or a straight on the flop.I felt that if he hit a straight on the flop he would of reraised at one of my bets do to the flush possibility and that's why I went all in at the river when I hit my set.I was 99% sure that i have the best hand.Never even crossed my mind that he was just chasing a flush down to the river.A8 suited UTG.

See last paragraph of above.

Do you think that he would of play his hand different if I make the raise like you suggested? I think it was a moment like "what the heck I'm the big stack I can afford to lose some chips".

No matter how big your stack is, you can never afford to lose chips. This is never a good attitude to take. You fought hard to gain those chips. Fight hard to keep them.

I'll post some more hands soon and waiting for some more suggestion.
Thank you again.

Overall, it's not like you played the hand that badly, but you did miss some fundamental and obvious signs about your opponents range and failed to adjust accordingly. It's ok though, we all do it.

Only answered because it involved me, thread is 6 months old lol.

You may like to be AG/AG but those stats don't show it.

Without changing what hands you play, just change how you play them. Think about this: If it is worth playing a (particular) hand, it is worth raising. Contend a few more times when the possibility of a steal is real. Not a lot more, just a few more times per 100 hands (few being 5 or less times per 100 hands).

VP looks fair, but AF seems a bit anemic. With the VP you could go either way, lower it or raise it into the 24ish range, but that will require a lot of self control. You could also lower it to the 13-16 range and have less thinking to do. 18 suggests you are not sure what it is you are doing, but not so foolish as to do it badly.

Ty for your answer and suggestions.I'll try to adjust better however I don't know why I have this feeling that even with bigger raise he would off play his hand as he played it due to his stack.Only my impression.

You're probably right. With that stack on that board it is very unlikely that villian is going to be folding. With that in mind, and knowing that he is calling you down anyways, when the flush does hit you can still check/fold the river.

Look at it this way: You upped it preflop (not enough in my opinion, but that's a moot point at this time), fired out at the flop and were called again. On that board (esp in a freeroll or micro) the likelyhood that you are being floated with bare overcards is prob 50/50. The likelyhood you are being called with some sort of drawing hand is much more likely. Next action you fire the turn. Again you're called. You gotta ask yourself "Why is this guy still calling?" Surely if he hit the J he woud at least call, maybe even raise. But you still can't discount the possibility of the draw. No obvious straight draw so it must be the flush draw. Now you hit your Q for the set on the river. Unfortunatly it is the Q that completes the flush draw, which is the strongest of the villians three possible hands (AJ, 67, AXh) and yet you shove anyways.

Throughout the hand you always gotta ask yourself "What is he calling with?"

I left 67 out of that analysis because it is likely that the villian would raise the turn for value, esp in the face of that J. (IMO)

Point I am trying to make is that when the obvious draw hit, you did not need to commit your whole stack blind. You had no idea whre you stood in the hand the whole way through (You admitted yourself that you thinought villian had KK/AA) yet you committed it all the way. And I feel that just was not necessary. Big hands do not always need to = big pots.

Still, in the end you really just got unlucky against a chaser, but as you learn to identify these scenarios better in the future you will not always lose your entire stack to them.

Damn, that was long-winded. I probably could have made the same point much shorter, but ah well....

hey tubur69 you can do that easily. play online poker game which is free from that you will get great experience and it will help to improve your skills for playing poker hands.
