Lytning's official thread. Moving to online cash.

[white_lytning]

For some of you that have been helping me out. Thanks.

I'm making this thread to keep my information and suggestions more organized. I have been trying to increase my online play. I have started with about $50 in a ps account and have been trying to move up in small stakes cash games. Some of you have been helping me out, my other threads are:

My poker background is a 2/5 cash game regular at the local card room. I have never played online seriously until the beginning of September. I started with the .01/.02nl cash. I have moved up to .02/.05 and am close to moving to .05/.10. I just bought a new wide screen monitor and am multi tabling 6 tables at a time. I can only multi when they are tiled. I like paying attention to all the tables at the same time. I have a lot of data that I have been using to get ideas about fixing the holes in my game. And naturally have a few questions. I like picking your brains to figure out what other people are doing that have more experience playing online.

I have about 13,000 hands played so far and am seeing some patterns I don't like.

First: In a previous post I brought up hand selection based on position. My position numbers look 10x better than they did at first. I am playing a ton less hands in the small blinds and a greater number from later position.

The problem is in the hands that I'm losing with. Overall I'm in the red with hands that I feel I should be playing with a positive ev. Hands like AQ, j10, 66s-88s, 54, 67, 89, 910.

I'm not happy that those hands are my biggest losers. Now, it could be because of the small amount of hands, (been running pretty bad as of late, KK has lost to AA 4 of the last 5 times iv had them) one or two big pots lost will skew the numbers but i'm still not happy with it.

I admit that AQ is a bad hand, and I have been over playing it. I'm more concerned with the suited connectors. I don't play them out of position and I'm still losing with them. I will raise 3 or 4 bbs usually, and then c bet maybe 2/3 times. I also like the re-raise with those connectors depending on the player i'm against.

Medium pairs I will usually raise in the last two seats, or just limp otherwise. I try to set mine with them and rarely fold them when out of position. My problem is that I'm hitting sets a low percentage of the time, (much lower than I should its about 1/12 the past 3,000 hands). And not getting paid off when I do hit them. Do any of you like calling bigger pots with these kinds of hands? I don't like doing it, but have heard someone say that those are the pots you want to try to mine. If you hit you will get paid usually. I just don't like the fact that I might be up against a better pair.


Any help is appreciated.

Position Stats:

I think I have done a pretty good job fixing my positional stats. Any thoughts are appreciated.

Here are some of the losing hands. I sprayed the hands I feel shouldn't be losers with a little red dot.

Same thing here. Any ideas are appreciated.
