hey people
:damnmate:
On using the HM or other trackers, I'll tell you how I proceeded and think, and this is not the absolute truth, much less am saying what is right or wrong.
I took almost two years playing poker and then decide to use the HM, not because they did not consider something useful, but because I did not feel prepared to use. When I say ready, it is not in the sense of knowing how to read the information he offers me, but in the sense of my evolution as a poker player. This involves the power of observation, the adoption of criteria for creating notes and make decisions.
My fear was not to have a minimum level of play to allow statistics to influence my decisions, and it is almost inevitable priate your game is not yet consolidated (even if u think you are).
It is very easy to "try" to justify its move by the guy was loose, or aggressive, or was giving very 3-bet and you turn on the autopilot based on tracker numbers and forget several other essentials you should dominate but still not mastered enough to avoid this influence as reading the opponent, bet size, board texture, etc. So no tracker will give you, and if you do not have it developed, the tracker will only slow you to learn.
It's kind of learn to drive in an automatic car, you will think and say you know how to drive, but actually does not know and did not have the opportunity to learn 100% to drive and when I give you a normal car, you though "know "driving, do not even know how to engage the first gear.
I know many professional players who do not use any kind of tracker and have excellent results, others installed and then uninstalled and others who typically use every day.
What I think you need to consider is to what extent this can accommodate me with the studies and basic skills I need to develop to be a good player and to what extent I am already able to use.
Poker is already a very difficult game to be mastered and you already trying to master something that "I" also find it difficult to interpret the figures is that the tracker provide. In fact it is a matter of a long course too.
I took one my father exams these days and there were a lot of acronyms and numbers and percentages ... and I was looking at it with that face landscape ... without understanding much. Someone has spent years studying to know that the particular enzyme% in blood mean something, the numbers are there and I did not study that I have no idea what they mean.
The same applies to the numbers of trackers .... ahhhh .. I jammed my hand to the guy who gave raise pre flop utg + 1 because he was "loose" it had 25% VPIP. But that it is served during the hand you failed to realize that this high rate of VPIP is because the guy is a lot of call pre-flop raises, long advocated the blinds and likes to limp in the hands? That is, you did not realize that hand in particular he opened utg + 1 raise (which is not how it got that% of VPIP), then he made value bets, or although you have the second pair of the table, the flop had many draws and the way the guy played showed that he did have a strong hand.
summing up: It is not because the numbers are there that they will help you with something, or even slow you down for making their reasoning settle in the development of the play.
Well ... as always I and my giant posts right, but I tried to spend as happened to me and what I think the use of trackers, and returning to what I said at the beginning, and did not know if I'm right or wrong, no one has to agree thereby.
Hug for everyone!
