it was a frustrating month in the main, spending most of it in the hole, which was a result of having a few failed shots at 25/50, and running like death at my normal stakes. i thought another losing month was on the cards with a week to go, but fortunately managed to turn it around in the last few days. im pretty chuffed with the end result all things considered.
Oh and i decided not play wcoop after the first few days as it was just way too late time wise. i cashed in the w$ and plan to play northern lights at blackpool instead
hands - 97876

For what its worth..........
I would agree with you that the SB figure is way above your normal stat, based on previous postings. So you have identified the problem, fix it!!
6 October 2009 09:12
not too shabby!
fwiw
i was opening 40% in the SB ffs - that's a huge leak. how does 25% sound?
6 October 2009 10:34
yo chaps, i realise my sb vpip is way high, but whats your sb loss rate please.
is 18bbs a leak?
6 October 2009 23:36
-18 sb, -32 in bb isnt that bad really. My sb is -31 at 0.5/1
Just looking at the raw figures, or how I see it and I could well be wrong, is that mid to late the agressive plays increase. Blinds too much flat calling. If I was playing you I would be raising your blind raises, blind calls. But I guess this it is what is happening anyway? I aint no expert, far from it, but it just how I intrepret the stats.

Clarkatroid you worry way to much about a particular stat instead of playing according to who is in the big blind. I thought i looked too much into stats....
12 October 2009 06:43
fair comment, but i think i can reduce 2bbs of losses from the small blind by tightening up a touch. Thats got to be an advantageous exercise
12 October 2009 14:28
nice graph. question: is this mainly 100bb, CAP games or a mixture? thanks!
12 October 2009 14:35
SB -20.36 bb/100.
SB vpip of 19.66
over all @ 3.92 bb/100
75k hands only
12 October 2009 15:03
So far this month....
I am 6.69bb/100 from SB with a VPIP/PFR of 58.9/53.6 @ 5/10 cap
I am -5.25bb/100 from SB with a VPIP/PFR of 38.5/28.7 @ 10/20 cap
So according to this i should loosen up from the SB at 10/20 cap... but i don't.... Because of the caliber of player I have to deal with. Everything depends on who you are playing. At 10/20 cap I often have someone like Willb77, Googly or Jimmie23 in my BB...
12 October 2009 15:25
thanks geronimo. your stats further confirm my suspicions m8. its a mixture of cap and 100bb poker.
Paperempire, we play different syles, and have different opinions on strategy, but i dont think its to either persons advantage to discuss this any further, for obvious reasons.
12 October 2009 15:33
hey clarkatroid, thanks for answering my question.
Here's another one if you don't mind...Do you find that you have similar styles/stats @ CAP and 100bb?
I find myself being much looser at 100bb, playing 25/21 ish and playing closer to 18/16 @ CAP.
12 October 2009 17:24
very similar vpip pfr/3 bet/agg @23/19/6/3 , with the only diff being a higher squeeze %

Hi there clarkatroid, congrats on your success. I have one off the topic question: you've said in one of your videos that you only played 2-3h sessions. May i ask how many sessions do you play per day?
Thanks, Alex.
