lenmccart 0 Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 WHAT'S UP.I just wanted to update you on what has been going on the past couple days at the poker table for me.#1 - I downloaded the trial version of Pokertracker (as was reccomended to me). Holy crap. This program is awesome. I am somewhat of a stats junkie, so this is sweet. I've only got about 400 hands on it so far though. I figure my real poker "career" starts now...after talking to you guys, and reading SSHE and using poker tracker. So far so good as I am up 17BB/hr. Which sounds really impressive until you realize that It is the $25 NL table at Party. Also, I know thats not a sustainable rate...but maybe it's not too high for the levels I am playing. I will be purchasing Pokertracker shortly.I feel so much better about my game now, looking at my stats shows that I don't raise enough PF (8%). It also says I play WAY too many hands...but its skewed a bit because I played 6-max yesterday. All in all, I feel really good and I am looking forward to playing this game (gotta start at the micro limits I guess) until I feel confident to move up.I will continue to post hands and read the strat boards of course, and I really appreciate all the help everyone has given me.I do have 3 questions though:(1). Would playing the SSHE starting hands very strictly be a good idea for me (assuming full ring game)(2). Is there a webpage, or thread, that says what ideal poker tracker stats are?(3). Am I allowed to ejaculate to the thought of playing with Poker Tracker stats?er....I've said too much.Thanks everyone,Len Link to post Share on other sites
Actuary 3 Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 SSHE is for LHE.Are you going to be playing NL only? Link to post Share on other sites
lenmccart 0 Posted October 28, 2005 Author Share Posted October 28, 2005 SSHE is for LHE.Are you going to be playing NL only?hmmm...No I won't be playing NL only, but i do seem to play it more than I play LHE.Are the starting hand requirements different for NL? I've read SS once, but I didn't really get a lot out of the NL section...it seemed like it would apply to stakes higher than what I am playing. Maybe I'm wrong though.I will be picking up a copy of SS2 today to re-read it though.What is reccomended reading for NL? Link to post Share on other sites
Actuary 3 Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 hmmm...No I won't be playing NL only, but i do seem to play it more than I play LHE.Are the starting hand requirements different for NL?I think in NL, "requirements" is even vaguer than Limit. Depends on your style, stacks, table image ( uh..that one is inconsequential unless you are an extreme Maniac..imo..at least at low stakes I play).Certainly the SSHE list is not a disastrous start..but pos and visibilty are more important. I think KJ off for example sux in NL but ok in Limit.As you can see, I'm no expert in either game.lol.What is reccomended reading for NL?I hear "Geting Started in Hold'em" has a good section for NL..plus it's a great precursor to SSHE for LHE. I have itr..was good for 1st LHE book. Link to post Share on other sites
