200NL

Can't say with certainty but the swonginess of your 200 NL graph makes it look like you get into a ton of marginal situations that greatly increase your variance.

It looks like higher rating is good but it always looks like the ratings are worthless and mean nothing as they appear highly inaccurate.

higher rating= goodie guy is a 2. xpost from some table ratings guy on ftp regs thread:This feature is currently in beta and as such the formula is subject to being changed. The exact formula is proprietary, however we say that it takes many factors into account such as career/recent win rates, career/recent hands played, and winnings. The rating can change very often, even daily, based on the play habits and winnings of the player.

I play on my Mac laptop, so I don't use a HUD. This is how my buddy's HUD is set up for HU play:The red stats are ones that we thought were especially important. The blue ones are all for 3bet pots.

Tbh if you're playing $50nl I don't think you need half as many stats as that. Not because it's easier, but because the player pool is so huge that you never get enough hands with people to make the rarer stats mean anything.

Agreed. Not only that, if you have a small sample size, you can use incomplete stats to come to faulty conclusions. "OMG HE 3BETS ME 50% OF THE TIME, 4BET BLUFF!" Meanwhile, you've played eight hands and he's 3bet you twice (but folded QQ once to your standard open because he's just that nitty). That's why I play HUDless (although, it's actually because I'm too lazy to open Windows).That said, it certainly doesn't hurt to have access to stats on your HUD, even if you don't need them since you have plenty of room on the table with only two players.

This is the graph of my opponent for the night. The hand histories are awesome and horrible and traumatizing.

Okay, against this gentleman, he bought in for 300 after dropping about 400 to me earlier. We played an 800 dollar pot all in on the A74 flop where his A8 > A7. We played a 900 dollar pot where his QQ > A3hh after I raised his cbet in a 3bet pot and turned a straight + flush draw and shoved. We played an 1800 dollar pot where his QQ > 73dd on a 732 flop. At various points in this match, I was his TR best friend by a long shot.This is now my biggest profit hand, although it's only slightly bigger than my second biggest profit hand which was at 200NL, so BB-wise, it's not close.Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $4.00 BB (2 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.comHero (SB) ($1071.60)Button ($1361.55)Preflop: Hero is SB with K, KButton raises to $12, Hero raises to $44, Button calls $32Flop: ($88) 7, 4, 3(2 players)Hero bets $51, Button calls $51Turn: ($190) Q(2 players)Hero checks, Button bets $133, Hero raises to $345, Button calls $212River: ($880) 5(2 players)Hero bets $631.60 (All-In), Button calls $631.60Total pot: $2143.20 | Rake: $0.50Results:Button had Q, A (one pair, Queens).Hero had K, K (one pair, Kings).Outcome: Hero won $2142.70

Should be interesting:Starting on February 16th and running for six consecutive nights, Cole South, David Benefield, and Taylor Caby will face off against seasoned vets Doyle Brunson, Eli Elezra, and Gabe Kaplan on NBC's Poker After Dark. Rather than the typical $20,000 buyin sit-n-go format, they will be playing a $200/$400 NLHE cash game with a $100,000 buyin.Watch a CardRunners exclusive - Cole and Doyle face off!

That would've been a lot cooler if Doyle bluffed successfully. I understand why Cardrunners would rather show their instructor picking off the bluff of a legend, but I wanted it to work.

lol turn floats with T high.

I'd imagine the play would work a lot better if the turn was like a J or T instead of a K. It would have made for more combinations of hands that CTS was behind and would make it far less likely that Doyle was trying to push him off a chop with a medium A, which in this scenario, it looks like that type of hand would make up a decent part of Doyle's range. As it stood, Doyle pretty much has KK, a bare 6 or a bluff right?

Bet turn bigger imo. River is kind of meh, I think I'd rather bet/fold.

[KevinFKHS 0]

I bet more on the turn. As played I think I'll call river, I would rather lead there though.I'd call cause I think you're hand's underrepped here quite a bit. Might look to your opponent like you're just taking a stab at the turn, and give up when you get called...

I don't think theres any way I can bet fold the river as played...I was planning to bet/fold turn which is why the bet is smaller. I can't see tdizzle floating with like a A8, and I think his flatty is either 9T or a set.I might add the donk better is a donk and I had no prob getting it in against him, but if I got raised on the turn by tdizzle I dont see any way AJ is good there

Why can't you bet/fold the river as played? It doesn't matter what odds you give yourself if he never shoves worse.Just size your bet so that it will get called by worse and if you get raised, you just fold, even getting like 5:1.

Is a set really gonna play that passive till the river here? If he plays like that it's even more reason to lead the river imo, cause he's rarely gonna raise you there with a set then........!?

the board is really dry. He really doesnt have anything to fear by just calling. I suppose I could b/f 20 or so.

it's not dry anymore on the turn though, right? I mean just flatting your 1/2-pot bet would give UTG the odds to call here with any draw.Re:b/f 20, I almost added that I might lead a small amount like 25 here, but I'm not sure how this is generally viewed at 100nl
