mkeller3086 0 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I just got poker tracker and have logged about 7k hands.I had a question regarding winrates from the blinds.I know PT has that goofy thing where they call a BB actually 2 big blinds.My current winrate from the big blind is -.10.Am I correct in saying that anything under -.50 PTBB is winning back some of what you have put in?What is considered good? Are we happy with a win rate under .50 PTBB or should we not be happy unless its positive? Link to post Share on other sites
RabidTortuga 0 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I don't think you can win from the blinds in the long run. Overcoming the blind bets plus the positional disadvantage together would seem to be impossible. I'm not sure what a respectable rate would be, though. I suppose if you show positive numbers in the w/o blinds column on PT, you're doing well enough. Link to post Share on other sites
David_Nicoson 1 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I think you are interpretting those numbers correctly.I'm seeing -0.08 for the SB and -0.20 for the big blind for the database I have up. I don't know if that's good or not, but I can say that a positive result from the blinds would be very unusual. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I know, in LHE, you can't win from the blinds.I'd be impressed if you could do it from NL, but it's highly unlikely. Link to post Share on other sites
NoBBiR 0 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Losing in the blinds is just poker. You'll never be a winner from the blinds, ever. Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I was actually going to post something very similar to this. So, losing from the blinds is a given, but has anything been written about acceptable guidelines to determine if we are at least playing close to optimally from the blinds (by analyzing PT stats).I'm running at (0.04) and (0.13) BB/100 for the SB and BB respectively through 30k hands.
