Average players on the microstakes

Interesting numbers
Even though you have only 3500 hands, you seem to be noticing trends that match general expectations

As for changing your play, I would suggest that over 3500 hands it is too soon to tell.
For example: "I seem to fold too little to check/raises"
In 3500 hands you've been check/raised how many times?
You might have just had hands that were unlikely to hold up.

Now that you're aware, the next time you're check-raised, examine your hand carefully:
 Is it a made hand or a draw?
 If a made hand -- how strong? Two pair, TPTK, trips, set or whatever
 If a draw, are you drawing to the nuts, and how many outs?
 Pot odds and implied odds matter for draws also.

I suppose that a check/raise stats needs many more hands than the preflop raise right? Somewhere I read you need 200k hands to know your real winrate, but that seems like a lot to not adjust anything.

Anyway sometimes I go a little overboard with analysis and should focus on the basics. Calculating pot odds can be hard sometimes, but usually I manage. Quantifying implied odds seems impossible so far, but at least I know that TAG players give little of it.

I made your picture visible. Than we don't need to click on links.

So does it mean that microstakes games still reward solid ABC Tag play?

My experience is - yes. Even if everyone at the table is tight, I usually try to be tighter than them and it always rewards me. Somebody always eventually gets bored and starts doing funky bets 😃

There are two basic concepts that I found confusing in the beginning because they seem to contradict each other:

• Iso-raising against weak players to take the pot down with a cbet
• Exploiting calling stations by over value betting

It works because weak players call too much pre-flop and fold too much on the flop. And when they hit anything, they call you down. If they start raising you can happily fold. And I think your numbers also imply this. But as mentioned before, this is a very very very small sample size.

I am usually the one asking for oppinions on this subject and as I appreciate those whom provide feedback, I'll try "pay it back" best that I can.

1- 3500 hands really is not much, but ok, it start a trend.

2- I like to think of NL5 as a "prepare you game for next stake", by starting to trim a couple of things and start getting a little more familiar with next stake game. With that in mind:

VPIP/PFR= 24/18, seems to me you may have some space there to bring your PFR a little higher. Regardless of your post flop advantage, soon as flop is dealt, rake is paid.
3Bet, you already said it. I think it can align with above line and for the same reason, mostly. Also, a thing I noticed in NL10, is that very often you'll have semi-decent players in blinds ready to squeeze if you call instead of 3betting. Do some research on hands that can 3bet as "semi-bluff" or hands that have positive blockers for 3bet calls.

Flop: When I first read your post, I was going to point out the difference between FCBet and T/RCBet, but since you justified it so well, there's nothing to add, axcept "Good exploit".
Your check raise may be something you want to work on, specially if you already identified your villains as aggro or passive. I like to check/raise aggros OTF.
Your fold to FCBet and F float are somehow triggering something for me. It looks like you may be giving away some 2nd pair hands and draws that may very well be SD matherial. I may be very wrong here, but maybe is worth to review some hands you folded Flop with decent hands/draws.

You Turn game is quite simplified by your Flop game. You already enter the turn with a strategy. Nothing to add here, except next point.
Also, make sure you do not get uncomfortable playing turns because you follow a strong flop strategy

River: 63% fold to RCBet? What makes you think after FCBet and TCBet, villain will not RCBet? most of the hands you are folding here are likely Turn folds. Check pyramidal deffense articles. Looks like you can shift some of your River folds to Turn.

Overall, your AF can be slightly higher, but in 3500 hands, that's negligible. Re-evaluate it over 10k, 50k...Also, look at your positional awareness and river call efficiency. Those are usually disregarded, but a good "stability" trackers, imo.

GL @ the tables

Interesting analysis and stats. Thanks for sharing DodoBrabbel :f_thumbsup:.

Great tip. Something to write down in my poker post-its.

Thx for clearing the meaning after iso-raising up. I do this on autopilot but now it makes a lot of sense.

Is it possible to makes the OP table with the free version of H2Note? I don't mind sharing my first 10k hands.
