Finally I got internet in my new appartment...
As I haven't had internet connection for quite some time, I have had time to review my game. So this I have done. I opened PS Elephant and I started analysing. And I came to the conclusion that I have pretty much played my A-game (on strong hands at least).
Here are some stats on the hands, that should more or less be played everytime they occure. Right now they will be reffered to as Starting Monsters. Here goes.
Hand: times on hand
won ($) / lost ($) - NET $
AA: 5 times
Won 5 ($1.42) / Lost 0 ($0) - NET: $1.42
KK: 10 times
won 9 ($11.46) / Lost 1 ($7.54) - NET: $3.92
AKs: 1 time
Won 1 ($0.01) / Lost 0 ($0) - NET: $0.01
QQ: 10 times
Won 8 ($5.56) / Lost 2 ($2.80) - NET: $2.76
AKo: 20 times
Won 17 ($3.83) / Lost 3 ($3.05) - NET: $0.78
JJ: 6 times
Won 6 ($2.67) / Lost 0 ($0) - NET: $2.67
So all in all that Starting Monsters has given me NET $11.56 (my own posted blind are incounted)
Next up are the Close To Monsters:
Hand: times on hand
NET $
AQs: 3 times
NET: $0.25
TT: 7 times
NET: $1.28
AQo: 18 times
NET: $3.37
99: 5 times
NET: $-1.88
So to sum up the Close To Monsters they have given me NET: $3.02
That's all profit. So besides that unlucky KK where are my losses. I looked deeper into my stats, and here's what I found.
From A2s-AJs: 34 times
Played hands (including blinds): 14
NET: $-1.22
Basically lost on one ATs and one AJs.
From A2o-AJo: 113 times
Played hands (including blinds): 40
NET: $-7.02
This is mostly because of a few hands, where I think I was doing well - but obviously wasn't.
From 22-88: 46 times
Played hands (including blinds): 23 (50%)
NET: $-3.53
This loss is caused by bad play.
So to make some sort of conclusion. I play my Starting Monsters and Close To Monsters pretty well. It's clear for everyone, that I should play less A-low - both suited and offsuited. I should also be more careful with my small pairs, and only play them if I can check in BB. And then fold them if I'm not clearly ahead with a set or something like that.
Now for a few hands, just to illustrate the above losses:
