Zoom NL2 (New try!!!)

Well I completely agree that there are many different ways to approach poker at that there are many profitable ways to play the game.

The point I was trying to make is that you are losing boatloads of value by not charging your opponents for the chance to suck out on you. Preflop AK is better than 90% of the possible combinations with 60% plus equity. A 3 bet is mathematically profitable against anybody that opens more than ~8% of hands. This is 99% of the population.

The next thing is that now you know you have a profitable situation, you can use opponents future actions as a guide to know where you currently stand against him. You can narrow his range significantly. You cannot do that by just calling. Let's say he cbets 50% of the time. Good luck guessing his range. But what if he only calls a 3 bet with 10% of his range? Now you can pidgin hole his range much better. What if he 4bets with only 3% of his hands? You can now safely know you are against a range as small as QQ+.

You may think your playing style has much less chance of swings but mathematically you couldn't be farther from the truth. By not narrowing hour opponents range you get to showdown much more often and therefore give your opponent much more chances to hit hands against you.

GRAPHS & STATS FOR 3K HANDS

I WILL APPRECIATE YOUR OPINION.

Hi, panahs,
3000 hands is really too small a sample for a useful opinion.

However...

Looks good!

Best of luck!

There is something really wrong going on with your RFI. Unless I am not looking at the stats correctly, this is your raise first in:

EP 1.7% (~12% is more reasonable)
MP 2.2% (~18% is more reasonable)
CO 11.1% (~28% is more reasonable)
BTN 47.2% (50-60% is pretty standard so there's not a huge issue here)
SB 47.6% (quite loose but people fold blinds too much so its good that this is high)

Especially EP and MP are WAY WAY too tight, this would suggest you are only raising QQ+ and AK. While there may be some variance due to the fact that your sample is only 3k hands, I'd still say that we can still conclude that you are playing far too tight from the first 3 positions.

It seems that you are limping a fairly wide amount of hands from EP-CO instead, and I would not advise this, and would advise raising hands that you wish to play if you are first into the pot.

@metza
I think you nailed it: the limping from EP-CO accounts for the low RFI.

@panahs
Here's another thought on limping:
Each time you bet, you are charging the others a price to see your cards.
Why sell yourself so cheaply?
If you think you have an advantage, charge a reasonable fee for them to take a chance on sucking out. Never let them suck out for free!

If -- on the other hand -- you DON'T think you have an advantage, then fold (or check if you can), and save your coins for a time when you can use them to get more

@metza, @VorpalF2F

I know that all of these numbers and variables on PT,Hm2 ,FPDB and other statistical analysis tools are very helpful.Honestly i start studying the background theory of that mathematical and statistical formulas.A learning from zero to an advance level.I agree is a MUST
As you can see is a small sample of hands because i am interesting more to improve my game,studying the theory review my sessions hands and finally discuss some good hands with others.
There are a lot of things out there have to do until accept that i am a solid player at any limit.

I choose the far way but the safest.Never back again!!!
And people like you with advises and your opinions help me a lot!THANK YOU

Hi, panahs,
Yes, luck is certainly part of the game.

Over the long term, luck evens out for all players.
I think Phil Ivey is the exception to that, but I can't be sure.

The KK vs KK is a perfect example of that.

In the 2nd hand, where you shove over the CBet vs two players you are really in a spot.

The spot is difficult because:
♦  You're short stacked -- If you don't auto-top-up your stack, this will happen a lot. You have no fold equity here (or very little). Your hand is an OESD w/ two overs.
♦  The board is paired. There is a flush draw out there too.
♦  You bet into a situation where no worse will call, no better will fold

In this particular case, you were dead in the water from the start, but with less than 40 BB, you need to play a short stack strategy, and this isn't it.

Cheers,

Hi VorpalF2F,
Honestly, at that point i was TILT!!!.I lost many showdown on the river.And this bad downswing made me crazy X(.
I did not rebuy because i knew that i lost another session.BIG losses!!!

Anyway i found the solution.Turn on the regular tables and recover from the downswing.The good news is that, for first time i used live tracking (FPDB is working very well with regular tables).Maybe is the missing part of success.

FINAL GRAPH

I WILL TRY AGAIN WITH ANOTHER SITE!!! I DO NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WITH POKERSTARS.I WILL COME BACK WITH OTHER SITE VERY SOON...
