[Closed] Lost the $50 :(

Thanks for your reply!
What do those values exacly mean and what are their ideal values for a SSS player? I'm new to PokerTracker.

well your VPIP is to very high you should have MAX 7 i have 6

and you have't posted any hands no wonder you went broke

That's something I don't get: why should I post hands? The SSS strategy is strict and covers most situations.

Hello seppevs,

There could be a variety of things that went wrong.

Leaks of beginners are often too loose play (your Vpip seems a bit high) (VPIP means voluntary put into put - so the amount of hands you decided to play while out of the blinds) - wrong raise sizes, continuation betting on bad flops or against too many opponents.

Since you didnt post any hands its hard to analyse the rest of your play - so that would have definitaly been very useful. Did you watch some of the SSS videos in our video section?

Here is a good SSS blog with some PT stats. I would also recommend his SSS coachings

Yes I did bet on bad flops because SSS says when I have trash hand I should go all in when my stack is less or equals to the pot when I have only 1 opponent. I lost quiet some money when I did this ...

Why should I post hands? SSS strategy on this website covers most (if not all) situations: preflop, postflop, turn and river.

Not yet, but I will do

Thanks for the link and your reply! (and sorry for my bad english)

4k hands is a piece of variance. If you were playing strictly basic SSS, then what you experienced is massive good run of starting hands that were sucked out postflop) Otherwise, I can`t explain how come your Vpip is that high.

Here is an example of stats (check NL 50) you should have on a distance, to beat limits till NL 100.

whoa 14% VPIP from SB? you are completing for pot/implied odds a lot at the lower limits as well?

This isn't mine statistics
And why not to complete with pp at any limit?) set is set...

i don't play SSS, but why not?

cause the concept may be too advanced for beginning players!

(and ofc if i did play SSS i would complete with pocketpairs, and sometimes limp in from CO/BU if the players behind me are passive + i have limpers in front)

9.99 VP$IP is considered high?! O_o

I have almost the same amount of hands (3,611) and mine is at 14.51, completing the SB at 31.25. And I have a nice $18.31 under Amount Won. I even have A2s as 6th-highest Win % hand (had it 7 times, won with it 71.43% of the times [so 5 out of 7 :P] because I had it 3 of 5 times in a Blind and my 4BB bets if there were no limpers, except the button and a completing SB, usually made the remaining guy(s) fold ♦). The two times it didn't win was because I folded it pre-flop, in early and middle position.

Sure, I sometimes lost my buy-in like that, but most of my money was lost due to Suck Outs on the River when I played the SSS hands, and it was due to my obviously "loose" play that I won back all of it and added some more.

But hey, that's just me. Guess I am only lucky, right? But maybe it's also because I only play 1 or 2 tables max, and thus am able to concentrate on my opponents. I thus figure out who the (really) loose players are, who is only trying to steal the blinds, who will probably fold to my 4BB bets, etc. I think that's one point in which the SSS is lacking a bit.

well, standard play with a set oop doesn`t require much knowledge, hit the set - bet the set)

Limping from late is also possible, however, not necessary on NL 10

yeah but it could also encourage players to play hands like A2... (not pointing any fingers ;))

oh and another thing drakhor, 3622 hands is nothing. i've just started on cash games, and this is my stats after about that amount of hands.

i think it's safe to say that i'm not yet concluding that my winrate is almost 29BB/100

[EDIT] after chenny's edit: Wow, nice amounts you won there. But I also notice that your VP$IP is also way too "high". But then again, you obviously play short-handed only, so that's normal I guess.

heh, then we have to close all the forums and leave SHC only)

bad omens! ignoring.

Ok thx for the replies. One question I still have: what's an ideal PFR% for a SSS player?

Grtz

same as VPIP
