Threads of the Week: Assistance Required with "Stats and Redline"

Some would call this a rainbow week, as we had interesting threads ranging from witty questions on stats and the red line to threads dedicated to tilting, especially when it comes to the unexpected events such as loss of the internet connection.

1. Need help with stats and redline TY

As the title of the top thread of this week suggests, a few of the big questions every poker beginner faces when he starts using a poker analysis tool (such as the PokerStrategy.com Elephant) are what story do his stats tell, how should the red line look like and...the TY part is actually an alien object in the title, expressing gratitude in advance.

So, with the clearly stated aims for his new peaks in poker knowledge, drbloody went on to elaborate in his thread what precisely bugs him when it comes to stats and the notorious red line. You can find out more on what exactly troubles him as well as read some of the in-depth answers already posted by reading this week's top thread.

2. HU success

Almost in a Terminator fashion, stijepo1 walked into the SnG sea and whacked his opponents left and right, starting with a $25 bonus on PartyPoker and working it up to over $750 in 12 days.
Seeing he had made a "decent" progress, he decided to bid hasta la vista to the tables for the time being in order to ask other PokerStrategists just how well did he do in these first two weeks of SnG-ing.

He played a total of 518 SnGs with his Roi being at 9%. The graph alone (shown in his thread) was enough to give a heart-attack to several community members who shrieked in panic for stijepo1's future poker career, BankRoll Management, stick to it! If you wish to check out how stijepo1's progress looks like or join the shrieking to prevent the graph taking a downward path in a similarly rapid fashion, feel free to check his thread out.

3. for those who read the poker mindset

There are many things that can make you go on a tilt, but most of these things are related to the poker world, such as the fish, Lady Luck messing with your win rate, etc., but what about those unexpected events outside of the poker box? One of such tilt-inducers struck alejandrosh, as he lost his internet connection in the middle of an SnG multitabling session.

His natural response was to naturally kick the nearest object with his foot - one of those moves which nearly always end up -EV for you. So, with a nearly broken foot and 16 SnG tables turned to dust, what can he do? In quest for answers on how to deal with such situations, he also found a glimpse of hope on how to get some of the lost money back. Check out his thread and find out more on this problematic situation which virtually all of us have to face no matter what type of poker we play, as long as it requires internet connection.
