This is one of the known problems with scoring anything out of 10 points. All the scores always come in at either 7 to 10 or 1 to 3. It has been proven time and time again that a much smaller scoring sytem (say out of 5) provides more meaningful results. Or even out of four is better because there is no middle number so you can't sit on the fence.

I can save myself the time and fill in

HORRIBLE for every category.

I can't seem to get my game going....been dying in tourneys and lack aggressiveness, been having a hard time bluffing. Been ugly...

Not so - you did alright in the cash game last night. And I still can't get a good read on you.

I got lucky catching that 4 when I took one card to make the boat against your set of Kings.

I may be a little hard on myself...I haven't come in the cash in the tourney for the past 3 times. Of my past 7 sessions my cash game winnings are double my tourney winnings (I've been tracking myself to see how I'm doing overall) I am positive in cash in both areas, so I guess I haven't been doing that bad... I do want to stop being so hesitant about putting all my chips in to scare folks away.

Aggressiveness: 3
Looseness: not sure, I try to vary it depending on the streak im on.
Tournaments Overall: 3
Tournament - early stages: 2
Tournament - late stages: 6
Short-handed: 3
Cash games: ?? - [normally stick to fixed cost, don't really play anything other than tournies. ]
Steam control: 1

Is there a category for reading people, or placing hands?

I would really like to see others rating of me since I'm not sure I can be honest with myself. I'm torn between thinking I'm damn good and that I totally suck. Mostly depends on what has happened recently and my overall mood.

All of my ratings are me comparing myself to my typical opponets not world class players.




Aggressiveness: Hmm Aces HUD generally tells me I'm more aggressive than most or all of the table so I would have to say 9 or even more.
Looseness: I always thought I played tight until I started using Poker Tracker and Aces HUD. I tend to get the best results when I play 35% - 40% or the hands. Lets say I'm 7 or 8 here.
Tournaments Overall: hmmm 7 my results have been + but I think I have a long way to go.
Tournament - early stages: I'm working on this. I try to stay out of the way unless I catch a real hand. 6.5
Tournament - late stages: If I make it here this is where I think I tend to shine. 8.5
Short-handed: I love it when things get short and the stacks are small compared to the stakes. This is my best area so lets say 9.5
Cash games: online 4 or 5 at a casino 8 or 9. I'm a winning player live and I have the records to back that up. My biggest problem is knowing I'm in a game that isn't good but staying anyhow rather than heading home.
Steam control: I've read Zen and the Art of Poker. The leasons haven't taken well though. I'm working on it but I still tend to get pissed with things go bad. 5 or less

Personal Chip Design: I like my chips, not really in the same league with some around here though. 6.5

Ok, now you guys give me some feedback and tell me where I'm all wet.

Since I've seen you play quite a bit during the second quarter, and we squared off heads-up at one CT final table (you had a massive chip lead, I got even, then you won, dammit), I'll take a shot:

Aggressiveness: 9
Looseness: 8
Tournaments Overall: 7
Tournament - early stages: 5
Tournament - late stages: 7
Short-handed: 8
Cash games: ?
Steam control: 4
Personal Chip Design: I've probably seen your chips, but I don't remember.

You are one of the most aggressive late-game players in the CT tournament. I'm convinced that you've made the final table a few times from sheer aggression alone. Don't believe we played in a cash game together yet.

Thanks, sounds like your rating is fairly close to my own. I play lots of SnGs so I see a good amount of short and heads up play. If I get it heads up and catch some cards I almost always win (doh!). If I get it heads up and neither of us catch cards I mostly win. If I get heads up and catch nothing and you catch a little things get hard but will occassionally gind you down and dodge big losses and still win.
