Question about Hand History percentages

Guma · #1 (**permalink**) 11-05-2006, 09:22 PM

Below I have posted my Hand History stats from Bodog over the last 3 months. I don't get to play a whole lot online so there are only a little over 2700 hands in this history. My question is about my percentages. Of the books I have read, the only material I have read pertains to the Flops Seen percentages. With my percentage at 29% I realize this is a bit high for my normal Tight Aggressive play when I am in a live game. The other stats are where I have zero knowledge about where they "should be", or what is a norm that I could use to measure my play against.

Does anyone have any light they could shed on these other stats?

Need to mention that everyone of these hands are from $.50/$1 NL Max Buyin $50 Full table. That is all I have played on Bodog.

Do you play limit or NL? Full table or short handed? Tournaments or Cash games?

29% is fine for about anything but a full ring cash game.

Your showdowns won and win % when seen flop is excellent.

Glad you asked that about type of game. I answered in the OP so everyone would see that info...

Considering that you see 1/3 of the flops on the hands you get, you're definately not tight pre-flop. A "tight" player probably sees about 20% of their flops. 29% could be considered tight if you play 6 handed games.

I completely agree that my flops seen percentage is high. I am told by other players that I have a tight agressive style during live play, but I have never kept records to see what that percentage would be for a live game or a tournament. That is all about to change because recently I bought a PDA and I am working on an Excel spreadsheet that I can enter data into and keep records of my live play.

no no no...here's the thing...20% is TAG, but that refers to vpip, not flops seen.

as we all know, you can see a flop 1/9 hands without putting in any money voluntarily. so your 29% is likely at least 5% lower, which puts you awfully close to being tight.

my recommendation...buy pokertracker and stop guessing about this stuff.

I have PokerTracker but I have not been able to get it to work with Bodog. I just got it about 3 days ago, any tips for me?

Bodog won't work with Pokertracker.

29% is ok for full ring NL but it still sounds a little loose. It is Bodog though and I know the games there are weaker than other places.

If you get a lot of free looks in the BB and you are at tables with a lot of loose play, 29% is fine. I am assuming this is the case at Bodog. On tougher tables where most people don't limp, only raise, I think you would end up playing a bit tighter.
