So I got on the party poker wagon just in time, and now the titian poker promotion gives me another chance at poker should I donk off all my party chips. whoo-hoo!

love you meat and naz and all those who run liquid poker.

BUT I don't <b>want</b> to donk off all my party chips, so todays topic is:

finding the gigantic leaks in my game with poker tracker.

this is a bore-tastic record:

$0.02/$0.04 game on party

sample size: only 1000 hands... lack of accuracy likely

VPIP 19% PFR 8% total agg 1.5

pocket pairs total: -$6.55

suited connectors: +$9.36

off suited Ax KQ etc: -$4.46

play from Blinds: +3.00

so, from this basic analysis, I think I'm a calling station based on that agression factor. got to get big or go home.
I think my Preflop calling range is okay at 18, especially seeing as suited connectors seem profitable, I'd like to keep playing them.
I could tighten up by perhaps not playing Ax and KQo kind of hands as they seem to be getting me into trouble.
I should probably raise more preflop to disguise hands like suited connnectors... but there are always a few callers, and you can't really bluff them off on the flop I've found.
I felt like my blind play was fairly spewy, but apparently I'm up there, so who knows... maybe it was just one big hand i got lucky on. sample size is really too small

In other news, went and played at a poker party last night. before the game we had a fun pot-luck dinner with all kinds of weird food coming out like Mussels

and Russian salad

and sushi and such.

then on to the $5 buy-in winner takes all tourney. 10 players, I got knocked out by my inability to change my line after I get a read. I saw my opponent get all excited by a straight making 7 on the turn, but I still bet out when he checked to me. haha, gotta get more reliant on my reads, re-evaluate the hand every time its my turn.
but I've won that tourney 2/5 times, so not too bad.

But I think this is the important thing... I've got to be less rigid and re-evaluate the hand each time it is my turn to act. I think this kind of rigidity is what is leading to my calling station spewing.

big thanks
to locoo for offering to obs a few tables with me and lend me his 5NL dominating experience.
to twotimesopt for digging up dauts poker vid. and also to daut for making the vid. great stuff.

Ok, that is all. Good luck my comrades in poker.
