what’s my range??

BTIMM:  when you ressurect yourself online as an alter-ego blogger, do let me in on the location.  hitup the “about me” page for an email/msn/skype addy.

CARDS: on the homework front, i’m reviewing hands to see what my range is.  or more specifically, what range of cards do i play profitably. 

probably should’ve been doing monthly recaps all along, but as played, do i win with . . .

  • big pockets – check
  • actually all pockets – check.  with a meager winning for 99, and there might be something to that.  i play 99 differently than 88 (BIG winner), and maybe i give 99 too much credit.
  • suited Aces – check
  • JTs/T9s – check. 
  • other suited connectors, one-gappers and  suited two-gaps – LOSERS
  • non-suited connectors, gaps – LOSERS.  but not by as much as thier suited counterparts.  that makes sense in that i’ll avoid the flush over flush big pot losses.

in digging, i noticed that KQs is a loser, and it probably has something to do with how i play that hand.   in fact, if i remove KQs from the SC results, it’s break-even. 

thumbs up to finding a hole :) !! 

the thing is that my VPIP/PFR with these hands is 50/32.

one-gaps i’ll get into next time.  for now, i’m dropping them until i get a better grip on it all.

other hands in the red that i need to fix:

  • AQo
  • AJo
  • KQs
  • KQo
  • KJo

hmmph.  i think i have some things to look into a bit more deeply, and then some changes to make.  i hope they make a difference.

    well, you didn’t indicate sample size for your breakdowns. looking at these groupings can definitely uncover some places to look for leaks, but usually just a starting point. 50/32 might be too high, for instance, but if you’ve selected your games/seats well, it’s not terribly out of line, i would think…but you do want to make sure that when you’re playing them after someone raises, for instance, you have a good reason for it.
