Bait

I finally decided to try Poker Tracker. It’s installed and configured, and I am about 100 hands into the 1000 hand trial. Even before installing PT, I knew my game needed a lot of work. I’m still trying to get the hang of things, ya know? But, boy oh boy! I had no idea how awful things really are…

It processed the first set of log files, and I ran the auto rate. I asked it to rate me, too. Scrolling through the list of names, I look for mine. There I am! Let’s see…what is that next to my name? Fish? What?! There must be some mistake! Let’s exclude some hands and try again. What? I’m still a fish? No way! No matter what I did, it still called me a fish.

Yes, folks. It’s true. I’m a fish! I’m telling myself it is based on the limited sample size and the mix of shorthanded games, but the truth is staring me in the face.

I’m a guppy, a goldfish, a minnow — bait.

Oddly enough, the big blind and the button make me the most money. I play way too much from early position, and shouldn’t defend my blinds so much. I should run from the Hilton Sisters — I’ve seen the lovely ladies three times, and all three times I went down in flames. I knew women were expensive, but they’ve cost me soooo much money. I’m sure PT has more advice for me, I just need to figure it out!

    More samples…you need more samples. Poker Tracker has me as loose-aggressive. I can’t figure out for the life of m e if that’s a good thing.

    I guess since I am DOWN lifetime on-line…..it’s not good news.

    Run it up to the full 1000 and post some stats - someone will figure out a course of action! If you’re playing limit, then don’t expect me to be much use - I suck at limit…

    Try the $20 Poker Tracker Guide from hDouble at Cards Speak blog or Iggy at Party Poker Blogs.

    They wrote the puppy and it really opens up the capabilities of Poker Tracker for you to use.

    Yeah, I have it.

    You can bet your cookies that I will post some stats :D

    I did get the guide. It’s hard to use it since I’m not familiar with the software. I just need to get more comfortable since the guide won’t let us open another program at the same time.

    Kind of shocking that the big blind is one of your two biggest money spots. Most players lose most of their money playing out of the blinds.
