The first 3 pages (worksheet, for those who know Excel) analyse PF raises and are pretty simple. I just take my own raises in 3 cases and look at the results for the hand. The 3 different cases are: 1) Raises from the blinds, 2) Raises from UTG and UTG+1, 3) "LP" raises (which I'm counting as all other positions). I just want to get some idea of whether the EP raises are profitable or not. In actuality, some sort of comparison of result vs. EV would be nice, but I think it would be almost impossible to make that comparison from the time of the raise.
The other sheets are a bit more elaborate and involve post-flop play (and do compare results to EV, to the extent that one can actually calculate that). Here are the sheets:
1) Made hands. This will includes any bet on top 2 or better.
2) Semi-bluffs. This will include any bet on 13 or better nut outs.
3) Bluffs. Any bet on less than top 2 or 13 nut outs.
4) Calls. This includes all CALLS on flop and turn as well as river calls. The quality of my own hand doesn't matter in terms of putting it in this category (rather than category 1 or 2).
Now, on each of these, I have the following columns set up (in addition to some columns to identify site and stakes): Hand, board, players (number of players in the hand), position, result, EV (I think I can put a number to this post-flop), EV-result (to check for variance), category (actually subcategory, like top 2 for value bet, or J-high flush, etc.), and "better" (this is if another line would clearly have been better knowing opponents' cards).
What would also be nice would be a laydown worksheet, but I don't see how one could set that up in any useful way since you almost never know what villain actually had, so you don't really know whether it was a good or bad laydown.
Anyhow, this whole thing obviously doesn't incorporate everything (like whether you even decided to see a flop), but it's about the best I've been able to come up with to see what actually happened during a session and what plays are profitable.
Any suggestions?
My plan is to fill out the chart after each session, and I hope it won't prove so tedious as to be more than I'm willing to do as time goes by.Statistics: Posted by Aisthesis — Mon Jul 23, 2007 12:53 pm
