I originally posted this in the PokerTracker forum, but was told I should separate my limit from my no-limit stats and put them in the appropriate place. So, I've done that. Here are my limit stats. Bear in mind that I haven't played anything bigger than $1/2, and $1/2 only accounts for 719 hands of my total. The vast majority have been played at $.50/1 (6,596) and $.25/.50 (2,098).



I need to raise more pre-flop, obviously. I'm looking forward to any feedback that any of you good folks have outside of that.

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me out here!

Solid numbers imo.

Like you said, you need to raise PF more...but other than that you really need to work on your aggression post-flop. Way to much checking and calling...need more betting and raising.

Here is something that I found a long time ago and liked it so much I printed it out and stuck it to my wall. A member of another forum put it together but I can't remember who it was (sry to author). Basically he had a bunch of winning LIMIT players send him their Poker Tracker data and compiled it to show ranges for different PT stats for winning players. I find it extremely helpful in determining if I have a issue in a certain area. Remember though, it's not the only way to play winning poker and plenty of winning players fall outside of the ranges. This is also for players that were playing at $2/$4 but I still think it's very relavant.

Thanks again to everyone that's replied so far.

I probably limit my starting hand selection too much, yes. . .particluarly for the levels that I'm playing at. I've read a lot of the standard poker books out there, and I find myself limping in with some of the hands that they say you should be open-raising with. I'm not sure WHY I do it this way, exactly. . .just a part of my game I need to work on. I do seem to be at my best when I'm a bit more aggressive, but usually all it takes is one nasty suckout or bad beat and I dial it back again.

I need to keep the aggression up all the time, not just selectively. It sounds like I could possibly be playing more hands, too, which doesn't seem to be a common problem at the lower limits. . .from what I've seen, the problem most people have at these levels is playing way too many hands.

Keep it coming, if there's anything else. After work this afternoon, I'm going to set about trying to turn that loss into a gain. (Not all at once, obviously. . .slow and steady.)
