Andy: Return of the noob

[Andy]

Hi BTP.

I have just bought pokertracker and found this forum, and I must say it is rather overwhelming. Therefore I has startet this tread to post my questions concerning PT.

I'm starting of on Pacific where my BR is (about $1000), my goal is to get the bankroll for NL 200, as that is where the 6 max table starts on Pacific. I think I will start by playing a couple of 1000 hands on NL 25 until i am comfortable with PT and gametime+.

So I used the link for this article (http://www.andymcnish.btinternet.co.uk/newauto.htm) to auto rate the players. Is this the right ratings (the NL50final.TXT link) I should use?

Next I started the auto-import from Pacific, and also checked the "auto rate players when importing HH", and set the observed hands to more or equal than 7 players. But when I am playing at the table will PT then rate the players if there are e.g. 5 players at the table, which is often the case at Pacific. If this is the case will it not tend to give me a misleading picture og the fullring game?

That is it for now and my first day with PT... phew

Andy,

First, welcome to BTP!

Second, I think the is the wrong place to ask about PT. This section is to have journals. Here you are supposed to post about your progress or downfalls in everyday play.

BTW, I encourage you to do it. To keep this as your journal that is. For me, it has been awful because since I started mine, I have been doing like ****, but it has helped a lot trying to find the leaks and trying to keep focused on playing well.

I hope everything goes fine for you.

Well I was not done with PT for today after all. I just had to try it out a bit, and I must admit I am having a hard time coping the NL 25 full ring again.

Which stat should be displayed (I use gametime+) when playing?

[Andy]

thanks for the warm welcome Alex.

I started out posting the questions in the forum for poker tools, but decided that I could just as well make a poker journal. Both to have some order in my questions, but also to keep myself motivated.

Played a short session today, before I have to start doing my homework:

Pacific NL25
Hands played - 67
VP$IP - 19.70 %
Amount won - $ 16.59
(PT??)BB/100 - 49.52

I have tried to find out where a can see the aggression factors for each session, instead of just the overall aggression factors. Could someone tell me if that is possible?

I just had the biggest zit today:

don't whatch this movie if youre planning on having mayonnaise later!!!
Back to the homeworks, hoping to play some more tonight if I have some sparetime. Over and out

Today I passed the first 500 hands:

Hands: 501
VP$IP: 23.35
Amount won: $168.66
PTBB/100: 67.33

EDIT: Would you ever fold top pair good kicker on pacifics NL25 tables in a two way pot, if there aren't any obvious flush og straight draws on the table (like 4 in the same suit or 6543)? Should you fx. ever fear 3 of a kind?

Not unless both stacks were 70BB +
