 interesting revelations, Dano Roo, 9. Aug 2002 12:27 | ||
| View ( Message | Thread ) | Return to Thread List | |
| While playing online recently, I noticed a feature on the site that logs statistical information about the way you play. One statistic that stood out was the fact that I saw 42% of the flops. The game was low limit ($1-$2) hold-em, and what I would consider to be a moderately tight passive game. My question is, am I staying in on too many mediocre hands? I`m new to poker, so if this question is is stupid please forgive me. | ||

Closer to 15% would be more along my lines of play. However, I play in a higher game that requires tighter hand selection. It sounds like you need to tighen up your startign hand requirements!

My percentage was running about 23% (and I felt like I was playing tight as heck) Maybe I haven't been as tight as I thought... Eric | ||

Loose passive obviously allow a slightly increase in selection ,mainly draws.. Tight aggressive I would narrow my hands to the 15% Roy abides by for obvious reasons..Draws will get very expensive..While made hands are bet strongly.. jim | ||

| Thanks for the responses. I heeded your advise and it made a tremendous difference in my game. I went from the afore mentioned 42% to 26% over a 300 hand period and actually made money! It was great to find myself in the driver`s seat after the flop much of the time. Actually dictating the action instead of giving it! Mucho Gracias!!! | ||
