LAGging up my 6 max game, yes no why and how?

Postby Pok 7's » Fri Feb 09, 2007 1:19 pm

WARNING: This is long and might not even make much sense .

Alright I'm wondering if I need to or should open up my game a bit. In case anyone dosen't know when I started playing 1/2 for about the first 17K hands or so I was running between 2-2.5 BB/100 depending on how my sessions went. Then as a combination of beats, overplaying hands, and whatever else you can think of sent me into a tailspin to about 0.5BB/100 WR. Got my head on straight and climbed back to where I was.... check here for the visual forum/viewtopic.php?t=20677.

Basically from there to 30K hands has me bouncing back and forthe between the 300 and 350 BB section of that graph (baiscally breakeven) for the last few thousand hands or so which brings us to my current point. I have been getting a lot of junk hands for a while even 2 broadway cards seem to be few and far between.

For the most part I wsa running at about 21-22/11-12/AF has basically always been and sitll is around 2.6.

During the last few thousand hands I was down to a VPIP just shy of 20, although it has gotten back near the 21 level so it might just be a card dead spell.

Either way I still don't know if I need to or should loosen up my game. Or even how to go about doing it. :? I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for but from what I understand I'm probably a little on the tighter side of playing, and trying to maybe take my game to where I can loosen up a bit.

What I'm wondering is: Is there much of a benefit to do so? Aside from just being involved in more hands? My goal is to see if I can get back up to the 2BB/100 WR level, I'm not sure if I should jut play my normal game for another 20K hands or so and see what happens, or make adjustments from here. I'm basically running anywhere from about 1.20-1.5 BB/100 again depending on the session.

1/2 is probably one of the hardest levels to make a decent winrate, the rake is really brutal and really, really eats your profits.

That being said I think that if you are comfortable with your game and the tables allow it, then playing a 30/20 type game is closer to optimal than a 20/10 game, though you certainly shouldn't play for stats.

Just look for more places to steal blinds and defend your blinds, blind play is probably the most important aspect of short handed LHE.
