NL 50 - Continued
My challenge continues onward and upward over the past week or so. I have had less time to play with Christmas parties and work related functions taking up a few more evenings than usual. Since I am stuck in my house for a while during a severe snowstorm watch I figured I would update my progress.
I just bought Hold'em Manager (HEM) to track my play. I used to use PT2 but it has become obsolete and HEM has a lot better stat tracking and HUD options than PT3. HEM uses PostgreSQL and its an absolute bitch to get going. I am still having problems every time I restart my computer but I think I have it figured out on how to get it working after a restart. It's a royal pain in the ass but a necessary evil.
I have added 2 tables to bring my total to 6 now for NL50 5max and I have identified a couple glaring leaks that I have worked on over the past few thousand hands.
Redline (Won $ Without Showdown) - This is the new stat that everyone is talking about. I have always maintained a good win rate without worrying about or measuring this stat. I am now making a conscious effort to get my redline to a break even state by firing at more orphaned pots and trying to take down 3 bet pots more often on the flop. I will post a graph at the bottom and compare my last 5,500 hands to my first 10,000 hands so you can see the difference it can make. I think this has saved me at least 1 - 2 BB/100 over the last 5k hands.
My other leak is that I am not 3 betting enough either in position or oop. I find that it doesn't make a big difference at NL50 but it will as opponents get tougher and will have the ability to narrow my range when I do 3 bet and I will not get paid off. I am going to experiment with 3 betting more over the next 5,000 hands and see if it suits my style. I think with proper implementation this will add 1 BB/100 to my winrate.
