Re: How Do You Do At Online Poker?

OK first of all, different stats apply to different games. What I mean is, your stats should be different at a full ring game with 10 players, than it would with just a 6 player or less table.
I'm assuming the stats you have provided are for full ring with 8+ players aye ? Also I'd wait tonnes more before you read into them too deeply.
Another thing stats can be misleading, there is no definite percent that you should be playing, you have to alter your play to suit the style of the game you are in. Your stats in an extremely tight game of good players would be different to an extremely loose game with bad players. You can only use them as guides.


Flops seen 29% - That could be a touch on the high side for ring games.
But like I say that's only based on a few hundred hands, nowhere near enough. It also doesn't take into account the style of the game or the quality of opponents.
Showdowns won 47% - I think that's a bit low. You should be winning over half the showdowns you stay to.


I don't really wanna go into too much detail as that's not nearly enough hands to be statiscally significant. I wouldn't get too bogged down with stats at the moment. Concentrate on cutting things out like junk calls Q6 etc and hoping to get lucky. Make sure you don't let frustration alter your game.
Have a read about tournament strategy, don't just take my word for it, get a whole load of other people's views as well. Obviously you wanna be constantly watching your own play and analysing it to try and improve.
But things can be misleading. Say there was an ideal percentage to call with pre-flop and you did......... you could be calling with all the wrong hands in the wrong positions. It's not quite as simple as how often should I be calling etc if you see what I mean ?
