nicamstereo: So I have been looking over my database albeit a limited sample size I guess.
I looked at blind play and I am doing better in the sb than the big blind. In the sb I am losing -7.31 bb/100 and in the bb I am losing 49.14 bb/100, is that shocking or what is standard for big blind play as I know you probably have to lose in the bb overall. Maybe I do better in the sb because I mostly 3 bet, I don't really have a calling range in the small blind, whereas I am probably not 3 betting enough in the big blind.
So I looked at 3 bet pots also, and I do so much better when I am the 3 bettor, I am showing a profit of 11 BI when I am the 3 bettor but a loss of 7 BI when I call 3 bets. My stats show that I call 3 bets 31% of the time, fold 58% of the time and 4 bet 11% of the time, I don't know how this measures up to others stats? But definitely seems better to be the aggressor in 3 bet pots so maybe something I should think about in future. I am also showing profits when I 4 bet so thats good too.
I am not sure what other stats to look up as yet any ideas anyone?
What to do with JJ facing a 4 bet after I 3 bet? Poker Snowie recommends jam when its say sb v co but I am sure Snowie is for higher level games as at my limit NL25 stacking off with JJ preflop I think is a no no. I almost think facing the 4 bet with JJ could be a fold as calling is pants too, as often times an overcard comes on the flop and if its a low board you lose a fair chunk of your stack too and calling for set value seems tight in terms of getting the right odds as you dont always get stacks when you hit if they have either AK or were bluff 4 betting , so as weak as it sound I feel that folding could even be best at this limit, any thoughts welcome.
Thats it for now, I am still plodding along not really getting anywhere and still behind overall to the tune of 10 or so BI, but onwards and upwards we go.
if you are not sure about your play with JJ then why do you 3bet ?
and when you dont 3bet JJ then I`m sure you are a losing player @25
(I know its all about position and stacksize and info on villain) but if you ask these questions and then say yourself that you are struglling then maybe a step down and reevaluate is the play here ???
NB. I myself play most of my volume @10 and being a rec I have tons of fun and winning some money beside is the way for me.
ask Jon ,maybe he will do a really honest video review for you, lots of wisdom hiding there.
