HUSNG Hyper-Turbo

Hello Guys,

I am struggling a little bit at 3.5 $ husng, stars, with @ 2% ROI after 500 matches.
I do not have friends that are experienced poker players and can help me with any advices.

Very grateful if someone with more experience than me (pretty much everyone from here) can take 1 minute to look through my stats that I attached.

Thank you!

Guys, at least this one please. Do you happen to know what am I doing wrong here?

Thanks for looking into it! Is there an issue with the SB percentages? I thought the BB is my problem...

BB would be super tight if it were all 25bb but I didn't want to comment as a lot of it can be based on your VPIP against open shove.

Your SB VPIP is on the low side and PFR on the high side. I assumed you aren't limping as much as ideal.

Yes, probably that is because I watched some videos and read some articles where they said you should start raising almost 100% of hands, but I assume that's not the case in today's games.

You have the same opinion of a reg that I speak to and he told me 90-95% of hands should be played from SB and limping should be around 55%-65%. Probably that's the best strategy in today's games.

What really concerned me is that I'm losing with high card & pair. Probably that is because of a poor style post flop where I might be bluffing to much.

Thanks alot for your comments!

Maybe you have too high followthrough on bluffs? Instead of giving up like half your bluffs on the next street, you bet them like 75% of the time? How often to give up depends on so many factors that I don't even want to get started on details but the idea that you give up some bluffs on the next street is quite important. The bluff followthrough can be everywhere from 0% to 100% at equilibrium poker (worst to best card for range or improving the most vs the least draws).

Hi Kalupso,

I think your point is very, very good. Thank you.
Never thought about it, but now I think this is exactly the case and it definitely makes sense. I have a tendency to continue my bluffs as I think I become a little upset/stubborn when I get called.

It is interesting to see how our brain tends to take decisions based on feelings sometimes rather than on mathemtatics/facts.

Very helpful!

First of all, 2% at the stakes with the highest rake is not bad. Assuming you're two-tabling, I think a good goal is 3%-4% with anything over 5% crushing but definitely achievable. 500 tourneys is also a small sample size for hypers, but we can see some trends in your stats all the same.

I'm no expert at analyzing stats, including my own, but I think you're probably playing way too tight and way too aggressively out of the BB. You should be playing very exploitatively at these stakes which should mean taking advantage of people playing too loose preflop and too face up and/or fit-fold after the flop. I would default 3B a merged range of around 17%-20% at 25BB and not ISO very much without very easy hands to navigate postflop. Remember, building a bigger pot when you're OOP is usually not ideal, especially at short stacks because the button's positional advantage is already quite diminished. I agree with Kalupso that you're probably bluffing too frequently and for too much of your stack. When you do ISO or 3B, remember to use fundamental board texture and handreading skills on the flop; you don't have to c-bet every flop and barrel every turn just because you ISO'd pre.

Other than that, you may well be misreading population's tendencies given that you've lost so much with one-pair hands. You need to tweak how you play those hands. While it may be theoretically correct to go with 85 on 35Q at 12BB effective, you may be up against people who won't get it in anywhere near theoretically correct to make it profitable.

Just keep playing and trying to improve based on the player pool! You got this!

Thanks a million for your analysis!

At the moment, I want to prove to myself that I can mantain a winning rate and that I am a winning player before moving to two-tabling.

"Other than that, you may well be misreading population's tendencies given that you've lost so much with one-pair hands."
Probably that is the case. I will wait to have a bigger sample of hands (over 15k) and then start to query my DB for population tendencies.

Also, I've seen that PT4 filters are verry efective to see where you are losing or not, but a bigger sample is needed.

I already read your comment multiple times. I will keep doing it until it gets into my head.
