"More Stats" - What is working/What is not

I just got done reviewing my "more stats" overall and for the last 30 days.  For those that do not know this feature you can see what, where, hours etc.
 
For me, since I play different games, levels and tournaments on primarily two sites it is important to look at "what is working and what is not".
 
My conclusion is on Poker Stars I should stick with tournaments, specifically PLO when available and then Texas Hold'em.  On FullTilt I should stay clear of tournaments and concentrate specifically on lower limit Pot Limit Omaha games.
 
This was very blatant when I compared hours played with money won/lost.  I fight with myself though and think, "why can't I do well on Full Tilt tournamnents but do well on Poker Stars?" Bottom line, it doesn't matter.
 
Stick with what is working!
 
So I suggest to any of you who have mulitple things going on to view your "more stats", analyze it and make the appropriate changes.  For those happy with your success, don't change much but take a peek.
 
For those that are just playing the same game, limit and location and feel they are struggling, try and vary up your games.  Try new places and game types, online and live.  Find where you win and keep going at it.
 
Just my thoughts, happy hunting.
 
btw - just watched "Lucy You", not to fond of poker movies but this one was very realistic with "real" poker people involved, anyone that has spent time in Vegas or LA will recognize many of the people, not just the pros.

Poker Stars and Full Tilt Hand History Uploading

Finally Rob sat on the couch and finished up hand history uploading for both Full Tilt Poker and Poker Stars!
 
For now not much information is given to you, but remember this, the more hands that are saved the more information will be available to all of us later.
 
Hand Histories are also nice to backup and verify your online performance as well as to replay hands that were problematic and get opinions.
 
Uploading hand histories for these sites are the same as Party Poker is, Hand History Uploading Guide
 
*with Full Tilt Poker you must click the "Save My Hand Histories" box for them to be saved to your machine, the box is located in the "Main Menu" under "Options" and the last option titled "Hand History..." once open you can click the "Save My Hand Histories" box.
 
*for Poker Stars to save hand histories to your machine, log into the "Main Menu", click the "Options" tab, then close to the bottom the "Instant Hand History Options..."
There you can click the "Save My Hand History" box.
 
On both sites once in the Hand History menu you can choose where to save the Hand History files on your computer and also to set the length of time in which to save hand histories.

Account Sharing

Looks like someone just lost a $200k win by having his buddy in Europe finish off the $1M tourney he started in NYC:
 
http://www.pokerlistings.com/possible-cheater-caught-at-full-tilt-poker-21428
 
A lot of this goes on, but you need to take risk/reward into account.  As the size of your winnings go up, the likelihood that you will be caught sharing your account goes up.  What this means is that, as your expected win goes up, your motivation to share your account goes down.  The obvious conclusion is that if you are willing to share your account, it probably means you aren't planning on doing very well at it.

By Invite Only

I'm looking to have an invite only $500 buy-in $5 entry, dealer's choice tournament at my house on New Year's Eve if anyone is interested? I'll provide all the food and drinks, establish the betting rounds and structure, etc. Play will be limited to two tables or 20 people maximum... The goal here is to get everyone sloppy ass drunk where the winner, assuming not everyone passes out, comes out the champion in the Bouvet Winter Classic. The Central Valley is perfectly located between San Francisco and Los Angeles. Bring a sleeping bag and a pillow as there's plenty of room.

Re-focus

I have been playing more than I planned and more than I should while at school.  It hasn't actually affected my school work too much, but it has affected my play.  A lot of times I try to do work during tournaments or play too late knowing that I need to get up early the next morning.  I think these things have kept me from playing as well as I can at certain times.  Sooo, from now on I am going to attempt to play only one tourney a day during the week and save the high volume days for breaks.  I also want to try and focus more while playing and really try to play every tournament as best I can.  Alright, well that's that, now hopefully we will see the top threes come a little more often now!

Low-limit poker vs. Montana NL poker

This seems to be one of the major issues with Montana and poker as it evolves over time.
 
I listen (mind you I'm usually working or trapped) to these poeple from all different skill levels/experiences of all types of poker games and I can't decide which game is better to play in terms of making the most money: low-limit hold'em or montana NL hold'em ($300 pot cap, if the pot is made before the river, all players just roll thier hands over and they bring the board and whoever wins wins).
 
The big detail I keep hearing is protection of "big hands". Now most of the debate I'm exsposed to is over "why is 36 off cracking my black aces EVERY TIME?" Now it's obvious to me how these low-limit games work. You get 9 players at a table with maybe one or two of them who have a clue, and then the majority of the table is made up of compulsive bad gamblers/donkeys just having fun. I've logged lots of hours playing that game and have seen very consistent positive results.
 
Now lets look at the NL game. You get a few different people at the table. Your 'entertainment' players typically stay away from this game since they don't want to lose thier bankroll on one hand. However, the remaining players at the table are still bad compulsive gamblers with a dose of agression. I don't see a significant difference in how bad or good this game is played. I still watch the black aces get stomped by A-wheel, 36 off, K9 suited.
 
So which game is really more profitable? Yes you can go on the heat and win $1000 at the NL table where you will never do that in one session in a 3-6 holdem game. But you're also not going to lose $150 on one hand when you make all the right desicions and the donkey calls and cracks you anyways. Also, you can read most any poker book and they all have some comment on how much a 'successful' player should be winning in a paticular limit poker game, but I've never read anything about how much you should expect to win at a NL cash game table.
 
PS: if you see me in real life and feel the need to tell me about your "bad beats", first, remove your head from your ass and have a nice piping hot cup of shut the fuck up. Log your bad beats, dont force people to listen to them.

Hand - Analysis

Okay, I'm playing in a tourney.  I watch this hand.  After the hand we debate who is the bigger donkey.  Both players thought they were playing perfect poker.
 
I'll explain the situation and the hands, then let you decide who the bigger donkey is.
 
Button stack 46K - BB stack 26K - Blinds 400/800 75 ante
 
Button raises to 2100
BB calls
 
Flop [3d Qd Jc]
BB bet 3800
SB calls
 
Turn is now [3c]
BB bets 2800
Button raises to 7200
BB calls
 
River [5c], board is now, [3d Qd Jc] [3c][5c]
BB checks
Button moves all in for 15200
SB calls all in for 12922
 
SB rolls over the 4c2c for a flush and wins 50K pot.
Button rolls over K6 off for King high has 20K left.
 
Both players contest they felt weakness with the other so was putting a move on.
 
*note - the Button was playing like an agro, I had notes on him.  The Big Blind was playing realatively tight, hadn't seen much action out of him.
 
I like both plays knowing the hands.  I see how the BB took the 24 against the theif and made a play, got jammed on the turn and had an escape route.  The button did a great job at making a raise on the turn. Either that or fold.  Just don't get why on the river when the BB called his raise he still moved all in.
 
What do you guys think?

Poker Stars

By request I finally added Poker Stars to our Poker Room Reviews Section of online poker sites.
 
For those that play there please rate the site and add your comments.  If you have never played there I highly recommend checking out Poker Stars! In my opinion, besides Full Tilt, it's the best poker site online to play tournaments at.
 
Here is the link for the Poker Stars Review.
