This stat is not so clear cut besides making sure you are doing it above 4-5% of the time. What we really want is Check Raise % based on Total Check Raises / Total Times Player could Check Raise. In the original Pokey article he used an overall Check Raise number that Poker Tracker was limited to - it was a representation of Check Raises / Total Actions which isn't terribly useful but it was all that was available. We are going to go back and do some more analysis on steals in part 2 of this article but first we'll look at the last stat in this report which is Check Raise % If you need any insentive to steal more often here it is. This report also breaks it down by position and as you might expect this number should increase as you get closer to the big blind. The Pokey article suggested a minimum of 20% and closer to 30% being ideal for most people. The goal here is generally to take the blinds although often a nice side effect is playing a hand in position which is also a good thing. Raising this number is quite easy - simply tighten your range in early position and open many more hands on the button.Ī steal is a raise from the cutoff, button or small blind in an unopened hand preflop. Based on this you want to be between 2 and about 3.5. Here is the data from the mined database showing once again a strong correlation that high values lead to profitability although being too high is a negative. This is where the Preflop Positional Awareness stat comes in and it is essentially a ratio of your PFR on the button vs PFT from early position when unopened. Instead of looking at overall VPIP we will look at how often you are raising an unopened pot from early position and compare that to how often you are raising an unopened pot from the button. With Holdem Manager we have better ways to look at this data. In the original article it spoke of overall VPIP and how it changed based on early position vs being on the button but the games have changed - you are much more likely to be facing a raise when on the button making this comparison more difficult. The more you play in position (being last to act on each street postflop) the more you will win playing No Limit poker. Playing positionally strong poker is one of the fundamental concepts separating winners from losers. Using the median bb/100 is an effective way of overcoming sample size issues related to bb/100. Note: The database used hands from 4 to 6 handed No Limit and only included players with at least 5000 hands - this resulted in a sample size of about 1800 players.
When a player open from late position, 3bet him instead of cold calling etc. When there are players limping in ahead of you, raise them (or fold) when you would normally call.
If you are in that bottom group you need to raise more often preflop and call less often. What was consistent is that very few people with a ratio less than 0.60 were winning players. Here is the data from the mined database showing a strong correlation that high values lead to profitability although there is a point where not calling once in a while begins to impact your results as well. In todays 6 max games anything close to 50% makes it extremely difficult to be a profitable player. In the original article Pokey suggested your ratio be at least 50% but higher is better.
This tells you how often are you raising preflop out of all the times you put in money preflop. What we are looking for here is your PFR% divided by VPIP% and in the report you just ran it appears as a PFR / VPIP value. Use these results to fill out this chart:ĭo You Have Sufficient preflop Aggression? If you want to filter for date ranges or stakes then you can do that as well.

Stats are broken down by Heads Up, 6 Max and Full Ring. In the Reports tab select the Report Name dropdown and run the report “Plugging Leaks 02 – The Basics”. The original post from Pokey can be found here: Pokey's Article There are many winning players with stats outside of the normal ranges however there are many, many more losing players with stats outside of the normal ranges so if you have any doubt then most likely you should be aiming to keep your stats consistent with other winnings players. If you are new to the game you should try to spend some time ensuring that your stats are within the ranges suggested below. The following article was originally written by Pokey on 2+2 for Poker Tracker but it has been adapted with his permission to work with Holdem Manager and updated with new information and range / results from a data mined database along with a number of preset filters that you'll find useful in various situations. When looking at your game, especially early on in your poker education, it is important to ensure that your basic stats are all correct.
