Tableselection

Tableselection is the process of selecting the most profitable tables out of the available ones.
Thus selecting the most profitable tables can boost your hourly winrate.
Our products make tableselection and datamining easy and fast.

Our products display the list of available pokertables, the players sitting at that tables, along with their statistics, as well as the tables averages, without having to open the table window.
The statistics are retrieved from your local database(s). Pokertracker PostgreSQL/Access, PokerTracker3, Holdem Manager, PokerStrategy Elephant, Pokermanager Firebird and PokerOffice mySQL databases are being supported.

Brief summary:

* Display the list of available poker tables, along with the table averages statistics
* Display the players sitting at the poker tables, along with their statistics
* Custom player/table colorprofiles to detect "fishes" and "sharks" on the fly.
Define colorprofiles so that you can easily detect players you want to play against, and players you want to avoid
* Custom player scoring to refine and fit the tableselection criteria to your needs
* Open a table out of our product by a simple click
* Join a table out of our product by a simple click
* Datamining in order to gather statistics about your possible opponents

You can use a Trial Version , you can find that at http://www.SpadeIt.com

I am a satisfied customer of it and with one quick glance, I can see which tables are Fishy(loose) and which ones are very tight.

[x] Short Post, Learning Day

* Watched NL200 SSS Session Review of Xarry2
* Learned some things through Articles
* Restudy some article
* Sample Hands
* Playing Donkeys Tournament, got Donked out (A9vsTT, Trips on Flop, I hit Toppair. Me shortstacked)
* Played some Nl25 SSS while playing BoD, UTG Clickraise, me got AKs. Typical AA slowplay from UTG....
* Helped DeKuip whenever I could with his English SSS coaching (or was I a pain in the arse by sitting next to him on a table ?)
* DataMined 11,000 hands on NL100 PartyPoker for next day

That's basically what I did on Sunday, I also had to recover from clubbing ♦

I also updated my first post with relevant info (Music , new goals etcetera)

This was my sunday in a nutshell so tomorrow I will start my new week (and yours start too)

Goodnight,

[x] Repercussions from Above!

The NL100 soil is quite known for 90%~ but the amount of players waiting on the Lists makes me wonder if it's worth. waiting for the tables. However knownplayers on NL50 is a merely 75%~. Anyways, I played too long yesterday in my opinion without a break. Up till now I didnt had the time to look at my hands so the you certainly get an AfterMath

I played in the evening en mined some hours before that. I mined a total of 5k hands on both NL50/100. I judged some hands on the English/Dutch forums of fellow SSS'ers. I entertained myself by playing Team Fortress 2 and PokerTube.

I am trying to balance Poker life again by a 60 playing / 40 learning ratio or reversed if I am aware that I do something wrong.

My start of the session went very well, I managed to win a couple of 4bb raise preflop, c-bet, Villan folds-Situations.

I always differ my continuation bet based on Villain's Fold Flop % and WTS, this can be a good thing or not. The good thing is that I am not A) Pot committed when betting 2/3, B) I know enough if he reraises and I missed the flop. The bad side can be that I do not balance my play so I can become too predictable. It also depends on the kind of Flop I see.

I ended the day again in the red numbers, this time it was - at first sight! - a mix of Variance, Software difficulties and my own temper/sighs sometimes.
If for example I get it all in with TT and see an Eight on the River and Villain shows the Snowmen, how am I suppose to do about it? I did the right thing, it's all Poker baby ♦

Also a mixture of misinterpretations and/or Dumb plays occurred due my extensive amount of playing:
Known players:
[tg]Position_Stack:hands/vp$ip/RaisePreflop/AF/WTS/ORL/BBvsSteal/W$SD;Hero$19,00:///////;BB$44,83:19/32 /5 /1,5/29 /50 /-/100 ;MP3$48,73:25/50 /0 /2,3/36 /0 /-/50 ;BU$117,20:2.435/25 /9 /1,2/30 /33 /78 /53 ;[/tg]

Preflop: Hero is SB with 8♦, 8♠
3 folds, MP3 calls $1,00, CO folds, BU calls $1,00, Hero calls $0,50, BB checks.

Flop: ($4,00) 2♥, 2♠, 3♣ (4 players)
Hero bets $3,00, BB folds, MP3 calls $3,00, BU folds.

Turn: ($10,00) 6♥ (2 players)
Hero bets $6,00, MP3 raises to $12,00, Hero raises to $15,00 (All-In), MP3 calls $3,00.

River: ($40,00) 9♠
Final Pot: $40,00

Results follow (highlight to see):
Hero shows two pairs, eights and deuces (8d 8s)
MP3 shows three of a kind, deuces (Kc 2c)

Afterthoughts, when seeing the stats once again, Mp3 is a fish in position compared to me. Button OpenLimps which is rather weak especially with an ATS of 33%..
Should I have raised, I had to shove it whenever I was headsup postflop.
Although Adv. SSS says checking it passively with Eights, I could have played it more aggressively and according to the Basic stuff and with a simple glance at this hand again, I definitly would have raised it OOP to Isolate someone!. % chance that he will hit a card higher than mine 8 would be 33% to 20%?
Ugh I have to drink more Bullit but with Mp3's holding, come on give me a break lol

I am ending this blog post with a hand at the end of the session, I was quite stunned about the outcome, in fact I already thought I won the hand so I unchecked postBB as I was UTG. I had to laugh about it afterwards but I soon ended the session as I played too long without taking a good break.

Hello Gerv what is your bakroll for nl100?

Hi
I need 30 x 20 x $1 to move up but Im up by 40bb so its hanging around $650 atm

Gerv, how many tables do you play? Is it comfortable to you to play on 9+ tables at the same time? I got some problms when i open 9-12 tables.

Hello

As I wrote before in my earlier posts ( I think previous page ) I think my comfort level is between 6, 7 or 8 tables. I simply didnt tried 10+ but I had played on 9 tables once in a while back in the days. The result was that I lost overview and thus made wrong decisions.

I simply play on 6 tables right now. On Party, the amount of tables on NL100 is limited + I table select the 6 juiciest tables on that limit.

love the blog Gerv!!! Oh and team fortress 2!!! What a game!!

Thanks!, Do you play it as well? I always play on 193.238.84.3:27050 and my nickname is just 'Gerv'. I got a microphone too so I talk frequently while playing
I only need a graphics config since my FPS is just a crappy 40-50 (7600GT AMd x2 4200+)

Hi Gerv,
Can you give me the advanced starting hand chart that you use?
Thank you

Terms of the HeadAdmins, I am forced to remove it

I agree with their arguments because I got this from the gold+ forums on the German forums, however I am willing to help you in private if you have the necessary status.

Thank you again
Now i need only to understand the german ♦

I've never seen that chart before. Where did you find it? Seems kinda like a crucial error that I've never seen it before... Looks so damn helpful! I've been trying to work out many of these situations in my head and pokerstoving them afterwards to work out what to do and only now do i find out there was a handy guidelines chart! Would have made things so much simpler for me.

Are there any other vital resources from the german section that i may not have seen before?

I would like to see some of the material there as well as some explanations of the above chart.
Anyway thanks a lot Gerv!

someones got to post this sort of stuff in the english furoms the hours I spent figuring all this out when there was a chart there for me all along.

ho-ho-ho guys easy! ♦

I will make a short review of how I play with these gifts from the German Language
The chart is pretty simple and easy-to-use but I am about to hunt the fishes down on Nl100, seems juicy right now.

Cheers

English part of the site is the most crapy part of this site.
I know germans (and other 'big'nations in europe) have a problem in admitting that english is mostly used language, and that they mostly dont wont to speak it, but c'mon I'm not convinced that there arent enough people to translate few 1-2 page articles, and to make couple more forum sections.
Are these people on english part of the site less valuable for the PS?
We earn some money to PS, maybe not as much as germans or russians but better material means more income to players and PS too.
Anyway, PS is the best poker related site I've been to so I would only like to see some more material translated.

Dear tesla

Please know that this SHC is made by PS members/players so it is not designed by PokerSTrategy itself, thats why it Isnt translated to English
Therefore the German forums got a specific Forum area where only golds can access this content. That's why I removed this from my blog.

I will ask Soy/Tribun if its possible to have a gold section only for discussing strategy for SSS only.

I vote for SSS gold section ♦
Tomorrow I will be gold to

is this the chart you spoke off Gerv ??/
