So I'm currently not playing too well, I've been looking in HEM to try to figure out what I've been doing wrong. I think I'm going through to showdowns too often with marginal hands.

As you can see from the graph below, i am taking lots and lots of small pots before showdown, but my showdown losses more than outweigh what I'm getting from the small pots

I think I may def be playing too loose atm, overall, I have been 34.1/22.5 and only 3-bet 2% of the time! in my last 1000 hands I've been 28.7/18.4, maybe still too loose, but my 3-bet percentage is barely any higher, although I am up for the last 1000 hands.

What strength hands should I be willing to go to showdown with, because I'm clearly going too light currently.

I think a lot of my leak may be from not 3 betting correctly, the graph below shows all my winnings where I could have 3-bet

But here's what happens because I didn't 3-bet vs where I did

No 3-bet

3-bet

What hands should I be 3-betting? I tend not to 3-bet tighter opponents when they have raised, unless I have AA or KK. And I will usually only expand that range to AK against looser opponents. What range should I realistically be 3-betting?

What are you playing? Watching some videos, and reading articles would certainly help.

Ooops forgot that, NL5 mostly, on FTP and some PKR.

I'm working through the videos atm as my game had gotten pretty stale. It does appear to be helping with a slight clawing back of my losses!


call less hands, start folding more postflop judging on your redline, gl

Maybe you are bluffing to much?

i think that could be a problem, induced by the fact i've been playing too many hands that i shouldn't.

I've been trying to 3-bet my strong hands more, and cut out playing a lot of hands. Seems to have had a positive effect over the last 1000 hands

call only with pocket pairs that you dont want to 3-bet vs aggressor.
rest of the hands you play only 3-bet/fold so your VPIP should go down and 3-bet go up a little. my 3-bet is 4.9%. your should be in the same range. Ohh and dont make big bluffs and dont catch bluffs. in NL5 its not about bluffing. GL :)
