A New Approach

Well, it's been a few days since I started using the trial version of Poker Tracker. Now, generally, my thoughts are that it forces you into playing "within the box," and it doesn't really allow you to play your style--it basically forces you to watch statistics, which are the biggest liars of all. The first batch I imported in rated me as "Loose-Aggressive/Passive," and even though I was winning, it got to me a bit. I was being labeled something that I never thought I'd be. After all, I was by far the tightest player in my little group.

So I reacted. No, fellow Bloggers, not by throwing the computer through a wall. I tightened up. Nothing worse than A9o, and even that usually only limping. I played two $5+0.50 SnG's this morning, and what happened? First place, second place. +EV. Now, PT rates me as "Semi-Loose Aggressive/Aggressive," and I feel better about my game. I improved my bankroll significantly, all by following the recommendations of PT. Maybe I will buy it after all...
