What are the ideal values in the statistics? by spainfull

Is rare week in which not a thread in the forums asking what the numbers are ideal for a given level and form. Before proceeding, make clear that the article and those that follow are written keeping in mind the tables NL cash , but most explanations can be used with any modality.

First address the general question of the ideal values, because it is an eternal debate in which players tend to not agree, and finish with some necessary qualifications. One of the problems that lead to these discrepancies is that many believe that his style is the best because they work and, by inductive reasoning, they think it should be true for the rest because their data well for itself. This last reason has considerable weight in the absence of definitive answers, The real problem is that it is a question impossible to answer correctly .

For a start, because There are no perfect values. This is because they depend on a vast number of factors, which obviously can not be taken into account in its entirety. Depending on the configuration of each table, ie the types of players who are seated there, his style of play at that time, our position on them, the quantity of chips you have, the letters we are scattered, our recent actions, rhythm and flow of the table, etc.., our game is going to have to be in one way or another: more aggressive or more passive, more or less selective bluff more or less in short for all you have to concentrate on is choosing a strategy appropriate to the situation that arises in each moment .

All the factors listed above are different depending on the room you are playing the level you’re on the same schedule in which to make the meetings, etc. Although normally, if it is a routine game (same room, same time, same tables, same levels, same opponents) characteristics as a whole will be similar and may have a homogeneous style that would be somewhat easier to calculate a approximate a range of ideal values. But regardless of this, do not forget that the ultimate goal is not about numbers immaculate , but the largest number of possible gains .

  That is, we should not be obsessed with statistics ideals, but to play each hand in an optimal way (at least the best I know). It is obvious, but sometimes seem to forget that each of the hands that play after the statistics that shape will be reflected in the programs. Playing in a perfect way statistics are obtained perfect, neither more nor less. What must be avoided at all costs is the reverse way, or play a certain way in order to take some concrete statistics. The important thing is not get that magic number that has been read in a forum that is the ideal, but the reason why you should have that value and recognize that you know when to use concrete action that will make the statistics closer to that value.

In addition, each player has his own style and are usually just happy if it moves in a few defined parameters. You may gain more if we play a certain way, but it is quite possible to lose money transition and this was longer than expected. It is essential that the player understand why it is better to have different values in a statistically analyzing situations carefully and execute movements to achieve this. And for that, too, that changes must be made gradually, so soft, smooth: adding (or removing) a few hands to go up if no one has entered the pot, with 3 bet < > with a slightly wider range of players most aggressive … In later chapters detail with more concrete values all these concepts.

Now, before closing, the nuances.

While you can not determine the ideal values, it can bring about more or less limited range within which it should adjust our game. How do I know these numbers? A good way is to have a large database of players that are usually shared tables and analyze the statistics of the biggest winners and those classified as having good players. Surely, whether or not the ideals, values of these players are a good framework for comparison. The problem is that the number of hands is rarely sufficient to determine whether players are winners …

While entries close look at the question of earnings to the level of the player, it suffices to say for the moment, which will require an enormous amount of hands a player to know their real earnings ratio. For the most famous rooms, especially from

NL100 There PokerTableRatings the page where you can find an acceptable degree of accuracy the number of hands a player and their gains in these hands. On this page, you can find more players and winners at the room you are playing, and taking into account the rest of statistics converge much faster than the ratio of earnings (ie, just a lot more shows small), you can get the range of values that are probably best for a given level and living room.

On the other hand, one can also generalize by saying that normally

players are more selective of what they should and that the winners tend to have values more aggressive than the average. Is, what is normal to change the game to be more aggressive and less selective. But you must be very careful not to change dramatically to reflect on each action, try different opponents and situations, see how they react and mainly look at the game of good players, what movements do, when they operate, against whom, and why.

Summary

but there is no perfect number of hands played perfectly. Despite this, the statistics we can reveal errors and indicated that probably could make more money (or at least play better) if they Data out of range of the best players with whom you share tables. More on this in future deliveries .
