Texas Calculatem and Poker Office Blog

I got roasted in my last session for a variety of reasons. I shall outline some stuff that I'll do to try and give me better future returns.

Problem 1: Bad Cards.

Solution: Keep on grinding away and let the long term odds do their stuff!

Problem 2: Folding to aggressive players.

Solution: Select passive tables. Coral Poker do not provide table stats, so to do this I shall begin a session by openning 4 tables 30 minutes prior to play and using Poker Office's Live Tracker to monitor the tables. Based on the stats collected I can select tables tables with a low pre-flop raise statistic. What this benchmark will be I don't know so I'll have to experiment...

I will also give preference to tables with a high percentage of players who see the flop. These loose players should theoretically be more profitable as they'll be playing weaker openning hands.

Problem 3: Too passive post-flop - very susceptible to aggressive players.

Solution: Not sure how to do this other than with discretionary play. Though a possibility could be to loosen up the settings on Calculatem. The post-flop play is currently set too tightly.

In order to reduce the affect of Problem 2 I shall have to select passive tables.
