improving my limit play

[pivotal]

Ok well Ive got pokertracker and my VP$IP is around 25%, but my showdown win % is only about 53%, I am making money but not at the rate I would like, it seems as if I lose more money when I play AK, AQ than I win, any tips? stop calling 1 bet with overs?

did you have to buy pokertracker to get all your stats off it?

Oh btw am I seeing too many flops?

[pivotal]

ya, it was definatley worth the money. It has already started to improve my game a ton, I can see what I lose the most money on and such.

[BrianSwa]

when i get some extra money think ill buy it.

I think the flops seen are just a LITTLE high but not too bad. The main thing you need to improve on it seems is post-flop decision making. If you only win 53% of your showdowns, and youre playing sufficiently tight preflop, then you are missing a few pretty big warning signals in post-flop play to muck your hands.

One thing that seems to stand out here is you losing more money than you make with AK, AQ. This tells me you probably fall in love with them and cant get away from them if the flop misses you? Remember, big aces are drawing hands.

While I don't play limit, I think your VPIP is a bit loose. But it's possible your sample size is too small and you're just getting a lot of good pf hands...

What is VPIP???

As to weather to hold on to second pair with like AJ/AQ, depends on how many opponets and how much raise/reraise. If it's just against one player or it's only one bet, it's okay to call for one in my opinion, depends on your limit - cause calling a 1 dollar is a lot different from calling 10 on the river
