C-bet stats are pretty useful as well even as a beginner

...and definitely don't focus too heavily on the stats of the player if you haven't played a substantial number of hands with them.

Also reviewing your sessions and making notes, if you're anything like me, will make a huge difference to your game. It's a fantastic habit to get into.

After spending nearly an hour studying the stats its very clear that I lose far to many pots protecting the SB and the BB!!

Game needs some serious looking at!!

GENERAL PREFLOP Hold em 6 max

VERY High VPIP:345 / 880 for 39.2%(avg 21.1%)

Normal PFR:149 / 880 for 16.9%(avg 16.1%)

VERY High 3Bet:32 / 284 for 11.3%(avg 6.3%)

High Squeeze:4 / 53 for 7.5%(avg 2.8%)

This software is very interesting!!

You absolutely cannot underestimate the work you need to put in with HEM (1 or 2) in order to get your moneys worth. I try to spend 1 hour for every 6 playing.. I currently dont quite meet this but I did do a full day analysing hands and my own play recently and found it really helpful trying to spot some spots I get myself into a lot.

All if the software on offer is only as powerful as the effort you put in to learning how to use it.

I use HEM2, TN, NC, pokerstove, pokerstrategy.com equiplab, and YouTube for the music!

IMO You lose too many pots in these positions purely because you are playing too many pots in these positions! Granted 880 is a really small sample but a VPIP of >35% is a bit on the fishy side! However as 2/6 hands are in the blinds its natural for this Stat to be higher than a full ring player. (pretty sure HEM2 has a feature where you can get the figures to automatically adjust between 6max and full ring.)

  Its such a common leak for players to lose excessive pots from the blinds so I wouldn't worry about it too much! Just try and make a conscious effort to narrow your range in the blinds and play the spots more aggresively and you'll be VPIP < 30% by the time you have played another 1000 hands.

 Can not possibly emphasise how much HEM can develop your game though, just try not be results orientated until you have a proper sample!

This could be a complete game changer, at first I thought it was a bit expensive but I think within the first few weeks it will pay for itself.

Its one of those things that I am going to have to invest it at some point so why not sooner rather than later!!

You'll look back in 6 months and think, what the hell was I doing! =] Money well spent!
