Rate my Play

[Jay67s]

I have played Texas hold em in live games at casinoes, and I have just started playing online. I have played about 21 hours at Party Poker, playing 5-10. I have made about $350 dollars so far. I have poker tracker to track my play. (I have actually moved my account up another $150 with the bonus)

I feel that I need to be more aggressive after the flop, but so far I feel I am doing pretty well. I only play one table at the moment. Am I on the right track, am I a fish? Should I move to 10-20.

I see less than 25% of the flops, I win about 10% of the hands I am dealt. I win about 40% of the hands I put money in (other than blinds).

Any thougts are welcome

I suggest you read the post entitled "Bankroll Management". If you only have a few hundred, I don't think $5-$10 is where you oughta be.

Edit: I don't know why I made calculations based on a 5/10 table having a $75 buy-in, but I did. That's why it looked like I was insane. I'll try harder to think a complete thought next time.

I play $5-$10 limit -- not NL --- I bought in with $500 now I have around $1000.

These numbers mirror mine at my current stakes. I tend to think that by the time I go to higher stakes I'll want a VP$IP a bit lower - 20% or so, and a resultant W$WSF that's a bit higher - preferrably over 50%.

That's what I'd want though. Not what I can reach. In limit, you might be able to afford seeing a few more flops, so yeah...I approve

You are furiously under-bankrolled.

You need atleast 3k to play those stakes.

If you go bust, don't be suprised. (A bit harsh, but you're making a big mistake right now)

Lets not worry about my initial bankroll, if I need more I got it

You need to worry about your initial bankroll.

How much more do you got? If you can spare 3k, then the stake you're playing is fine.

Also, we can't really draw many conclusions from the info you gave us. We need more info. Hand histories, PT stats, the works.
