Many people use
HoldemManager to track their results and analyze their games. They have a 15 day free trial if you want to test the software out and you can get $25 off if you click on the
My Account link at the top of this page. Another popular program is
PokerTracker3.
When posting your stats for analysis:
- MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF HANDS. TRY NOT TO POST WITHOUT AT LEAST 10K HANDS IN THE SAMPLE
- Don't post stats in here just to brag you had a good weekend. Use the
Bragging and BS'ing forum.
- Remember that we're looking at stats to plug leaks; you're not changing your game to make your stats "look better" or fit into a certain range, you're changing your game to play better and make more money. The stats will follow after that.
HoldemManager has a huge amount of stats and it can be a little overwhelming deciding what stats to look at and what stats to post. There are a number of stats I'd recommend including in your post.
Firstly go to the following page in HoldemManager:
If you press the green "+" button at the bottom, a new window will open and you can select which stats you'd like to include. By using the SHIFT and CTRL keys you can select multiple stats at the same time and then press "Save and Close" to include those stats.
The stats I'd recommend including in the "Position" section are:
Net Amount Won
Big Blinds per 100
Standard Deviation Big Blinds
$ Won WO Showdown
VPIP
PFR
3Bet%
Fold to 3bet
Call 3bet
Raise 3bet
Flop Cbet%
Flop Cbet Sucess %
Flop vs. raise Fold %
Turn Cbet%
Turn Cbet Success %
Turn vs Raise Fold %
River Cbet%
River Cbet Success %
Fold to Flop Cbet
Raise Flop Cbet
Fold To Turn Cbet
Raise Turn Cbet
Fold to River Cbet
Won When Saw Flop
Went To Showdown
Won Showdown
After you've included the stats you can filter by going to Filter -> Edit which will bring up a new page. Under "# Players" select "Equal To" and "2" to remove any 6max hands from your sample as these can distort your stats.
You can also use the date filter to select the most recent hands. Make sure you keep a large sample size though, at least 10k hands.
After this hit the "refresh" button to see all your stats. You can now take screenshots and post them. To take a screenshot open up the relevant page in HoldemManager and maximize the window to cover your screen. Then press the "Print Screen" key:
Open up MSPaint or another image editing program and press CTRL+V or else right mouse click and select "paste". You should now be able to see the stats. On the left of MSPaint, towards the top, there's a dotted rectangle. Select it and then use your mouse to outline the information you want to post:
Right click and select "Copy To". Navigate to your desktop and give the file a name you'll remember. Make sure the file type is a JPEG as other file types are bigger and take longer to load up, select save.
At the top of this page select the "My Tools" option and choose "My Poker Images" from the drop down menu. On the new page select "Browse", navigate to your desktop and find the relevant file. Select it and then press the "Upload" button. You should see a green banner with "successful!" if it worked. If it doesn't try again and if it's still not working PM Tickner to let him know about the problem.
You should be able to see a thumbnail of your uploaded image and beside it will be two lines of code. The top one has the [ IMG] tags around it, copy this and paste it into your post. Repeat this process for any other images you want to upload and you're ready to post.
