“Nothing good comes in life or athletics unless a lot of hard work has preceded the effort. Only temporary success is achieved by taking short cuts.” - Roger Staubach

Going to Flop Too Often
Problem:
You are playing too many hands.
Description:
You are seeing the flop more often than recommended. Not only is this costly pre-flop, but it can cost you post-flop by getting you into difficult situations with inferior hands.
Cost:
$10.00 per hour in a $2/$5 No-Limit game
Recommendation:
Play 200 hands and practice with an advisor who plays a solid game pre-flop. The advisor will appear for each hand pre-flop. Pay attention to what hands you should be discarding.

When you go to the showdown, you are not winning as often as you should be.
Description:
We noticed that when you go to the showdown, you do not have the best hand as often as our most winning players would. Some of these hands that you showed down should have been discarded on the turn or river.
Cost:
$11.25 per hour in a $2/$5 No-Limit game
Recommendation:
Play 100 hands and practice being dealt hands that are mostly playable, at least for a single bet. Before going to the turn or river with one of these hands, give some additional thought to whether the hand is strong enough to win in a showdown (especially if the pot is going to be big).

Trouble hand: Ace-Queen (both suited and unsuited)
Problem:
You were not winning as much as you should be with Ace-Queen (both suited and unsuited) (AQ), when we compared your win rate with the win rates of other APT users.
Description:
Ace-Queen is a premium hand, but in a raised pot you must be cautious about being dominated by AK. For that reason, it cannot be played as aggressively in as many situations as AK.
Cost:
$5.00 per hour in a $2/$5 No-Limit game
Recommendation:
Play 50 hands only being dealt Ace-Queen (both suited and unsuited). When you miss the flop, look for additional outs you might have (overcards, and backdoor nut straight and nut flush draws).
You were not winning as much as you should be from Late Position (Cutoff,Button), when we compared your win rate with the win rates of other APT users.
Description:
This is the prime place to be at the table. In No-Limit Holdem, position is everything. From the cutoff, you can often raise to knock out the button and assure yourself the best position on all future streets.
Cost:
$1.00 per hour in a $2/$5 No-Limit game
Recommendation:
Play 100 hands from the Cutoff position. When folded to you, you should be raising to steal the blinds with a wide range of hands - for example, any hand with an Ace, any two broadway cards (A-K-Q-J-T), a King with a suited card, etc).
You were not winning as much as you should be with Small Pocket Pairs (55-22), when we compared your win rate with the win rates of other APT users.
Description:
In typical games, these can only be played profitably from late position. Average players often lose money with this hands by playing them too often.
Cost:
$1.00 per hour in a $2/$5 No-Limit game
Recommendation:
Play 50 hands only being dealt Small Pocket Pairs. Except in loose passive games, you shouldn’t be limping, then calling a pre-flop raise out of position.
