“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

Not Playing Aggressively Pre-Flop
Problem:
You are calling too often pre-flop, instead of raising.
Description:
Compared to how often you are limping (just calling the big blind), you are not raising enough. This is allowing your opponents to see the flop cheaply, with inferior hands.
Cost:
$10.00 per hour in a $2/$5 No-Limit game
Recommendation:
Play 50 hands and practice being dealt only raising hands.

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).

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:
$5.00 per hour in a $2/$5 No-Limit game
Recommendation:
Play 100 hands from the Button 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 Big Pocket Pairs (QQ-TT), when we compared your win rate with the win rates of other APT users.
Description:
These hands hold significant value, and should be played aggressively, especially on heads up flops. In a multi-way pot, pairs like TT often are played for set value.
Cost:
$5.00 per hour in a $2/$5 No-Limit game
Recommendation:
Play 50 hands only being dealt Big Pocket Pairs. If you automatically fold when an overcard flops, you are not playing this hand correctly.
You were not winning as much as you should be with Small Suited Connectors (65s-32s), when we compared your win rate with the win rates of other APT users.
Description:
These connectors look tempting, but should often be discarded in most games. However they can occasionally be played from late position.
Cost:
$3.00 per hour in a $2/$5 No-Limit game
Recommendation:
Play 50 hands only being dealt Small Suited Connectors. Beware the danger of making your hand, but losing a big pot to a higher straight or flush. While this doesn't happen often, it is costly when it does.
