Take in what retribution writes, but IMO EV graphs are a waste of time, want a real good EV graph, be the last one to bet, simple, your stats clearly show you are playing loose passive. Position

Posted by Davoodoo: I can help you to read the graph : You are exactly 131.89 � poorer since you started playing 29155 hands ago
lol....finnish joker...I deserve this answer as I rarely take something serious .....anyway I am about +€ 400 after those 30K hands (Vip Systemc, leaderboards and other benefits) infact I was surprised when I uploaded the hands into HM and saw the graph ending negative.
-----
first of all many many thanks to everyone posting here for you contributes: this is exactly what I am looking for...and don't worry, beat me hard, I won't get offended otherwise I will be stimulated to get a better player.
One question: reading my stats did you consider I am only playing 6-handed cash game? I'm sure you did but ...and yes, as someone noticed, I was multitablig 4 to 6x since the very first day
anyway the first 15K hands I played worse than the second 15K and had also a really bad luck swing. had a break for some days, read something (just basic matters) and came back and effectively something was changing.
I'm considering to use HM while playing (never done until now) which stats you suggest to put live HUD , considering I would be confused to put up too much meat on the fire?

Really, the default HUD settings are just fine, there really is no need to tweak anything at all.
Be forewarned, setting up the HUD for party poker is annoying as hell, it seems like every time a 9max table drops below 7 players, the HUD garbles up until 7 players are seated again
Really the biggest info you should look at when playing are VPIP, Agression % and aggression factor, pre flop raise, and fold to 3-bet. The rest of the stats, imho, are arbitrary numbers depending on your understanding of them.

I cant link to the youtube videos explaining the holdemmanager HUD and wich stats are the most important to be shown because of the forum rules.
But go to youtube and simply search for "holdem manager", this is imo the easiest and fastest way to learn about hm HUD.

Hmmm, what exactly is the issue you're coming across? Posting screen shots, as well as version you are using could be helpful.

Magatt, whenever I am playing too loose it is because I haven't had a good hand in a while, I get bored and then I start doing things you shouldn't like calling big raises with poor hands, etc. I find that if I am multitabling I always have one table that has at least a decent hand, and it is easier overall to keep my focus and be more selective in my starting hand range. The trick with multitabling is not to play so many tables that you can't keep your focus, but not so few that you get bored when you are dealt garbage hole cards over a long period of time. GL!

I'd def suggest having a look at hj/co/btn > sb/bb ranges ( calling and raising/3/4betting ) and strats. In the sense that you seem to be losing quite a large chunk in the bb, your pfr is v low in the bb too..
You get to showdown lots and lots huh??
Do you play a smallball style by any chance?? Im guessing you quite often see flops and turns but fold out unless you think you are far ahead??
A few tweaks and you will be laughing my friend, solid numbers. Might not be busting open the bank vaults but, solid, solid numbers. Keep working and learning, you have clearly got the time and patience to make this work for you.
