OMG OPR Statistics


It was only several hours before Chipaccrual posted on his blog about his OPR statistics that I was looking at mine too (probably more like "great nerds" as opposed to "great minds). Some of the figures tend to be a bit confusing. One in particular is the OPR rating and rank. Are these just "gimikey" or do they mean anything?

Does a rating of +90% mean your really good? Is being ranked in the top 6% of their ranking system mean you have a talent?


I"ve been playing on PokerStars since 2009 and have very varied results in this time. There is probably reasons for this due to work/social/married life, and I"ll break this down over the next few weeks (hopefully). Firstly I will post my overall results since I started in 2009. Feel free to comment on what standard of player you would consider me given the statistics available (don"t worry about offending me, I"m probably too thick to let it bother me):


              My Results            Standard
Early               10%                   (10%)
EM                 23%                   (20%)
Mid.               37%                   (40%)
ML                 21%                   (20%)
Late                 9%                   (10%)

MTT                              ROI        ITM          ITM%
Multi Table 11-45        -15%    4/47        9%
Multi Table 46-180        7%    31/291     11%
Multi Table 181-         -63%   10/75       13%
OVERALL                      -9%    45/413     11%



(You think these stats are bad? Wait until you see it broken down!)

£5.50 feeder into a qualifier for a GPS Tour Seat:

So, I"m down to the final 5 with 3 seats up for grabs. I am chip leader with aprox 24K in chips (55K in play).

I"m dealt 88 and raise 3x to 1.5K, it folds round to the shortstack on the BB with about 7K who shoves. I call:

       88 v J9: J on the flop

Now with about 17K I raise 3x again to 1.5K in the SB with AT (folded round to me) BB shoves with about 8K, I call:

       AT v KQ: K on the flop

Now the short stack I shove with A2 and get called by the BB:

       A2 v KJ: Flop 933, Turn 9, River K

The question is, should I have sat back and waited for two players to lose? Could I or should I have folded any of these hands? Or do I just put them down to variance?

(fortunately I bagged a £55 ticket the other night, so I still have a chance of winning a seat)

Swinebag:
this is pretty terrible sattelite play from you here col (apart from the last hand)

you have a seat locked up, so you should only really be targetting the midstacks, better still target no one and fold into the seats. You should not be risking anything where you are most likely flipping in the first hand.

make your opening raises smaller as well in the later stages. 2 - 2.5x will normally do the trick

If this was a normal tourney then all the hands are pretty standard (though I just shove the second one in the SB)

thinsy147:
Thanks for the reply Rob. It did cross my mind to do nothing but its difficult... Would you really fold 88?

I"m slowly learning, I think!
My online game seems to be coming on pretty good, I"m even having good runs in the huge field tournaments.
The feeders into satellites are generally going good too. I just hope I can turn one of these satellite games into a live seat one day soon.

Stack sizes would help but it seems a great spot for you to bubble abuse the hell outta the other 4 players. No need to 3x raise though, I"d likely open min raise a wide range and expect to take down lots of pots preflop. The key to this strategy is to bet small and often but fold to a reraise with all but the strongest of hands.
