Internet Poker Grinder: "The Ideal Opponent / The Ideal Game

When you first start to take notice of playing styles or psychological profiles, the easiest type of player to spot is the maniac. This guy is loose and aggressive. He plays more hands relative to your self. He bets aggressively, and often overplays his hand. Once you learn how to play the maniac you might start looking exclusively for games with maniacs. It's a winning strategy and easy to execute. But the maniac is not your ideal opponent and these are not the ideal games. What you'll get is lot more variance in your results, which is to flirt with tilt. Better to stick to "normal" games than to do that.

The ideal opponents are just as loose as the maniac, but passive. They play more hands relative to you and call more than they raise. Commonly tagged as 'calling stations,' they usually are not aggressive enough when they have an edge. They are harder to find than a maniac, but you can start by looking for loose passive games. Look for games that have a lot of players seeing the flop and small to medium sized pots. "

Once you’ve found the loose/passive game you can start watching individual players. The stats I look at are:
1) how many times they see the flop
2) their ratio of pre-flop raises to pre-flop calls
3) their ratio of post flop raises to post-flop calls
4) their ratio of wins per flop they had to contribute to see.




What sites does PT support?
How hard is it to get non-supported sites converted to PT?
Can I get the template from this guy?

What stats are important to look for in PT? I probably need to actually RTFM for PT, and see what the stats are.

SO much to learn.
