What I find sad is that a lot of what you mentioned I instinctively know, just from playing the micros so much, but somehow I've never been able to act on this knowledge. I've been reading it over and over, hoping that it will make a lasting impression. Thank you.
This may be a terrible question, since this topic has been covered somewhat in your guide and in this thread, but I want to make sure I have this right since this is my biggest leak:
When you raise from LP, get a caller, whiff the flop, you will usually c-bet. If he calls your c-bet, and you don't improve on the turn, you are no longer putting money into the pot, correct?
This is where I lose a lot of chips. I don't know when to give up. The problem I find is, when you c-bet the flop and then surrender the hand after being called, the pot is taken away from you nearly 100% of the time. When villains take notice of this, you start to get exploited...when you c-bet they know they can take you off, and when you stay in the hand, they know you have something and fold. Grrrr.
Hi.
Do you use a HUD? If you do, check out the "fold to Turn C-bet" stat. I´ve noticed that villains floats a lot in position. But many of them just call your flop C-bet and shut down if you bet the Turn as well, "..because everyone is C-betting the flop..".
If villain has stats like: "fold to C-bet"=30 and "fold to Turn C-bet"=70, then go ahead and bet the turn as well.
McAvoy has a good point in that you cant win every pot, but I really think you shoud do this, not allways, but sometimes with air, sometimes with marginal holdings with some showdown value agains this kind of villains.
BTW sircuddles, your guide is great reading! Well done and thanks for doing this
