Happened to me too yesterday, dude...My eyes were in pain...Those long sessions in front of the PC are killer. Today I took a day off and went into the city to do some study.

Found it too hard to fold turn when I hit top pair.

Obv snapfold in hindsight when I think about how KK/QQ plays the turn.

River is too thin even vs loose passive. Literally targeting 89 exclusively.

Think turn is just an xf vs relatively passive player.

What are villains stats?

Hey also, question; you mentioned you are now adjusting c-bet values depending on the flop texture and not your hand. I am assuming this means wetter flops = bigger c-bets?

Precisely. Regardless of my hand strength. If it's vs a massive fish I'll usually just go bigger with it though.

The player was a little aggro but not many hands. (They had AA btw)

Think the turn is a snap given we only lose to KQ which he doesn't have much of. Flop is a bit iffy. I think the player had been min-raising a high frequency which lead me to peel (hoping they'd shut down). But I agree in a vacuum flop should be a fold.

I've started fiddling with betsizes as well, and sometimes trying to induce raises from aggro players by betting your standard lower sizing (if you got one) with strong hands (checking raise percentages is good before deciding on the betsizing) works like a charm.

I think you should ISO this pre tbh. But yeah re the bet size thing, I used to do like 59% pot when bluffing or semi bluffing, 75% pot with value vs regs/unks and 89% pot with value vs fish.

I've changed my bet sizes completely to pertain to board texture. e.g. half pot vs dry board, 3/4 pot vs wet board. Obv other factors to consider also.
