this hand is 5 hands in, nothing has happened that i wouldn't describe as standard. most of you probably think that i overanalyze this hand, but i hope somebody nice will read it and help me anyways (yes i mean you, palinca!).
i won't discuss the turn as i think i misplayed the flop, which makes turn discussion superfluent.


preflop: i think my raising is compared to be standard, although i am thinking of going up to 200. i noticed lately that my 3bet success at the 20 lvl is around 33% over a sample of 50k hands.

flop: i think i am leaking in this spot in general. my default nowadays is to c/f those kind of flops when i totally miss, like KQ, AQ,AK. is this a leak? i just feel that my cbet success is insanely low and i have to c/f those hands on most turns, ignoring the possibility of bluffing off half my stack readless.

in hindsight, i dont like my cbet size. it leaves me with 1.5 psb on the turn, which is going to be an awkward situtation when i don't hit. for example, what to do on a 9o? if i fire again and he shoves, i will have to make the call, getting my money in with ~25% equity. if i check and he bets, he will often deny me the correct odds to draw.

to avoid this spot, i was thinking of two solutions:
a) if i bet bigger (t200) preflop and close to pot on the flop, i will be left with less than a potsize on the turn and can relatively comfortably shove, folding out his floats, as well as marginal made hands.

b) another option that came to my mind was to bet flop very small, like t150, to either induce a raise from air or buy a cheap turncard. turnplay will become very hard for me though, as i am playing a big pot effectively readless.

any reply would help me tremendously. thanks in advance!

cliffs: i think i am bleeding money in this spot readless. question is to what size i should cbet and wether or not i am too weak-tight by c/f when i miss. extra question: whats my plan with TT?

cbet in 3bet pot is player depend, but i would cbet a lot, i think i dont cbat only when i m playing with a pasive calling station and i know i have to play only for value with him . if u dont have any info about the villain, cbet 100% of the time, u still have 6 posible outs....
and if u are not confortable playing this 3bet pots, why dont u 3bet less? or 3bet when u are confortable with the reads on the villain and u know what u have to do
as played, i think i would cbet 240

I would CBET too on the turn & if I get re raise I would muck it.

Raise 65% of the pot on the turn and check on river to see a showdown; you don't want to CBET all the way if you don't know the villain style of playing.
