CR Flop: 32%
Call F CB: 45%
no idea what these number are supposed to be, but assuming i'm in HU pots mostly, looks like I'm folding the flop 23% of the time or so ... which means my opponents have a profitable c-bet with any2 cards bastards!
1st, let me ask if you ever 3 bet from the BB in steal situations? well, that is in steal situations where you'll be OOP postflop?
I'd guess that you don't and working from that I'd say you're k/c'ing way too much. I'd take some of the hands you're k/c'ing with and move them to k/f or k/r until I got my k/c down to, maybe, 30%. To get to this you may want to retool some preflop guidelines as well.
I don't know if you're kidding about your opponents having a profitable c-bet with any two, but yeah, they should have a profitable bet because they have the advantage of position AND a stronger distribution of hands than you do. Sometimes when they c bet you fold and other times you don't. It's your job to take a lot of money from them the times you don't fold.
A lot of people still think about bets or bluffs or whatever as being immediately profitable and I'm amazed. There was a big thread a while back in HSNL where lots of players were arguing to open raise any two cards on the button in HU NLHE if their opponent was folding enough to make it immediately profitable. This simply isn't the case and I'll just site the old saying of 'bad money followed by good' for justification.
