Hey WCG. Just wanted to say that you have been a tremendous help to the poker community and I appreciate everything that you have given back.
Basic background... 100NL 6max regular. Bankrolled. TAGish stats 20/16/3. Been playing seriously for 2 years now.
I have 2 questions.
After evaluating my game, I find the biggest leak in my game is that in bvb situations if im in the sb, I raise pf, they call, and I get floated on way too many flops when i c-bet. And the thing is, i am only hitting the flop 1/3 times and i can almost never take a lot of heat since i will a lot of the time have top par weak kicker, mid pair or some sort of draws. So thus, i'm folding when villains are raising, and just c/f most turns. The thing is, i was thinking that 3betting flops such as J83 when they raise IP or betting turns on Q974 when they flat on the flop are such obvious spots where i'm overrepresenting my hand. I am wondering how I can combat this leak since I'm giving up a lot of money by just folding and letting people take adavantage of me in position. I know though that in 6max cash, limping is pretty bad and it is either raising or folding. Sometimes i just want to fold my JTs bc i know that i'm just going to have to c/f if i miss that i would rather just fold, even though i know in the long run that it will definitely be a +EV play.
What do you do in these situations to make villains float you less and give up more?
Also,
What is the one thing that you did which helped up move up in stakes and not a break even player? Grinding at 100NL is fine, but I know that I am not making as much as i should, and winning standard AIPF AK to QQ or hitting coolers. Instead you need to be getting people to put in stacks in situations with their marginal holdings, and i am having trouble down here doing that.
Thanks for all your help.
