ACR 10NL blitz: am I tripping or should I start heavily respecting postflop raises? ACR 10NL blitz: am I tripping or should I start heavily respecting postflop raises?

One of my biggest leaks is calling too much on the turn and river. My next biggest leak is bluff-jamming too much in these same spots.

It seems quite a few of my decisions align with my solves in these spots, however apart from a few specific players who play way too loose and bluff way too often, I don't seem to ever actually catch any bluffs.

Am I just getting unlucky or are turn raises/ 3-bets and flop raise jams heavily unbalanced towards value? It's just hard for me to read these people because I wouldn't be able to jam such good hands unless I know I'm bluffing as well because my biggest fear on the felt is not getting my big hands paid off; and thus despite a likely statistically significant sample of 'only ever' running into the effective nuts, I'm hesitant to actually start exploiting the pool.

Again, this is something I need to work on in general anyway, but I feel like making a simple exploit like this would probably save my bankroll some heavy hits. How do you guys manage these spots? Should I just play more ABC poker? I suppose it's also somewhat likely I'm getting exploited myself, but it seems most of the guys that stack me tend to have no history with me...

you are not catching a lot of bluffs because people at 10nl usually dont bluff enough. there is a difference between having bluffs and having enough bluffs. the average 10nl player is underbluffing 90% of the game tree (FYI that starts preflop). the only exception are aggro whales (who mostly are overbluffing) and very agressive regs who try to run over their competition.
