Leak finding- c betting oop

#1 31st May 2011, 8:32 AM

hi,
Was just going through pt3 to try and find some leaks and noticed I'm losing a lot without showdown and mainly oop. Does this mean I should just tighten up my range in ep or c bet and double barrel a lot less?
Anyone else have these problems and any advice on dealing with it

I play extremely tight in EP. QQ+ and AK and nothing else. Here's my reasoning:

1. QQ+ will win most hands. I'm confortable in cbetting at will for value. If I get any resistance on a board that looks harmless it's because someone hit two pair or a set.
2. AK will hit the flop 1/3 of the time. I'll cbet at will for value.
3. AK will not hit the flop 2/3 of the time. I'll cbet at will for folds. If I get resistance or calls, I'll keep the pot small.

It makes no sense to me to consider any hand in EP where I can feel unconfortable for being OOP and having initiative.

Not sure if it helps since my dataset is pretty small but it's around 16/12 overall. I've had tables where I played 7/7, others where I played 40/20. But that difference is usually from MP+1 forward, doesn't really impact in EP or blinds.

By the way... this is full ring. 6-max would be quite different but I have no experience in 6-max ranges (or full ring ahahahahahah)

Try what I am trying and really exaggerate positional hand selection. Like open late extremely wide and EP extremely tight. I can't believe how much easier it is to play even bad hands in position and how difficult it is to play good hands OOP. I'm hoping this will help me appreciate position more

C bet alot when villians folds to c bet alot . . C bet less when villian folds to c bet less. Also, playing a little tigher in EP will help as well.
