I lose ALOT of money from this stupid situations. I have no idea what to do. Please explain me.
ex: 1. I'm on SB and the BTN/CO raise (steal 35%+) I reraise and he calls. Now if I miss the flop I'm fu**ed. What do I do? It costs me pretty much to cbet (not to mention that if he float I'm soooo fu**ed). :dontknow:

poker stars $5.00 No Limit Hold'em - 6 players
CO: $5.71 - VPIP: 29, PFR: 25, 3B:10, AF: 3.7, steal: 35,resteal 25 Hands: 98
BTN: $5.43 - VPIP: 20, PFR: 12, 3B: 0, AF: 0.0, hands: 25
Hero (SB): $5.05 - VPIP: 20, PFR: 17, 3B: 5, AF: 3.4, Hands: 150670
BB: $5.68 - VPIP: 13, PFR: 0, 3B: 0, AF: 0.0, Hands: 15
UTG: $5.68 - VPIP: 20, PFR: 20, 3B: 100, AF: 0.0, Hands: 10
MP: $10.17 - VPIP: 90, PFR: 0, 3B: 0, AF: 0.8, Hands: 10

Pre Flop: ($0.07) Hero is SB with :ks4: :ac4:
1 fold, MP calls $0.05, CO raises to $0.20, 1 fold, Hero raises to $0.65, 2 folds, CO calls $0.45

Flop: ($1.40) :5h4: :jd4: :5s4: (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $0.75, Hero folds

ex: 2. I'm on the button and raise 3x and the SB/BB (with 20+ resteal) 3bet. So I 4bet. Again if he calls and I miss the flop I'm dead (it cost me alot to cbet). If he shove I'm dead.
What do i do if he resteal wide? just flat? ok but if he cbet and I miss the flop..... :banghead: I'm starting to think that it's best to fold to resteal. And fold to steal from blinds (and 3bet only with some good hands like ATs+ KQs+ 99+), I don't know, I need help with this.
Please take a look at my stats:

I switched from 9max to 6 max a month ago. i know it's a small sample, but what do you guys think?

you are beating the game for 7bb/100. this is not a bad start at all, just so you know where you are. of course, it can be better, and i guess this is why you have come here to ask questions. (which is also very good!)

i am not going to offer direct advice on what to do, but here is a little thing to think about:

1. note the situations you feel uncomfortable in;
2. try to put your opposition in the same situations;
3. see what they do. :)

in your own post, you have the two situations:
- in one you are in the blinds, and someone steals wide, then calls. you do not like this.
- in the other, you are the stealer, and when someone 3-bets you, what do you do? it does not seem that you call and wait for them to be uncomfortable ;)

and even though i said i will not be giving advice, here is one bit that i should know about: c-betting when you miss the flop can be very expensive, but more often than not it is very profitable instead. if you only c-bet when you have something, that would make you too easy to play against...
(think of it this way: the other guy misses the flop just as often - but if you play fit or fold he will definitely know what to do.)

hmm it makes sense. thank you I will try this.

I'm not saying that I don't Cbet when I miss the flop. Of course I cbet. But what I wanted to say is that I am not comfortable to cbet with air in 3bet pots.

Cbetting the right boards in 3-bet pots is a money maker against weaker oppenents

noone says,you have to cbet just because you 3bet. it depends on the board texture and what your holding and opponents tendancies. n general if you dont feel like its going to be profitable just avoid it. try flatting AK suited for some pot control and take it from there.
