I have noticed that my fold to cbet% is 17. Im obviously not hitting all these so must be floating a lot or just assuming villain is making a routine cbet.

Folding or not a % of cbet doesn't say much. I think that the best answer you'll find is to know what happened in the remaining 83% of the hands you did not fold.

Review the hands that you didn't fold and that you had nothing, not even a draw. How much did you make/loose? How did you win hands? How did you loose hands? Why and against whom?

% alone are pretty dry. For some players it can be a huge leak. For others it can be a huge money maker.

It depends how observant your opponents are. I usually make a ton of money from my second barrels against players like you.

I would say it is pretty bad but it can sometime work in your favor, especially when you face a very aggressive opponent, here is how I got fooled, I have 250 hands on this guy, he folds to cbet 20% and folds to turn cbet 36% but folds to river bet 83% thus I triple barrel, here is what happened:

Entraction - €0.10 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 3: http://www.pokertracker.com

CO: €10.82
BTN: €2.15
SB: €11.84
BB: €9.05
UTG: €5.20
Hero (MP): €10.00

SB posts SB €0.05, BB posts BB €0.10

Pre Flop: (€0.15) Hero has Kc Ac

fold, Hero raises to €0.35, CO calls €0.35, fold, fold, fold

Flop: (€0.85, 2 players) 3c 5c 8d
Hero bets €0.63, CO calls €0.63

Turn: (€2.11, 2 players) 5d
Hero bets €1.58, CO calls €1.58

River: (€5.27, 2 players) 6h
Hero bets €2.95, CO calls €2.95

Hero shows Kc Ac (One Pair, Fives) (PreFlop 46%, Flop 55%, Turn 32%)
CO shows Jd Jh (Two Pair, Jacks and Fives) (PreFlop 54%, Flop 45%, Turn 68%)
CO wins €10.62



So I think you might be able to put that to good work in some cases however you should definitely start folding a lot more out of position.

Your bet sizing sucks, imo. It's a fine line with overs and the flush draw, but you really want to pot/pot/shove when you do that.

yeah I figured that out afterwards, but at the time I was thinking I make it look like a value bet lol. clearly at 10nl people don't think like they do on high stakes poker.

i didn't read anything about "raise". wouldn't you raise once in awhile especially when you have a good read on your opp.
to atleast show that you'll challenge them.
i try to reraise and call only when i hit or on a good draw.
good luck on the felt :tee:

Yeah I watch high stakes then triple barrel bluff and stuff like that and people have called me down without raising with top 2 pair and stuff. They must think I have a monster. I never think anyone has anything. I even think my king highs are good most of the time :(
