I try and take in as much advice as I can and during the lockdown days it was alot easier to find time to study than now.. But Ive always kinda found the same thing.. Alot of advice and learning I read seems to contradict itself.
For instance.. (im a 1/2c player) And people who are well versed in those stakes say forget fancy play, focus on the fundamentals, bet for value rather than bluffing... But then say if your AF is sitting below 2 your not being aggressive enough.
If your only betting for value, unless your on some huge heater you are never ever getting your AF high enough.
Should you even take note of your stats (apart from Vpip) when playing at the micros???
They say you should try to really play in position unless you have a really top hand, yet so much writing is about opening ranges where (unless you are on the button) you are probably going to be playing out of position.
People say stick to the fundamentals of poker at the micros and its easy to beat, But there is no way you can win enough pots to mitigate the losses just folding every flop that doesn't have a draw or misses entirely.
If I open raise and I miss the flop what am I doing? Checking? C-betting? Because a C-bet with a missed flop is basically a bluff as far as I see it.
I feel like no matter what I do Im doing something wrong depending on what 'fundamental' rule might pop into my head.. and im losing, alot. Consistently around 2/3 Buy ins per session.
