At the micros cbetting a high percentage of flops is a good tactic imo, and i've been there long enough to know lol, most of the people there play fit or fold poker, i.e. if they dont hit the flop they will fold to a cbet. The term 'hit the flop' is the grey area, and where you have to start using your brain a little, you ever hear the terms 'dry' and 'wet' boards??
Furthermore, the majority of players there will not adjust to your 80-90% cbet stats in the slightest. When someone does start to play back at you they're easy to spot b/c they're probably the only one at the table that is lol
A couple of quick pointers off the top of my head.
- Always cbet when checked to on a paired board, if you think about it literally, on a board like 993, they can only have hit that flop with 5 cards, and if you raised pf they're not likely to have a 3, so you could say 2 cards really.
- Always raise min-donk bets, this is something that takes a little bit of cahones when you've whiffed the board but when someone min donk bets into you it usually means they have middle pair and want to 'find out where they stand', raise their asses and they fold a lot more than you'd think, fwiw i've just added 'donkbet flop' and 'fold to donkbet raise' to my hud and its working wonders.
- Don't cbet when more than 2 people have called your pf raise, if you haven't hit the flop then generally just try and check it down, hope to catch a few cards or if they all check the turn then consider firing your cbet then instead.
- Try not to have loose calling stations on your left b/c they're a pain in the ass to play against when you don't have position and it makes you start to play fit or fold as they will call you down all the way when your AK whiffs the flop.
- Generally, at the micros's, dont double barrel, i've found that when someone check-calls on the flop they're usually holding TP 9+ kicker and they aren't the type to fold it to a turn cbet, obv make a note of guys like this b/c you can valuetown them when your holding tptk, a set, etc. The only time i will double barrel is if ive turned my cbet into a semi
bluff, with a draw or something, and i think i can fold them out on the turn whilst still having equity if they call.
- If you haven't already, watch the introduction to cbetting video on stox, its one of their free ones and can be found on the frontpage of their site.
