Hi guys,
I'm a micro stakes HU SNG player. I'd say I'm a reasonably good rec who thinks through his decisions, uses pot odds, doesn't make any crazy plays and generally I do ok and I'm still learning, but I'm missing out on a ton of spots against ABC lobby regs who are just playing face up value ranges.
For example, villains who min-raise the button with an average range but 3x with all strong hands, who only 3-bet a strong Ax range and don't balance it with bluffs, who will c-bet the flop to a high percentage but only bet turn and river with a top pair plus range. I understand in theory what they are doing wrong but I can't seem to step outside of my box and make creative plays to take advantage. In position I'm making sure that I'm not bluffing without equity or fold equity and OOP I'm just trying to make correct decisions with my odds and the price offered to me. I then get into a bunch of showdowns where I see villain has second or third pair and think I could have probably gotten him off that if I'd followed through but I'm just unsure on how people learn to take advantage of these spots and fire those barrels.
I've just played a couple of matches against a villain who's c-betting range was literally value. C-bet was top pair and two barrel was top pair plus but I just can't seem to take advantage. It's a huge leak in my game and I'd appreciate any advice from more experienced players.
