early in an MTT I have had no success at all with c-betting lately, in or out of position. Basically, if I don't have anything and I make a continuation bet, I get called or check-raised nearly 100% of the time. When I do have something big, they fold nearly 100% of the time. How are today's players so good that they can actually "see" my cards and know whether I'm bluffing or not. It didn't used to be this way, but now it is. On the rare occasions I decide to make a hero call because I have top pair strong kicker or something like that, they have me beat nearly 100% of the time also. It doesn't seem possible that my opponents hit the flop so hard almost 100% of the time, yet every time I 3 and 4-bet them, they don't back down, they have a nut or near-nut hand. How is it possible that opponents can hit so often, or know with almost 100% certainty that I will fold to their check-raise or their float bet? I'm not talking big buy-ins either, I'm talking right on down to the smallest $1.10 buy-ins.
