Thanks Dooy, really helpful.
I will try, I will try, I will try. If I start getting calls and raises then I reevaluate.
Turn cbet succes % is 26.9 overall.
Current winrate inflated by a total spazz I found, he rivered me on one hand that was just awful. I bought in for $5 because he had $10 and left with all of it. AQ on Q77 flop allin and AQ on AQx flop all in against K2 ffs. I nearly kacked myself when he picked up a flush draw on the turn.
Ive been break even for years so I know all about that! And Im getting no delusions of grandeur, I realise im just an unlucky streak away from losing 5 buyins and have heaps more questions for you but one thing at a time eh?
I do have one for you though that I think is in keeping with this concept of Isoing and cutoff/btn raising......
Can we take a scenario where we've been happily stealing for a few rounds then somebody wises up and 3bets back.
With what hands are you calling a 3bet from by sb or bb, lets say we make it 8c in an unopened pot in the CO/BTN, and the 10/10 sb makes it 24c, with which hands do we call? Do you have some standard ish 3bet floating range? Which hands might you be tempted to 4bet?
Notice your steal success in the sb is 70%. You are stealing with 28% of hands. Do you think you will be just as successful stealing with 50%? So in theory if you make it 3x 100% of the time you will be just as successful but you will be making so much more money not to mention your cbet on the flop if called will take it down a lot too. No one at this stake will notice you steal more or less. All they see are their cards and the community cards.
Sometimes im a bit slow, can you elaborate here please. Are you suggesting I make a 3xbb raise from the cutoff/button 100% of the time it is unopened?
What size will I make my "go away please" cbet? (If I raised 3xbb 100% of unopened pots)?
I think Im making it 4x preflop especially if Im simply stealing with the lower end of the steal range. If Im on the button and I want a call with KK/AA I'll make it 3x approx half the time and 4x the other. With JJ and QQ I randomly choose something between 3x and 6x.
Gonna scan the forum for a bit and get ready for a sesh later tonight.
Cheers buddies.
