Hi Guys,
So I would say I am fairly new to poker as I am only turned 18 in January. When I initially played of course I was a complete fish. However since the start of August I have started to read strategy articles and learn the fundamentals and am starting to profit at 5NL over 12500 hands I am $20 in profit. The main problem I find I have is not knowing when to call 3-bets pre-flop or when I should be 3-betting for value. Often I find myself folding and see them play out the hand and see them flip over AQo when I had AKo.
Also when I am fairly sure I have the better hand should I be raising huge amounts to stop them from seeing another card? Or is it more profitable in the long run to raise a little (e.g 2/3 of pot), let them see the river even though it could improve there hand? The second strategy will increase the value I get from winning hands but could make me lose the hand and so I am not sure.
Thanks
Curtis
