$25 NL 6-max: Aggression Factor & Value-Betting

[hanster]

My # is 22/14 over 12k hands so far with AF of 2.41/1.23/1.22 and total of 1.78. I feel it's a tad low (it's decent for 25 NL) but eventually I want to have over a 2. I shouldn't be so statistically-oriented but I feel like being so weak on turn and river are losing me a lot of monies.

Another thing is value-betting. Sometimes I get scared of taking someone to valuetown with, say a top pair or situations like below.

Yeah,, bet river, there's no chance that he checks here with a hand that got you beat, I would shove. The rest is fine.

Didn't look at the hand, but yep ... your stats are teh suck aggression wise.


It depends on how loose/tight you are, tight means more aggressive, than loose (even tho lags have the worst reputation, statwise Tags have the higest AF)

Many lags run AF's of 4-5

Tag run 6-8 or so.


More or less ... anyways, those are just estimates based on me, but 2 is not good enough, no way ... and that it is 25NL is no excuse /images/graemlins/smile.gif

clear river vbet. if he sucks, why would he ever check the river with something that beats you cause it feels like you're calling

[Artsemis]

Is it not possible his check was AQ / A2s / 22 afraid of the clubs with the $5 half-pot call on the turn? I guess that's a small range out of his possible holdings but I suck =d

[ukdentisto32]

u have to bet river, his Q2 isnt good anymore /images/graemlins/wink.gif

no reason imo to check that river, hes got a weaker ace probably, and he wont check the flush / boat there when you have shown strength the entire time and could get a free showdown with TTP. Gotta put that Value bet in there imo
