Re: continuation bets losing money, how do I adjust?
[ QUOTE ]
I'd love to see a response to this from other players as well because i know today it seemed like every time I got AK AQ or AJ and raised, everyone and their mama was eager as could be to get in there and raise my continuation bet on the flop. But when I had AA->JJ everyone just folds pre flop and I take down the blinds.. wonderful. And then ofcourse when you decide to look someone up with 88 or try to play back at someone with AK on a missed board you just end up getting burnt. I noticed at the 10/20 pstars tables alot of players dont continuation bet at all when raising pre flop. I've been trying to think of a way to figure out when to continuation bet and when not to and I think what im going to stat doing is paying close close close attention to the action of other players. Who is calling alot of pre flop raises, who's tight pre flop... on the flop who is willing to fold alot when missing the flop and who shows resistance? I will watch the action more closely so I know who is probably a good person I can continuation bet against and who simply isn't.

You just worded what's been happening to me perfectly, preach on!
Yeah I think what you are saying about knowing the other player is prob the most sensible advice. Maybe the default action should be no continuation bet except against the 15/5 or less players. I also notice that if I build up a big stack my bets "seem" to be respected more. Nearly always doing a continuation bet is probably what you definitely DO NOT want to do whatever the case.
