Re: continuation bets losing money, how do I adjust?
I posted a similar thread a few weeks ago, about my unsuccessful continuation betting system. I've developed a sort of "session strategy" since then that has been quite successful.
For the first 50 hands or so, do not continuation bet much (less than 50%). At this time, other players like to think that every flop bet from you is a steal, and you'll get lots of callers.
During these hands, show down only a few, and make sure that they are strong hands - this gives you a sort of credibility at the table.
After showing that "you only value bet", continuation betting will be at least 2x as successful, because now your opponents will have switched to the mindset of "if he's betting, he's got it!"
It's funny how you are often just placed into category A (always bluffing) or category B(bets good hands); if you can be aware of your standing in this respect, you will be much more successful in terms of these missed AK, AQ, AJ, etc...
