Default Re: continuation bets losing money, how do I adjust?

you should be aware that a small sample size of hands may skew your results. it could be that you are just running bad. in general, my modus operandi is to play hands that i make continuation bets with the same way i play big pairs. i make adjustments when necessary depending on my opponents' tendencies and other table dynamics. in heads up and 3 way raised pots i generally keep in mind the following details:

- how often does my opponent call preflop raises
- how often will he bet the turn if checked to
- how often will he bet the river if i check behind on the turn
- how often have i been raising preflop and can my opponent adjust accordingly
- how often can he bluff (call or bet) on each street

what you may want to do is play super tight for the first few orbits so that you're able to get a feel for the hand ranges that your opponents will have in these situations.
