Post hands where your cbet is raised and you play back?
 

I think the general thread messes me up, because I see these ludicrous hero call-downs with bottom pair, and I proceed to assume that people are messing with my cbets more than they are. But then like every time I try to look someone up or play back at them, they really have me beat. I guess I'm just bad at poker, because I have no clue where to pick spots to continue with less than TPGK+/big draws. I don't want to play fit or fold forever.

I'd really appreciate it if some people could post hands where their cbet was raised but for whatever reason, they floated or 3-bet or played on in some manner. How did you "know" villain was BSing, etc? I used to think the board could tell you -- like a raise on a K73 board must be a lie, but when I look them up (with TT or whatever), they have K5o.

Is there a way to filter these hands in PT?

Re: Post hands where your cbet is raised and you play back?
 

I don't think so; not exactly anyway. You can mess around with the filter for "Pre-flop Raise - Action on Flop", and "Went to Showdown"/"Won without Showdown".

Ok here is a serious one. This guy was playing out of control aggressive and was obviously bluffing so much more often than he would have the 3 hands or whatever that can call pre and then raise this flop for value. So i decided to call and then CRAI most turns because that gets more out of him than threebetting flop, and it also means you are the one who shuts the door - he can't rebluff you. I don't show bluffs often but we were battling.

just stick with abc guy

Unfortunately, I think this belongs a great deal to 'instinct' and not anything you can learn - it's about a number of factors that include metagame, timing tells, bet sizing tells, etc. that cannot be adequately described on the forum.

and also this place doesn't help, because people don't post the hands where they get owned - trust me, they do.

furthermore, it sounds like you're falling into the old trap described by matt flynn where people inexplicably bluff or call down despite there being no real impetus to do so.

While I understand what you are getting at I still think that people have the goods most of the time and generaly don't make big plays. It's dangerous to go around being paranoid about getting outplayed which I think alot of us do at times. It can seriosly cloud your judgment.
What I suggest is spending more time on table selection. There are almost always tables open where you don't have to worry about this.

Do you really wanna play super agressive "wreckless" poker? I don't think you should be looking for spots to get it in on the flop with less then what you are used to.

Anyways, too bad about the filter in PT. It would be really helpfull to have filters like that to look at.

earlier this orbit he flat called my utg open on the btn with A2 and called 2 barrels on a J427 board, i gave up on a river blank and he was good. so this flop shove seemed easy enough as he's clearly not about to give me credit for a hand after i cbet here, probably feels like he owns me a bit right now, and i don't expect him to really ever have a strong hand.
