Default Re: abusing bad TAG players preflop [theory]

It's funny you bring this up because most people simply don't know what boards to c-bet on, what boards to float and what boards to raise c-bets on instead of floating because some boards induce double barrels from otherwise nitty players.

I think the dynamic you are facing here is the struggle of information. The people that know don't want to tell you because they are not being sufficiently rewarded for their troubles and the people asking the questions are not investing in the forum, just taking.

i have had a lot of coaching in nl theory and i've started writing or "compiling," pages on certain topics. I have 2 pages on the effectivenss of 3betting and exactly WHY it is effective. i think it would help a lot of people in this thread (not all).

So you write about poker in order to tell others you have ideas but choose not to share????

When to c-bet, raise, float, etc comes down to basic range reads.
You need to ask yourself on each street,

What is my opponents range?
What range am I communicating?

Based on the ranges and the board you can make good decisions. For example, you have standard TAG opening stats and raise from MP and get called by the BB. Flop = 6A2r.
What range am I communicating? AT+, 66+, KJ+, etc
What is my opponents range? 66-99, KQ, etc…. obv based on the opponents style.

The important thing to note is that Aces make up a big chunk of your perceived range, therefore 6A2r is a good flop to c-bet.

If the flop was 678r, not so much. Hands that hit that flop are a smaller part of your range. i.e. over pairs, sets, and 56,67,78,89,9T.

It is not an exact science, so I’m not sure what is meant by, “Some people know, but they chose not to share b/c no one else is sharing” I wouldn't expect someone would be able to write up "Here is how you c-bet, float, and raise".
