Continuation Betting - Part One

[Novles]

vn. I use the stats fold to flop bet, fold to turn bet, and fold to river bet. How close would you measure these in relation to the stats you mentioned (fold, call, raise c-bet)? I have a lot of stats on my hud and don't know if I could handle adding those stats in, so I guess I'm asking if you think it would be beneficial to remove these stats and add the ones you mentioned.

The fold to flop bet I disregard when continuation betting because the fold to continuation stat is the relevant one here. However, the fold to turn/river bet are both useful for double and triple barrels as well (also consider these and what the correct play is when you do NOT want your opponent to fold). Just be careful to not rely on stats too much. Against a player that can mix up his game (a lot of times the mood I am in (ie raise flop a lot mood vs float flop, cbet a lot vs not as much) or depending on how you are perceived at the table, these stats may mean next to nothing.

Also, you don't need a million stats on your hud. You can click the name of the player and millions of stats pop up. If you are playing n tables where n is great enough where you do not have time to click on the player's name and look... I cannot help you there.

Very nice post. I like the part about the floaty LAG types the best cause they will typically give me the most trouble.

i wish i knew how to c/r. also, i think a lot of my recent downswing has to do w/ finding bad players but then not playing well against them (like stooping to their level to play them). greg, would you say you have a 'game' that you try to always play (like find a table it works best on) or are you able to switch gears often and find yourself settling into the table conditions?

oh, and nice article.

Delta,

I play around 26/19ish preflop, and that is my standard "game." I have been described by other 2p2ers as a "TAGish/LAGish" postflop player, and I would consider myself pretty aggressive. However, I sit at the tables with the biggest fish. I have to adjust my game throughout the session because my image is constantly changing (sometimes I want it to, sometimes a good or bad run of cards does it). So, it would kind of be bad IMO to say, well, now my image is x, so I would have to play like y, and this game isn't my strongest so I'm going to find a better table. During your session, you should be looking for tables that are better anyway, but you should technically already be sitting at the best tables, and therefore not want to get up. Thusly, your game has to adjust.
