Unlearning Fit-or-Fold postflop

[BadSeed]

Hello everyone! I would like to encourage you talking about an important leak of many poker beginners (and especially me) - fit-or-fold postflop approach. Having studied my PT statistics, I found that if I don't cbet (which I maybe do too often, but this is another story), I tend folding to most flop bets when missed the board or hit the lower card (or have an inferior poket pair).
I feel that I am losing money playing this way, but I have no clear idea how to fix it. It could also be that playing too straightforward is not a problem on micro limits, but I surely want to improve my play... Grateful for any help!
P.S. I play NL 0.5-0.10 on Party. PT - 27/14/ 3.5/2/1.9.

This is a very general question and I expect this thread will be locked.
Your question is really 'how do I become a better postflop player?'.
Here's how:
1) Play a lot
2) Read and respond to threads
3) Read the archives
4) Review your game with pokertracker and post difficult/interesting hands.

And that's it.

Thanks for the response!
So, should I post a few hands of what I consider an early post-flop fold for the expert consideration? I was afraid many of experienced player will find them either too primitive or too boring.

Just post them.

You need to drop the 27 downwards towards the low 20's. Raise the 14 up to about 17/18.

Stop playing Aces lower than A10o. Being in control of pots is way more +ev than calling with catching hands!

Read the entire uNL essentials sticky. This may be just as valuable as a good sklansky book!

Is this 6-max? I would work on the the 27%. I used to have similar 6-max numbers, and I found myself in lot of marginal spots.

Since this is more a general question, I offer a general answer. Stop open-limping if you're doing it. Stop calling preflop raises in the blinds with suited connectors, KQ, AJ, AT, KJ, and QJ. Dump those suited Aces in Early Position.

Make a conscious effort to concentrate on position. You want to be the aggressor preflop.

I don't know if this helps, but I suspect you're finding yourself in bad spots out of position with top pair, meh kicker hands.

gl at the tables shmack, you seem to play a game similar to mine.

TO THE OP: watch CR's NL25 or NL50 videos, read the stickies, watch videos on the forum, etc.


not playing fit/fold is something that is developed with experience. you pick up on things and then using a players #'s and the texture of the board you can make some call downs with PP's on boards that beat you, but ABC pokah is still the way to go.

I don't remember if I had any hands where I called down in my latest video without a "strong" top pair type hand when I had PP's, but it's pretty easy to call down one street.
