Well, my red line (or bluff winnings) has been improving lately and it's due to several adjustments I have made.
1/ Continuation Betting : I have been c-betting around 80% of the time with a success rate of around 50%. It's profitable to c-bet our entire range if opponents are folding this much. So I have returned to c-betting very very often. I will not forget the more refined c-betting strategy as this will help me at higher stakes.
2/ Varying bet sizing based on position : Raising smaller in LP defends against light button and blind 3-bettors
3/ Becoming more aggressive on the flop and turn : Flop and turn raises get loads of respect in rush poker. So we need to - at the very least - have a 1:1 ratio of value to bluff raises and I think that a 2:1 ratio would be profitable at these limits. So I've been doing this more often with great success.
Can't think of any more at the moment - the other adjustments are likely more subtle. But know this : I'm playing more hands now; a 16/13 sort of style and it's making a healthy difference to my win rate. When the sample size is bigger I'll post more. GL!
think about double-barreling. Lots of cbet floaters out there, and learning the right board & opponent range to double barrel is very profitable. It's an expensive step to learn though, since picking the wrong spots is obviously very spewy (not just wrong spots, but over-doing it too becomes very exploitable).
ReplyDeleteTBH I'm still fuzzy about what are good turns to barrel though (this is HU so it occurs more often than 6max) - the coaching I got from ChicagoRy went into it a bit, but he continually would see good spots which I didn't see, and I'd pick bad spots which seemed the same to me. Obv I was missing something fairly fundamental...
this is something else I've worked on recently, but early days and probably a spew currently! How are the HUSNGs going?
ReplyDeleteBetter, but since the BR got decimated it'll take a bit of a climb back up. Feeling confident though :-D
