Obviously we don"t worry about losing sessions
If you get somebody who your HUD is showing you is opening a lot of pots opens from the Button or the Cut Off then it is profitable to 3-bet them wide from the SB or BB. If you get called c-betting the flop is profitable a lot of the time,
So I would suggest a small (maybe 500 hand) session where you try to do the following.
For that session try to steal every tie it is unopened (everybody to act before you folds) to you in any of those positions.
Try to steal pots on the flop in good spots. For example if you have called a raise pre, the flop comes ace high and the raiser checks to you bet it. It will work a lot.
Again, if you want to do a Team Viewer session
Cheers Steve. I can see you have gone to a lot of time effort here. It is much appreciated.
I do appreciate the advice - please keep it coming. I probably won"t take all of it as you would expect but some of your comments will be very helpful to my game. It is very useful to discuss issues with players who appear to have gone through the same issues as I have gone through.
I know you"re are right when you say I need to be stealing more in LP. However my game has been in the past all about having the best hand in most cases and getting value in showdowns. It is a big change to be playing pots more regularly without real hands. I now I need to do this but I think it has to be a steady change to develop my post flop skills . I certainly don"t want to be cont betting and giving up on the turn too many times, or going to showdown with inferior holdings too many times.
Currently when in late psoition I tend to be more selective with my stealing and try and identify and target the less able players in the BB, by looking at stack size and HUG stats, and even then not with total garbage. By indiscriminately increasing my stealing in late position I think think its the regs who will notice and when I am 3 bet it is these I will tend to be in more hands with - which is clearly not ideal. Also by making a such and immediate and very significant change I won"t know what hand histories oppos have against me, and what image they ahve of me.
Also I am already 3 bet folding too many hands and I think I probably want to resolve this issue before increasing my steal percentage too significantly.
I am currently c- betting about 78%, which seems about right what do you think ?
Thanks again Steve. I hope you dont feel rebuffed at all. I very much respect your play and I think you have a lot to knowledge which can learn from. There were many good ideas which I helped and I and certainly got me thinking a lot.
I will be postings some of my hands later which I would appreciate our views on. I will be in touch re this team viewer session which I think would be very helpful.
