Message: [QUOTE="John A, post: 2323314, member: 88730"] So on to making you a better poker player. [B]We have point #1, which is make sure you're c-betting enough in position[/B]. Besides the BB, your highest c-bet % should be from the button and CO. Very simple point, but you'd be surprised how many people do not have this correct or are missing lots of value here. [B]#2 - Limit your cold calling out of position with trouble hands and speculative hands. [/B] We've talked about this a bit already on here. I'd say out of over 100+ students I've had, about 99 of them have a significant leak here. It usually falls into two hand categories, so you'll want to check this yourself in your database. It's either a trouble range like KTo-KQo/A9o-AJo/QTs/o-QJ, etc... OR Offsuited and suited connectors, and other hands at the bottom of the range like K8s, etc... usually if it's the K8s type range it comes from cold calling in the BB for min raises and 1.5x raises. If you are losing more than -100bb/100 with those hands in those spots, it's a leak. It can become very costly long term, so you want to make sure you've checked this area, and you've isolated what kind of cold calling ranges and from what situations are causing you the most issues. I had a student playing 50nl who was losing over -400bb/100 in the bb from these situations over a reasonable sample size. He had an overall winrate of ~ -1.2bb/100. We plugged this part up, now back over break even just like that. It's a miracle I tell you. ;) I posted some of these filters for the cold calling. I'll put together a couple of more and post as well. I'd advise everyone look over this though and post your results. [/QUOTE]
