Had another good session but I don't feel satisfied with my play. I keep forgetting to consider my opponent's hand and pot/implied odds. Trying very hard to hammer this into myself and make it a habit of constantly thinking about those factors.
I'm especially find it difficult to read solid players who call my continuation bets. Here's one such case. I have played heads-up with this player on 3 or 4 hands and I know he's a solid player. He beat me once and I beat him once, and his stats were 32 VP$IP / 11 PFR / 34 AFq. Mine is 22 / 7 / 63. What's a good AFq to have? Haven't been able to find good guides on that.
Anyways, here's the hand
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (9 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com
CO ($5.05)
Button ($3.50)
SB ($1.50)
BB ($1.01)
UTG ($1.07)
UTG+1 ($0.91)
daeyeth (MP1) ($4.64)
MP2 ($1.71)
MP3 ($2.29)
Preflop: daeyeth is MP1 with Q , Q
2 folds, daeyeth bets $0.08, MP2 calls $0.08, 1 fold, CO calls $0.08, 3 folds
Flop: ($0.27) A , 3 , 5 (3 players)
daeyeth bets $0.10, 1 fold, CO calls $0.10
Turn: ($0.47) 4 (2 players)
daeyeth bets $0.30, CO calls $0.30
River: ($1.07) 5 (2 players)
daeyeth checks, CO checks
Total pot: $1.07 | Rake: $0.05
Results:
daeyeth had Q, Q (two pair, Queens and fives).
CO had J, A (two pair, Aces and fives).
Outcome: CO won $1.02
I think my flop raise was too small to properly gauge his hand, though I really can't tell because I've been constantly raising his BB from the button and I know he wants to play with me to get back at me from a previous hand. If I had raised to 1/2 or 3/4 pot and he called, what do I do at the turn? If I check, won't a solid player sense my weakness and bet whether he has something or not?
