The next several articles in my series are probably going to deal with different facets of continuation betting. I've started with some of the basics that are often ignored when continuation betting gets brought up because it's fashionable these days to try to talk about balancing your triple barrel range before you gain an intuitive understanding of position and how it changes your options. | |

Well it's hardly a beginner's concept...that's probably why. But do elaborate for us. |

The BC has levelled itself since I first started posting here in 09. Lots of posters have drivelled on about advanced concepts yet can't beat 5nl. |

No I didn't, because it's obvious if you can implement it or not. You'll have to do that as you move up. You're going to come across players who are awful at every stake, so treating every 1/2 player the same would be an awful idea and as a result you could easily level yourself and lose loads of money. |

It can be detrimental to implement more advanced concepts while missing other more basic stuff. One thing that comes to mind, your ranges don't need to be that balanced in 5NL, 10NL, 25NL, 50NL. Playing to exploit your opponents' tendencies is much more important. To give an example, plenty of players there will bet according to the strength of their hand, so if you're going to use bluffs to "balance your value range for the future" you can make the wrong plays. | |

if you read the article you'll see that spoon says pretty much the same thing, so i don't know who's arguing with whom. | |

Spoon levelled us all by even saying "I don't see these being discussed here much." |

to be honest i think he just typed something that happened to come to mind rather than having such an elaborate plan about it. | |

That's exactly what I said. That'd be levelling yourself, but it's not bad to know. Could your time be better spent? probably, but all in all it's going to be good to know. |

EasyPoker why don't you write a strategy series tailored specifically to micro-grinders since you are so adept with the skills required to beat microstakes? | |

It is very much a beginner's concept. Did you even read the link in the OP? | |
