    Possible: Float the c-bet and steal the turn more often.

    Problem: My opponents keep showing up with stuff outside of the range I assign them.
    The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes

    possible - go and do some work with poker stove, think about range variation by position, and use your player notes to get a feel for the types of hands your villains like. Practise.

    Problem: I struggle with what to do with TT-QQ in late position vs a TAGgish reg's mp open with aggressive players behind/in the blinds

    possible - flat the open and be prepared to 4b vs a squeeze (given opener folds)
    edit- jamming is still an option if opener calls i guess; maybe more +EV

    problem - fish limp/calls a reg's lp iso. reg will fold a lot to 3b's here, but the fish probably will too.

    possible adjustments:
    1) size down your preflop raise size when isolating
    2) do not cbet flop w/o good chances to barrel turn/river (i.e. good backdoor draws and stuff) because one and done cbetting is just burning money vs this player.

    possible - poster decides to follow rules of the thread

    problem - our heads-up opponent continually bets a fairly balanced, polarized range on virtually every street post.

    possible - flat less in the bb, so maybe 3b some of the hands that you'd normally flat with. try playing back on wetter boards that he'll bluff with a high frequency, and not getting too fancy on boards where he'll realise that you can't rep that much. Focus a lot more on your range postflop. Also sit out if you don't have an edge (or have a larger edge in another game); there's no shame in table selecting.

    problem - editted because i didn't follow rules, opponent cbets hands with SD value (including draws), checks a wide range of value range to trap, and checks air too.

    OK so he bets middle and checks a polarized range

    [--strong--|-middle-|----weak--]
    [--check---|--bet--|---check--]

    Possible adjustment:
    -Bet our nut hands {exploits his c/r tendency with his strong hands}
    -Call down our 'B' range {exploits his bet tendency with his medium hands}
    -Check behind / call our drawing hands

    Problem: Our opponent is displaying a great deal of aggression postflop; we have seen him raise and re-raise on rather dry boards, and have not seen any of these instances to go to showdown. Our cbets are normally raised, our bluff raises get reraised. Smallish sample size.

    Go.

    Shit, I derailed the thread by being a smart ass.

    Carry on, see Hoopy's post above.

    NEED ANSWARS:
    Possible : Cbet far less air and check back more in position. Bet/3bet jam some nut hands and good draws (8+outs). Sometimes c/r draws/nuts as PFR if stacks are better for it.

    Problem : Opponent leads flop often as PFC.
