Making some adjustments
I think I have established a good base but my game definately needs some tweaking. When I decided to get serious about online poker, I was a horribly passive player. I can't say I was tight passive because I didn't know what to play so I would have been loose passive, but not intentionally, only out of ignorance.
I changed alot of things about my game immediately saw improvements. One of those areas was aggression and focusing on playing the 19 with discipline. I also learned and began implementing correct continuation betting.
Here are the problems I am dealing with currently (forgive me for not posting hand histories).
1. Hand groupings for continuation bets.
My current G1 is (preflop raises with unimproved CBs) AA-JJ, KQ, KJ, QJ. I believe this is a leak given the losses I am seeing. A large chunk of which appears to be when my CBs are called and I have just donated a chunk of my stack after the turn or even the river.
I think I need to move KQ, KJ and QJ to G2 (preflop raises but CBs only when improved, when raised by a villain and unimproved, folded). The more I think about this, the more it seems obviously logical, am I correct?
2. My betsizing for flopping a set.
I have experimented with bets of 67%-100% of the pot, post flop after making my set and I am still losing hands to suckouts. I want to keep the top pair, and 2 pair hands in but I want to force the chasers out. Do I need to move the betsize up to 2x the pot?
Sorry for the long winded post, I figured more articulation was better than "should I bet more post flop?"
