Continuation bets are almost pointless because they call with nothing or bottom pair a lot of times.
I'd say half the time I make a continuation bet it is called and half it is folded.
Then I go into check fold unless I hit. Is it worth it to bet the turn with just overcards? I can't make it work.
any other advice?
Are all the 10NL tables like this?
Thanks
At those low limits, they're going to call you whether or not you hit, so continuation bets are pointless. Continuation bets are supposed to make the opponent think "hmm...am I outgunned here?", but most everyone at really low limits DON'T THINK, so continuation bets are worthless. They'll call with middle pair or bottom pair, both of which currently beat you. And so you'll be throwing money away.
THe reason I only recommend raising with AA, KK, and QQ, is because those are hands that should be able to stand up by themselves. The rest are going to need help from the board generally to win, and if everyone's the board, life is going to suck for your AK and AQ.
and no; it is not worth it to be the turn with just overs. You have 6 outs, so you have a 12% to hit, and hitting still might not let you win.
