    Default Predictable betting

    I noticed the following:

An example would be a nit with predictable betting patterns.
    It got me thinking and I think i have somewhat of a predictable betting pattern. I haven't won a big pot since i don't know when, so i think this could be one of the many factors affecting my winning ratio.

    Now how do i go about changing my patterns? I know i must just bet more differently with the same cards. but can someone give me an example or be specific?

    I think i do bet differently in a way. I'll bet more aggressive against tight and much less against loose players. Is this right? it also depends on what flops. Is it correct to bet relative largly with high cards on the flop if you're UTG?

    Lastly if you flop TPTK, what is a good bet to make HU against a loose player?

    Thanks!

    First of all, I saw from another post that you're playing at 5NL and 10NL. I seriously doubt players are taking notes on your betting patterns at these stakes. At this point you should be focused on playing premium cards and betting good hands when you hit them. Read this post if you haven't already. (If you have, read it again.)

    You're right. But i noticed it another way.

    Beginners are losers because they don't notice the obvious. I just discovered when i turned on my own stats to be on the overlay, that my SD% is 3. wtf. thats so low. So I started playing more till the end. Guess what. There are such big idiots on this level. I totally overvalued the players.

    I just got a 12BB/100 and recovered my loss in 378hands which i lost over 10k hands. i hope this is the case and that i can continue with my adjusted play.

    I also think know most of the players at this low level don't keep track and it wasn't my predictable betting, but rather my fear when they make a too large bet.

    So know im dissappointed in my bad play coz like that theory, if i knew what they had i would've raised, lol. Hopefully i can learn more and still get better to move up.
