It's fine to tighten up if you are wanting to stay out of more marginal spots or are getting raised a bunch, but if you have a spot where you are pushing an edge of like 55% vs 45% then continue to push it regardless of whether you have lost your last 10 flips or not.
You're clearly a good enough critical thinker to really excel in the poker world so just keep up the work.
thissssss is key
thanks for reminding me
if we have like 45% even in alot of spots we should be GETTING MONIES IN (unless there is a better way to play the hand). even with 45% equity we'll often have enough overlay from pot odds to justify stacking off.

I suppose the way to get better at this would be to look for villains who are simply folding to 3 Bets way too often when opening OTB and just 3 Bet the holy hell out of them until they adjust, and also look for villains who may not be folding to 3 bets but who are c-betting too many hands and just c/r them with hands that are strong vs their range, though this could get us into some sticky spots... Would like to hear your thoughts on how to improve on this
watch videos, do some maths, get a sweat from another player whos good at these things. attack people who fold like 80% to 3bets after opening. force them to either start playing marginal hands vs you or tighten up and give you walks. when you're otb and you have a hand you can't call but still has value, 3bet. put pressure on your opponents and don't let up until they give you a reason to.
