value bet thinner
Value betting yields showdowns.. from the initial topic I think he doesn't want a showdown.
Be more agressive
Perhaps change ur standard open raise from 3bb to 4bb
Value betting thinner yields more folds. Most players check behind too much.Quote:

Solving this riddle is easy, how you adjust to winning more showdowns will be a problem. I spent all of the last two weeks trying to adjust, just to stop spewing in non showdowns. I have a new problem.

I just looked at this graph for my database and was surprised I was up less than a buy-in for non-showdown winnings while over the same period I was up 13 buy-ins for showdown winnings. Given that I've been picking on weak players so much lately it made me think.
Then I realized that folding your SB/BB is a non-showdown loss.
Yeah, blinds count in your non-showdowns. I'm running about dead even over 7k hands in non-showdown winnings. Wish I could pinpoint my changes, but not folding as much probably helped me.
i wanna see a rly solid players stat
yo wtf at fold BB being non-showdown loss.
It's a loss, and it's not at a showdown, so this is pretty straight-forward.Quote:

Floating c-bet bots in position more & punishing their predictability.
Tightening up a little preflop.
The last one worked for me because I was pretty loose preflop and ended up in marginal spots vs loose shortstacks where I c-bet a lot with trash or 2nd pair no kicker and had to give up a lot of raised/cbet pots.
Great point dozer. I think one problem a lot of developing TAGs have, is they c-bet like monkeys. Learning that its ok to not c-bet when you dont think its good to do so can really help.
Yes this was me for quite a while. Just insta c-betting with no thought of range, fold equity, board texture, etc...Quote:

Exploiting predictable villains is fun :!:
steal more blinds and 3bet more preflop
