[spoonitnow strategy] The Basic Concepts That Drive Continuation Betting

[jackvance]

Nothing is going to be too advanced to know really. Juts a case of whether you can implement it at BC or not, don't want to be levelling yourself.

It can be detrimental to implement more advanced concepts while missing other more basic stuff. One thing that comes to mind, your ranges don't need to be that balanced in 5NL, 10NL, 25NL, 50NL. Playing to exploit your opponents' tendencies is much more important. To give an example, plenty of players there will bet according to the strength of their hand, so if you're going to use bluffs to "balance your value range for the future" you can make the wrong plays.

That's exactly what I said. That'd be levelling yourself, but it's not bad to know. Could your time be better spent? probably, but all in all it's going to be good to know.

This article especially isn't too advanced. In fact I'm cbetting a less balanced range to exploit peoples tenancies more now than I was before I read this article, so my play at microstakes has improved.

I wasn't disagreeing with you just elaborating.
