All very helpful thanks. I guess I still cbet flop too much and especially calling 3-bets is probably costing me a lot. @
don_artie told me not to do that before iirc but I guess it snuck back in over time because the solvers kept telling me to. I think I should probably stop following GTO wizard's preflop advice altogether on these stakes.
One problem I have with preflop is that I just can't be bothered to construct proper ranges for every single spot. I really should be doing that but there are too many and learning them all feels hopeless and boring. I just end up playing by intuition but that leads to big mistakes sometimes. How did you do this when you first started out?
In general you have to know how a certain dynamic plays out in terms of range interactions with each other and with the board. on 995r SB vs MP 3bet you have quite a range advantage so you can even use a bigger size for range (or just play polar with very big size and checks).
This part is interesting. Something I changed about my strat recently is to only use 1 size on the flop (30%). I was told by multiple sources to use bigger size on wet flops but stopped doing it because I didn't really see the point. After all, with direct flush and straight draws they will call anyway. But something I noticed about my own defending post-flop is that I would call smaller cbets with strong overcards whereas I would fold to bigger bets, so I started to think that's what I should be targeting with cbet sizes but never implemented it.
The fact that it's okay to float with suited broadways with backdoor flush shouldn't be relevant to our sizing choices right? After all it's always possible for our opponents to have that on any non-monocolored board. If we wanted to target that kind of hand we'd be using a big size pretty much always.
So my cbetting behavior would change to: 30% pot on boards that hit my range no matter what. 75% pot on low-card boards (dry or wet w/e, exception maybe monocolored boards?), and only in position (check OOP).
Does all that sound reasonable?
