i know its a problem nick, it is getting better honest!! looked back at some of my posts from last year and it makes me cringe., and for a player of his stature this bet sizing must look horrific, but there is still no need to be rude. i even have a posted note on my screen with "bet bigger" on it!! trying to go from a nitty trappy player into a "proper" cash player isnt as easy as i thought it would be. as you know i only started playing cash5mnths ago.
its still no excuse, good players such as him gain no benefit what so ever posting on micro threads, hes not here to make friends nor gain respect hes just here to get a few quid end of so when he gives free advice personally i would be making the most of it having said all that i do admit your betting is so much better than before but going back to the hand you bet the pot on flop and a few said that wasn't great but i think vs bad players its good your setting up the turn were you can get so much more money in but then you waste the opportunity, it might not sound much to you a couple of quid here and there but it makes a ton of difference at the end of the week/month/year whatever
think about the times were you get your whole stack in behind AA vs flopped set and coolers etc, when you do hit big hands you need to get the up most max from it (you need to win more than you lose obviously), sometimes you get paid and sometimes you don't but over the long run you will make more money, DO NOT be worried about losing your customer more so vs bad players just try and get as much as you can in the middle, vs better players you can think about balance more but still go for the max you think you can get
also another thing, when you get advice don't just accept it just because its from a better player you need to fully understand their reasoning, some players just reply "i would 3bet" "that's a fold" basically they are inviting you to question them, ask them to justify their logic and keep asking questions till you fully understand, also it would be more constructive to post less hands and leave less advice on other players threads instead question the good players who post advice keep asking and keep learning
You think opening the button every hand no matter what 2 cards you have is profitable and i quote 'because of theamount of times we outflop our opponents who wont fold' ... you hit a flop statistically 1 every 3 times, therefore we cannot assume that this is a profitable move, at all. And the fact that weaker players wont fold probably makes me more likely NOT to open the button with any two, if these lower stakes players are as weak as your making out, why would you want to go in a pot with garbage against them when they'll call you down? Without doubt -EV !!
It's such weak play opening with small connectors, firing out a C-bet, getting called, and shutting down. You're bleeding money away, even if you win the occasional pot by double barreling, it's not profitable. The players you see doing it every Saturday night on the cash tables have a fairly accurate understanding of their opponents calling range and how they play.
