I don't think I've improved in a really long time am a bit upset. It never really was for the money but to truly get better at this game. I play really tight and just beat on the fish. Shooting fish in a barrel. I vbet when I have the best hand, check when I'm unsure or feel like I can catch up and fold the worst of it. I play in position as much as possible.
I've tried to figure out this game myself and unfortunately have cone as far as I could. Graciously I ask for advice.
I am playing 1/2 attempting to open more hands and play trickier spots.
I isloate 3 limpers with KQo late to 17 with 200 starting stack. BB calls who I truly consider a good reg aa he is fearless and makes plenty of moves. He imo has a great feel to when his hand can get to sd, and turns a lot of hands into bluffs. As long as he isn't raised I see him tripple barrel a lot, I really like his game. Random fish limper calls
flop is QT7 with a flush draw. I cbet 35 into about 45 (looks like the bet is too small but live dynamic is a bit diff than online althougj I prob could bet more). Good reg calls and fish folds.
Turn is an 8 which also brings a flush. Villain leads for 60 into 120 ish with about 120 remaining.
My assumptions
- villain is good enough to bluff here and will follow through on river
-villain can hand read
-my range actually is tighter on such a drawy board, I'm not cbetting as much air as I normally cbet. I'm checking all my Tx here and cbetting Qx or better as well as all my 8 out draws, as well as suited Broadway 3 flushes (as in gutshot and backdoor draw)
-i believe villain to be checking Qx hands on the turn and leading pair Plus draws, flushes, straight draws. Basically nut/air.
Knowing this a call is obvious with a bluff catcher like Qx. Or any random pp I happened to cbet as a bluff. But how do you APPROACH how do u guage how many draws he has here? If it s a pi graph how do I know its 30 percent flush 70 percent air? Or 80 percent flush 20 percent air?
I felt so exploitable in this spit esp with live timing / physical tells and felt my hand to be face up. I know I can flat some flushes here too but I didn't feel like I looked like I ever have 1 here. As a side note ill say that I think most ppl here just raise their flushes to instinctively and that's why tricky reg does this. When flatted it is like a green light to barrel river. I have been noticing this a lot and have adjusted by planning to slow play lots of strong hands against him.
So to summarize how do u guage how much nuts vs air he has?
What can I do to protect myself?
How do I ultimately become a better player?

personally I would call and reevaluate river, because sometimes he would check that to you. The only way to construct ranges for ppl live is to pay attention to hands they showdown and how they played them. I would only bother doing this for a handful of good regs though because you can make standard plays and assumptions against the donks.

I play only micros, but like to work on situations like you described alot - I believe this is when I can get some edge vs other regs.
Basically what I do is estimate his pre flop calling here, plug it in Flopzilla, plug in flop, my cards and you can immediately see how you fare vs his range.
It shows you what % of his range is TP+, draws, marginal pairs, etc. You can play with it even further, select his flop continuation range, how its weighted and u'll see how it changes on the turn. rly great tool imo
