[spoonitnow strategy] Thinking About Your Ranges When Continuation Betting

Supplemental Information

On the topic of when it's better to check to induce a bet compared to when it's better to bet yourself, it can be useful to look at a model situation. The most basic scenario for this is being OOP on the river with one bet left heads-up. I've attached a zip file with a simple spreadsheet that gives you the EV of this situation based on a handful of variables. This will allow you to look at different situations and the EVs of those situations without having to do any math.

I get what you are saying but my problem is i don't use any software to see my opponents tendencies online (lol i am old school i can here the laughs not joking ) are there any good programs you can recommend ?

Nothing I've talked about has anything to do with using software. There are other ways to get reads and to figure out how your opponents are playing. With that having been said, you're at a huge disadvantage without it. PokerTracker and Hold'em Manager are the two big poker software programs out right now. Use the search function and figure out which one you want.
