the app thing seems really interesting

however, isn't this something the companies could easily do if you can code it single handledly?

A proper cbet range has also been my biggest improvement thus far to date. I wasnt told to just keep it at 60%, but instead cbet based on the amount of outs I have, which interestingly enough resulted in about a 65% range. I'm finishing a lot more sessions in the green these days, and also play on Bovada. I attribute it to simply being more value oriented since the players there are unimaginably bad, you simply must have some equity to outdraw their random pairs or call some crazy donkbet shove when they decide a King on the turn is the perfect card to ship TT with.

you mean HEM/PT? They won't do it unless it is a website with large enough traffic. That website only had around 300 active logins so they don't want to support it. It kinda sucks because that is actually the biggest bitcoin poker website and it is very legit. As a US player I think SwC is far better than a lot of the other ones because of fast cashouts (a cashout takes around 12-24 hours max, and you have 0 limit with cashing out from the site each month). It is just very reg-infested.

Do you want to share how the outs-based cbet logic? I want to learn more too. For me I am cbetting most Axx and Kxx dry-ish looking boards or if I flopped NFD/FD. I think there are some spots that I am not cbetting (very low dry boards where I only have two overcards etc) and it might not be right since I have around 6 outs with 2 overs. I want to get some more input on that.

nice work simon~!

i haven't been keeping up with the games lately, but it's pretty safe to say you should be c-betting low dry boards with 2 overs, at least in 2-way pots. besides likely having 6 outs, you may have the best hand (in which case betting is an easier way to realize your equity than checking).

Yeah so the very basic strat was just to fire 1 barrel with 6 outs, 2 barrels with 10 outs, and 3 barrels with 13 outs, and sometimes 1 barrel with 4 outs (gutshot). I'll of course mix in a total air cbet when the board is dry and shows an Ace/King/Queen. And if the board is horrible like 567dd then I dont cbet a 6 outer. Also to reduce my betsizing to 2/3 pot instead of 3/4 or full pot. This gives me more room to value bet/fold when they spaz.
