Re: My first complaint about Harrington on Hold \'em.
I love the book as well, but let me ask you (and others) a question.
Do you feel that it oversimplifies continuation bets? Not when or how much to bet, but folding to any resistance.
Harrington spends a lot of time giving examples of making a continuation bet after a pf raise, but utimately says you should fold if you get called (check/fold turn) or raised. It seems that there should be more on hte player and what he may have.
For example, you raise pf with AcKs and get one caller (you are first to act), the flop comes 2h5h9d, you make a conituation bet of 1/2 the pot, villian calls. Harrenton basically would say that you are behind and to fold if you don't improve. But what if you know the player tends to chase draws by calling 2:1 pot odds. Should you fire another barrel at the pot on the turn or check/fold to a bet?
What do you think?
