Re: Quieting down my aggression and become more passive
[ QUOTE ]
raise with AKo and the flop comes Q 4 9 two suited. And I have no backdoor flush draw. In front of me are two passive opponents. If my opponents are not tricky and are somewhat calling stations where do I draw the line? Am I better off betting than check / calling? I'm more inclined to bet. Discuss

Why would you check? What would indicate that they have any part of this flop?. Bet, your folding equity is great here.

It's pretty clear that I'm not going to showdown enough - my Went to showdown is around 31% - 32%. Therefore where I'm going wrong? My guess is that I should be calling instead of betting the turn with my marginal holdings if a scare card falls. This would solve two things:

Your goal is to win money. Not to go to showdown.
I had a period for whatever reason that I got a bit timid. My winrate dropped to 1bb/100 but my W$SF % went up to 3%.
Soon as I changed back to being more aggresive my BB/100 went back up. Won less pots but more money.
My usual aggresion factor are around 3.30 for both the turn and flop. When I went timid it dropped down to 2.50. At times I maybe am too aggressive but I think it is better then too timid.

Therefore I think a lot of the time with TP or a marginal holding on the turn, I should be trying to see a showdown more than often and that means I should be check/calling out of position, to stop being raised on out of pots on the turn

Bet top pair unless somebody lets you know you are behind. Check allows players behind to draw for free. One of the biggest mistakes you can make.
