The Swings and Cbet at the Micro Level

Always remember that this is a game of long term.  I was 6 buyins down for the week and last night I made that all back plus 2 buyins.  Things will never make sense, but if you stay consistent in your play and are a winner 60% of the time you are going to make money in poker.  My bankroll is getting healthier and I am happy with the progress that I have been able to complete.  Once the bankroll hits $500 it will be time to move up to .02 .05 starting at around 6-8 tables.  I have actually had quite good success at this level, but there are times when you are going to hit a $40-$50 dollar slide in a matter of an hour and you need to really be prepared for that moving up. I can not wait to make that move.  Before I make that move though I am in dire need of purchasing a HUD because I am leaking money in the c-bet area. 

50% is entirely to low and it needs to be at around 70%, but it really is hard to do when you have no information on the tons of people you are facing  by multi-tabling.  Playing a TAG style it is essential to follow up all raises pre-flop with a post flop c-bet, but again I find myself struggling to pull that trigger most of the time because of all the set miners and the general way the game has changed. What I mean here is that everyone cbets now and cbetting on a none scary board oop generally will get a call.  The new cbet is 4th street, bringing a larger pot and a larger cbet to the table and at that point you are most likely getting to half your stack and nearly pot committed, but if you check on 4th oop you just lost the pot and this happening time and time again costs you a ton of money over the long run.  This is why I am currently entirely to low on the cbet, but can decide if I am right or wrong.
