Does a check raise show more power when done on the turn or on the river? I find that I am check raising and having alot of folds when done on the turn. check-raise-fold. So I started leading on the turn instead and people weren't even calling down. What can I do to get players to put more bets in when I have the goods? Is a check-call turn or a check-raise river a more profitable morve? Or is leading on the river the best play? Check-raising the river is to cute I am assuming, am I right?

At what point does the stats on your game change? The obvious thing to say is sample size, play more hands, longer sessions. But at what point do your opponents notice & play you differently? When you first get to a table & they look you up & play you judged on the early info, but I am in no way the same player I used to be. Knowing how I used to play I have been able to exploit that with the style I play now & switch gears when they catch up to what I do. Is it possible to just continuously exploit your own play on the early stats gathered by your opponents HUD?

Do you need things like Holdem Manager & other sorts of tracking stuff to be a winning player?
What kind of things do people use?
I can admit I am a losing player & want to change that, so I'm kinda wondering what others recommend? What's the best way to go about things?
