CBet Vs Floating

Altho im only playing micro level MTT/SnG's, im seeing alot more floating (calling continuation bets on the flop) these days in tourney poker.
So my question is...should i be CB more or less these days?
If ur playin a tourney with only 1500 chips a 2/3 or a pot bet can be a bit dangerious. Only to bring a scare card on the turn. Did he realy float to catch that A, or can i use it?
I know a CB will take it down on the flop 2/3 of the times? But sometimes im thinking it's just pissing away chips...
Any theorys on this idea?
Thanks

It depends. There's tons of articles on c-betting. Read them if you really want to know.

Watch the first couple of rounds. Study your opponents. If they have a habit of floating, value-bet them to town. If they don't, take them seriously. I believe regardless, you have to mix it up.

Early, I would avoid c bets unless you had hit something and are using it as a semi bluff. I would try and float as much as possible early. Inevitably, the poor play levels out toward the middle to late stages, where advanced post flop play can be rewarded.

Smaller opens and cbet sizes. More double barrels.

At cheap buyin levels I suspect it's less conscious floating and more "I've got an Ace, I can't fold", in which case yes, you do have to fold to a turn bet when the Ace comes. Overcards on the turn and river are real scare cards because players don't like to fold them.
