| CBets/Multi-way Pots I'm too lazy to go upstairs and get HOH and it might make good conversation anyways so, what the hell... Heads-up on the flop I CBet 70% any where from 1/2 to 3/4 of the pot. How (if at all) should I switch this up in multi-way pots? |

| When c-betting, I take into account 4 main things: 1) How many opponents I've got 2) How wet the flop is 3) How likely are my opponents to fold (fold to flop c-bet %)? 4) Do I have any showdown value? Obviously, if I'm in a multi-way pot, then I want the flop to be dry, and my opponents to be straightforward. The more multi-way the pot is, the more importance those factors have. And by showdown value, I mean, I'll often attempt to check down a hand like ATo on a 228r board, but I will almost always c-bet JTo on a 228r board. Position, stack sizes, and other factors do affect things, but I think that pretty much sums up my strategy. Last edited by c9h13no3 : 2nd October 2008 at 4:08 PM. |

| What I think he really means is that the best way he is winning with JT is to cbet here. With AT he could easily check win with a AT high hand. SOOO many factors come into play on what you should do that this is really an impossible question to just answer. Most importantly other than what has been said is what happened preflop and what is your position. |

| Depending on the size of the pot and the stacks of my opponents tells me when I want to C bet...and of course what kind of player i'm up against. But if I dont connect by the turn, I tread a carefully, unless I'm in the bluffin mood, which isn't that often (been crushed by the trap toooo many times). I just blasted these 2 opponents last night in a freeroll where the raiser c- bet into a baaad situation. I had 120k or so and raiser had like 70k. BB was 1000 and he raised to 10k so I put him on A/ Face and since it was only like 7% or so of my stack i called w 2 4 suited and another player called, which i figured he had face cards. I flopped a full boat and the raiser C-bet like 30k, I raised and the other caller raised all in w/ 110K then the original raiser went all in...i was licking my chops. they both had ace/ face cards. Moral of the story... C-bets are great but know when to get out, and if you didnt connect on the flop don't c-bet so high that you can't recover if you get crushed |

I started as a limit player so I'm always looking for easy to remember rules of thumb to guide my play. That just doesn't carry over to big bet poker. Thanks for the reply... |

But with JT, the only way I can win is to bet. I really can't even beat a bluff. FP made a really great blog post about betting very marginal hands. Lemme see if I can find it. |

Edit: Unless you're saying that's the whole point of betting out with J10, to fold the KQ type hands that are beating you and to win the pot. Right? |
