Hi guys. I would like your input on something please.
I play $1-$2 no limit with a buy in $200. Here is my question. What are your playing thoughts when you raise that's say with AK. Board comes J-5-2. you get called by one player. Theory, and all the books say to make a continuation bet always. Here is were it gets tough. You made a raise of $10 and get called. if $23 dollars in the pot with blinds. If you do what all these experts say by making a continuation bet. And you make a half to 2/3 rds bet it's basically a 50/50 shot and you are committed for $20 Where is if you miss and check. Only $10 committed. I think this is a way over rated move in poker and costly!! Most people are going to make calls with face cards that are connected or pairs hoping to catch something. So if you get called on the flop and the turn comes. Unless it is a ace or king. your dead!! considering you have only four cards that can help you unless their is a draw. My thoughts are in poker you have to sit and wait sometime long for the right opportunities. And it's harder to make back large losses than small. I would like to get feedback and reasoning from you guys please on this
