Hi CC

Just wondering what are the important factors others like to take into consideration when c-betting and calling a c-bet?

ok the simple way of saying this is "you should be the person asking questions, put them on a range pre

so there is a raise from UTG, and a raise from the button 2 different hands, same opponent, his range in theory should adjust, if he is raising from the button you can flat call later, but is he going to slow down if you call his flop cb

what hand are you holding, do you think your ahead, do you think he will or can fold
if your hand is a draw, is he giving you the correct odds to draw

if hes giving you the correct odds then the most profitable way is to call it, because if he re raises again then your in trouble.

now as for CBing yourself, look at your opponents, what are they calling you with, are they the type of opponent that floats any 2 cards to see what you do on the turn, what is your table image like.... what kind of board is it wet or dry etc etc

I like to do both when I'm in good position (button). Example: let's say you flop a flush draw. Your opponent bets, but you don't exactly have the pot odds to call. However, if you do call, there is a good possibility your opponent will check on the turn if he holds a mediocre or weak hand, and if you didn't hit your draw, you can also check and get a FREE card for the price of the one flop bet.

For making a c-bet, if everybody checks to you and nobody is left to act behind you, you should bet most of the time, regardless of what hand you have. It puts your opponents in a difficult position to call a large bet out of position with a weak or average hand (unless they slowplay).
