Hi all,
I (somewhat) recently stared implementing continuation betting into my overall strategy. When I cbet on a missed flop i often find myself thinking... "how expensive is this play going to get?" I'll c-bet an average amount on the flop (so now the pot is a reasonable size when my opponent calls) and then some turn card always shows up and that doesn't improve my hand at all and then i'm like "now what"? Double barrel? Obviousy I can't do that every time for a few reasons. But anyway... now by the turn the pot is increasingly growing larger which makes the river even more expensive especially if either me or opponent bet into the turn. So what's the deal? I've read that people generally fold to a cbet like... 50 % of the time and that generally people will miss the flop 2 out of 3 times... which is why c-betting is such a recommended move. Often i choose to just check the turn when I miss. I'm sure position matters with a move like that, but i'll check IP and OOP all depending. I don't know if that's just accurately telegraphing weakness in this case or what....
I generally play with stacks that are 100x the BB.
Any words to the wise?
