When up against an opponent with a much larger stack is it wise to be more conservative about utilizing cbets?

What about when a cbet would make you pot committed?

Deepstacks, they pay with a bigger range, so you need to figure out your stack, since you probably have to bet on the turn.

When my cbet will commit me I generally just go ahead and go all-in. Unless I'm bluffing or inducing then I will bet small to get away from the hand or trap.

Usually you need to figure up your stack size post flop when you raise pre. If you are going to be in tough spot on the flop then you should just be going all-in pre.


20-25bb shoves are normal in today's mtts.


Just have a plan when you act. Don't be a button clicker.

Good advice. I think I get in these weird situations when I raise with 15-20 BB stacks and miss the flop.

Generally I bet no matter who I am against to. If I have to cbet I just do it. In any case try not to be pot committed because it is a really a bad play to fold in such cases. Another advice is to control the pot size but you have to understand your opponent's range. Try the check call play instead of keep barreling with draws or just a pair.

One other option is to barrel with smaller cbets so if you get raised you would have the choice of folding! Don't forget that the bigger stack would probably bully you and to be honest this is the right play by him! Hope I helped a little bit.

If you C-bet and you are pot committed you should not be C-betting, you should just be shoving. So more like a stop and go
