1) Don't bet too much for your continuation bets... I usually bet between 1/2 and 2/3rds of the pot. Sometimes 3/4ths. Never larger. The less you bet, the less often they need to work to be profitable.

I often full pot my c-bets. Or even over bet if the pot is 4.75 or some silly number I'll make it an even 5. I think it gets about the same # of folds as a smaller bet, but you get paid off bigger when you hit and someone calls.....

But I don't do this always. Especially not on dry boards.

The thing about c-bets is that villain doesn't know whether you've hit or not, so you have to balance:

1) C-betting a whiffed flop... you want to lose the least.
2) C-betting a hard hit flop... you want to win the most.

If you c-bet a full pot at regular intervals, when you hit it big and c-bet a full pot you won't be telegraphing your hand. Your c-bet will look like you could have whiffed it and will be more likely to get paid off. Again it's a question of balance.
