Re: To CB or not to CB
There are two kinds of hands to worry about on the flop: made hands and draws.
A flop like this is less likely to hit an opponent in a fashion that gives him a made hand than a board with three different ranks, which makes a c-bet a good idea.
The other likely hands here are straight or flush draws, in which case you actually have the best hand at the moment with the best two possible unpaired cards (unless opponent has A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]) which would make your bet a value bet. A combo draw like 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] would have much better equity, but in immediate value would still be behind your hand.
In general, paired boards are rather good for c-betting. Go ahead and make one.
