Just. Bet. Pot.

For one, a continuation bet is often a value bet you make after raising preflop and missing the flop. C bets are supposed to not be so damn predictable, like mine are.

Betting 60% of the pot makes it less expensive to put a move on you

I like to make my c-bets resemble what i'd do with real hands. It is usually about 3/4 - 4/5 pot, but i'll go on the high side on a draw heavy flop to appear to be protecting a hand, and on the low side on dry boards like 663 where the opponent probably doesnt have much and it looks as if im enticing a call with an overpair

It also doesn't escalate the pot size fast enough when you have a big hand.

what.

bet what gets them to fold. no reason to pot it if they'll fold to 2/3. if you play 25/15, it's just impossible to keep fattening pots you can't win in a showdown.

C bets are supposed to be half the pot as well instead of 2/3 or 3/4.

Do I get this right? You usually C-bet 1/2 pot, but bet more when you actually have a hand?

You always vary your bets but when I miss, yes Im betting close to half the pot. Its the proper play.

When discussing c-bet frequency, a lot of the comments above would be more to the point if the posters defined whether they play LAG or TAG.

If you are fairly tight and don't c-bet the majority of the time, it simply becomes a fold fest.

If you are fairly LAG, then it's a completely different story.

I play TAG, if I pot bet, or if I don't c-bet the majority of the time, I usually lose too much on my made hands.

So it works better for me to bet around 3/4 pot, and c-bet almost 100% when checked to.

Barring a specific read to modify my action, I have certain betting patterns based solely on the percentages which also keeps opponents in the hand when I have something.

I bet the full pot usually whether I hit or not. Or just a couple dollars under it. It works well.
