Re: Continuation bets on flop and turn
Against one opponent, the flop doesn't matter. I am making a continuation bet no matter what. If the flop is barren, I'm assuming for now that my hand is ahead, so I'm betting for value. If the board is really drawy or otherwise scary-looking (like a monotone flop), it probably looks scary to villain as well, so I might as well try to fold him out. I honestly can't think of a flop I would not c-bet with against a lone opponent.
Against two opponents, I'm more inclined to c/c or c/f as the case may be. Let's say the board is monotone or shows three consecutive straight cards. I think I take this down with a flop bet against a lone opponent often enough to make a c-bet worthwhile, but adding another loose opponent (who might chase me down with bottom pair or whatever) changes things.
SSHE does a good job of covering this stuff.
