c-betting is about taking down the pot and establishing the fact that we bet when we don't have a monster, so that we get paid when we DO have a monster

I completely understand that. And I c-bet all the time. But sometimes I don't c-bet. Those times are when I have the deck crippled and there is NO hand in villain's range that can call and when I am either WA/WB villian and c-betting is completely -EV because he never calls with a worse hand and never folds a better one.

Here is one of those times. Having a 100% c-bet is just silly...even if you are trying to get paid on your big hands. There is no reason to make a clear -EV play.

I mean, if you have KK on an A92 rainbow flop, there is no reason to c-bet. It has a negative expectation. I'm just asking if c-betting this flop actually has a positive expectation. I'm just not sure that it does. I actually prefer a delayed c-bet on this flop, but I am willing to be convinced otherwise.
