Re: Never C-betting with air.
not Cbetting is 0EV. so we are only interested in Cbetting air if it is higher than 0EV.
we can quickly calculate that:
people miss flops 2/3 of the time. so if you make a Potsized bet when you miss, (assuming they fold if they miss and that if called you are drawing dead and shutdown) it will have to work 50% of the time to break even. they will fold 66% of the time because they have also missed.
so you can see that it is +EV.
this really is the simplest way of thinking about it, you can go into alot more detail about it, but this will suffice imo
