Theory - Continuation bet with a draw

[soon2bepro]

Typical case scenario, you raise to 3 blinds from say the CO, one of the blinds call. Both of you have 100b deep stacks. You flop a flush draw in a flop containing two broadway cards, you have two lower cards. The blind checks, you?

A lot of winning players say this is a good spot for a continuation bet, since even if that doesn't work, you increase the size of the pot, not to mention mix your play up.

I however think it's a best scenario to be able to get out of a hand easily when you're bluffing, and so I would tend to take the free card with a draw like this, so I don't get compromised in putting in a substantial portion of my stack while I'm the underdog.

What do you people think?

i would suggest picking one of the two options and doing it every single time.

ppl around here won't give away advanced concepts like this for free.

Wait, wait, wait. Some of you guys c-bet as a bluff?

I will never understand these high stakes games.

FWIW I think it might be a good idea to check behind occasionally because if you hit your hand will be really disguised since like 99.9% of people always cbet draws in HU pots.

If the opponent check-raises light than the better play might be to c-bet and 4 bet his check-raise, mixed in with checking behind sometimes with c-betting being more often.

Seriously RBK...?

I would advocate mixing it up against a random...

[traheho]

mixing it up, yes however i'd say bet upwards of 85%
