Again, I'm new to poker. I usually C-bet oop heads up every time, I'de never played this guy before so he wouldn't notice anything weird here. Before the flop I had him on TT-QQ, AK. I was hoping he'd bet if he had the last king, so I could check re-raise. I had the King of diamonds so I wasn't really too worried about him having the flush draw. Also didn't want to scare him away if he had the Q's since I wanted his stack. Should I c-bete when I'm pretty sure I'm far ahead or is this ok?
Thanks

But when uve hit the board THAT hard is it really going to be likely ITLR that youll get called?

[hendrix23]

That's what I was thinking. I wanted to show a little weakness so he'd be more comfortable putting his money in on 4th street. Maybe I should have c-bet a small lead to allow someone to come over the top, but still get money in the pot, and show weaknes?

[PietM]

You want money in the pot. Players that don't call a flopbet, won't call a turnbet most of the time.

I wouldn't bet small here to show weakness. A lot of players bet small to 'lure players in', but I don't think it works that often.

you should be cbetting like 90% of flops regardless of whether you hit or not.. more based on texture of board and number of opponents in the hand.. If you base it on how hard you hit the flop this can become exploitable to observant players. But it's ok to say bet a little less than you normally would to induce a call/raise imo.

[Keitan]

And against some players I'll even bet more than I normally would.. like pot-size if I think they'll think I'm trying to push them out of the pot.. These opponents generally seem annoyed, skeptic, and are losing at the moment.

[hendrix23]

Yeah, I've been C-betting 95% of the time, the same amount to disguise my hand. This is the only time I havn't c-bet oop like this heads up. I've had a couple cases where I flop a full house or something.... c-bet...everyone walks away, and I'm sure I should've been able to get more out of it. Just wanted to try something here.

Given his stack size, a smaller c-bet would have him tied to the pot pretty soon. Maybe that would be a good move?
