Continuation Betting at LIMIT Low Stakes

[Grandma_DOG]

I'm asking the forum for advice when NOT to CB after a PF raise.

Ok, I'm playing LIMIT low stakes where I can find and plug my leaks cheaply.

There are some adjustments down at these lower levels. Obviously there are more callers in every pot, there are more calling stations amongst those callers. Worse, is the random new players who pop in whom you've never seen and have no idea on their play and PT has no stats for them.

On the positive side, I've found the CB to be quite effective down here HU or with 3 in the pot.

However, on average I have 5 callers in a pot. Even if I raise in EP, I'll often get 4 callers.

So I've had to make some rules when not to CB. Let's see if you agree...

1. If there are 2 or fewer in the pot, CB is a must. Its definitely +EV.
2. At 3 other players in pot, its Iffy, depends upon board texture and position.
3. With 4 or more, and the flop was terrible- don't bother, someone somewhere has something, and if he doesn't someone else has nothing and will call you down with it. A CB is just throwing money away.
