I don't like to c-bet 3-handed without some kind of draw (unless I have a PP). I'd bet a lot of turns if it were checked to me, not this one. River bet about 0.8 and obv fold to raise.

this is not 3 handed though...

[/ QUOTE ]Er, I mean when two people go to flop with me in middle. If we are the button I can see c-betting sometimes but I still think seeing a turn is good because you have a lot of backdoor draws.

Maybe I am cbetting to much on the flop on then, but the majority of the time I bet out people fold. If we are only betting out when we hit something our play becomes pretty obvious to even the least observant players. If you are not going to cbet this hand, I would probably fold pre-flop.

You mean your PF hand range is dependant on your intention of cbetting the flop?

[/ QUOTE ]that is bad thinking. you don't know how many people are going to see the flop and you don't know what the flop will bring. These are 2 very important factors after already raising preflop.

wtf bet that flop. You take it down like >%70 of the time.

QTs is a dominated hand and I want to force decision on to my opponents at all times. If you only bet when you hit part of your hand, you might as well turn it face up for your opponents. I want people to be folding small pocket pairs because they believe I have a king. I am always looking to put pressure on my opponents when it is cheap to do so.

You are on the CO. Pre-flop raise looks fine.

And that looks like a pretty good board to c-bet on to me: One big card on a rainbow flop.

Preflop is fine.

I continuation bet this flop almost 100% of the time hu. Since you are 3-handed, I would c-bet a much smaller frequency of the time because the greater number of players in the hand increases the likelihood that someone caught a piece of the flop. As a general rule don't be afraid to c-bet the flop whether you are in or out of position when HU.

Turn play is fine.

As for the river, you need to bet more, say $.80-$1.00 and pray that villian pays you off with a 6-type hand. It looks like there wasn't much value to be extracted and you can find much better spots to "bluff".
