C bet situation

[Hobbs.]

villain in the sb is a TAG (26/19 over 4k+ hands)

you raise utg with AxT [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

everybody folds to sb who calls, bb calls.

Flop: J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9x

check, check, we cool with not betting this flop?

edit: sorry forgot to say 6 handed

[dboy23]

why give a free card to 2 opponents?

[BadBigBabar]

3handed i bet this

[shane88888]

I always bet this. You raised UTG and the blinds just called.

I'd bet any two cards in this spot anyway, but here you probably are betting the best hand.

really? you must be running bad. I bet this everytime, even when Im running bad. We have the best hand more than our fair share

[thepizzlefosho]

standard c-bet

Easy c-bet. No one ever has anything on paired boards.

I totally feel like this when I'm running bad. I am trying to make it a habit to auto-bet in these spots and not let my emotions affect the decision.

You will take these pots down on the flop a large enough percentage of the time for it to a profitable c-bet.

Change one of the 9x to a Q or an 8 and I just check.

This one is a bet IMO. You do get 6:1 on your c-bet and if it doesnt work right now you still might win the pot UI. Either with another bet on the turn HU or because you see a SD
