I did not cbet here. Do you cbet 100% of the time ?

I delay c-bet this spot. Definetly beting the turn.
On the flop I would check behind unless I had a weak/passive read on villian.

The Q is a pretty ugly card for me on the flop so I will check this behind occasionally (paranoid of AQ/KQ type hands I guess).
When checked to a second time here I will rarely check behind, it's pretty much a white flag - but I don't hate the check since there's a good chance you still have the best hand and you can get to showdown cheaply without being c/r off it by one of the numerous possible draws.

If your opponent is known to make some tricky moves, I like the checkdown a little more.

[McSturdy]

I don't c-bet the flop 100% this early on without any reads. The typical unknown is too loose to c-bet every time (at least at the Party 33's where I play).

I def delay c-bet the turn.

[Luisgallo]

Since the pot is so small I don't mind check it down.

Generally OOP I like to cbet this flop while I do not cbet a rags only flop, too many times you will get raised or even check raised if in position.

Size of your c-bet is also important, half pot bet screams cbet and u will get raised much more by mid pairs, that's why I almost always bet that size with monsters; so I will say in this case if you want to cbet make it 120.

[The blackjacker]

I guess it's allright. Flop is so small so checking flop is probably fine to, bet the turn though.

I wonder if the players at the 27's are to aggressive with draws and such to make the contbet a bad play, I don't think they usually are, so I would probably contbet there more often than not.

[Jaswarbrick]

Just a quick question here on the topic of c-bets, when should you make a continuation bet on the flop, and when do you know to make a delayed continuation bet on the turn? Everybody here is saying to bet the turn for a delayed one, but what are the general guidelines for this? Thanks.

[darinvg]

I c-bet here everytime. As played, delay c-bet the turn.

[AMT]

usually i cbet, sometimes i delay cbet, sometimes i take the line that you took. its fine.
