C-betting in NL10.

[Cody1982]

I ‘m in need of some guidance as far as the art of the C-Bet. If possible could you give two reply’s one for early-mid (I’m raising PF with solid values from early-mid position) and late position ( I loosen my starting values and blind steal a lot when the pot is unopened)

Are there specific times when you should or should not C-bet ?
How much does position play a part in the decision to C-Bet ?
Should I only try to C-Bet 2 or less opponents ?

It depends on the flop texture and opponents calling ranges. Opponents calling ranges are wide at 10NL, so cbet relentlessy at 10NL. I moved up to 25NL now, but when I played 10NL I cbet about 95% of the time, but really 25 is the same.

its always great when you have position and villains check to you so your cbet decision is easier. In early position, you really have to analyze flop texture and determine is a cbet is profitable. You dont want to cbet a flop where only better hands will call and worse hands fold. At 10NL, this isnt too importnant yet.

I think this is a good rule of thumb, though sometimes I will cbet a 4way pot. (prolly a leak)

I made cbets all the time at NL10 and was very successfull. Try to only do it in position and when no one has shown much interest +make it BIG -> Always 2/3 - full Pot. I think betsize is the most important thing against loose player.
