Default I just thought of this. Has anyone asked this before?

C-betting...i like to bet around half the pot, which turns out that it's around the same size as your preflop bet, if you get one caller. Now there's some SERIOUS psychology here i'm sure, whether you bet alittle less than what you bet preflop, the Exact amount you just bet, or alittle more...psychologically, which amount ends up doing what? Which one will make them think you're bluffing, or trying to trap? Making your opponent overthink is a great thing, and i'm just curious as to what your opinions are...an example.

You have QQ....all fold to you on cutoff, and raise 150. BB calls. Pot is 325 on flop.
1) Bet 130
2) Bet 150 again
3) Bet 175

All three different bets will make your opponent think alittle different, i guess what i'm asking is what do you usually like to bet to get them to fold, or to get them to call you down?

Don't you think 130 is more deceptive? I want to take down big pots with my premium hands, not get everyone to fold.

act weak = be strong, act strong = be weak... still pot it, though we have no idea what the flop is bringing, right?

This is the optimal poker strategy, since it is a game of incomplete information.

I see neither variance nor bad beat anywhere in this post.

Just because you only win chump change, doesn't mean you have to make your jealousy so obvious.
