Yeah I think the cbet is worthwile. He is probably very scared of what you have from that 3bet preflop...so i would have to guess your fold equity is solid here.

That being said, once he doesn't fold on the flop it's pretty clear you're toast.

I dunno whether I'd c-bet this board... I'd rather check-call once. If I had a read villain was solid, check-folding wouldn't be terrible.

From experience, your FE after a preflop 3bet is always greater then 50% on any board. That being said, any C-Bet less then the size of the pot is profitable. A 2/3 bet is surely very profitable, although on such a board, I might bet 10$ (a smaller bet might seem too weak).

This depends on the texture of the flop and I don't think that C-Betting is profitable here. Your fold equity will decrease dramatically with that kind of flop. I vote for not C-Betting on this flop!

Always Cbet, looks good.

I think a c-bet is worthwhile on this flop. It's heads up and he's likely to give you credit for hitting this flop. If he puts up resistance, well you just have to let it go, which you did. I like it.

To those saying c-bet... does villain ever fold a hand better than ours?
