I Bet 22 and thats probably the last $I invest here 0:

[_TKO_]

Instinctively, this seems like a pretty bad flop to c-bet, since it probably hits his range pretty well.

cbetting sucks here, i just cant think of anything else id do in this spot.

cbetting here turns your hand into a total bluff (which well, it kinda is anyway. On top of that I think he is raising any bet you make here every time.

I think c-betting is standard. He folds almost all the small pairs he's hopping to hit a set with. If we put his calling range high like AQ+ and 1010+ i think it sucks, but that range is WAY to narrow.

I think sightless nailed it. Bet/f and then c/f the rest of it.

up you go

from a villan like that, aren't you WA or WB his raising range from the button right there so i like a c-bet because you either take it down with your TP but on a call or a raise, now he shows you your most likely WB or outplayed you with his position, which is just a risk we take when we 3-bet a8 OOP

[monkeymaps]

I cant see doing anything else but bet, yeah It turns your hand into a bluff but your not going to c/f.

and i think his range includes alot of small PP and SC that missed.

How light do you think he calls your 3bet? he has position and knows your 3bet might just be a resteal so that might even broden his range more.

guys who are looking to move up,

I really think you should read this thread and try to get us a decent discussion, this situation is more common than you think and well, we are already in a pot the size of a by in at your prveious limit.
