C-Betting?

[ATM]

If im on button with Ace King suited and make a standard raise and get called by two opponents say one in blind and one limper. If it is checked round to me When should i make a C-Bet? 80% of the time if i miss the flop or somethin. does it depend on the opponents who have called me and the texture of the board?

Depends on your read of the players and yes, texture of the flop, but I will almost always c-bet in this situation. Could be a leak, but I almost always take down the pot right there.

kk any other thoughts on this topic?

against unknown opponents if I'm in position I will c-bet pretty much 100% of the time. If one or more of the opponents is a station I will obviously take the free card.

I added fold to cbet on the my hud and use it constantly... some players will never call a cbet unless they hit

I c-bet here most of the time and it is profitable.

I have another question about this:

I find AK harder to play in situations when the villains doesn't check but instead almost always donkbet into me. What do you other guys do when this happens? Since they often bet into you when you are the PFR:er, you can't be sure they have hit or not, and you have missed the flop yourself. If I have other outs like a good draw or if the flop doesn't seem to have hit anyone hard, I am more willing to continue with a raise or call. How do you other guys do?

C-betting is really, really nice. I just find it hard sometimes to act correctly when the control is taken from me like this. Suggestions?

If it's a donkbet I'll usually raise it up to about 3x the bet.

No need to reinvent the wheel here. Check out the most excellent magazine article on C-betting (I think it was May +/- a month).

Yeah if they are min-betting or close to min-betting (which is usually the case), I raise and just consider it like a c-bet. 3 possible scenarios here, 2 of which are good:

1.) Donk has nothing and was bluffing, terribly. They fold and you collect an extra bet.
2.) Weak-tight donk actually has something and folds thinking your raise means you have a big hand. Donk feels good about folding. You feel good about sitting a table with said donk.
3.) Donk calls or re-raises and you shutdown. No different than if your c-bet had been check-raised.

Now if they make a real bet I usually just fold. Most of the time this means they actually hit their hand. Then, I laugh, because I just saved the cost of a c-bet.
