What kind of guidelines do you guys use for cbetting? IS cbetting usual for you even if you hit the flop or not? What about he pot percentage? Is it normal for you to cbet a missed flop? Maybe you bet the percentage when you hit the flop? I don’t know.

Don’t you think that if you bet the same percentage every time, whether you hit the flop or not none of he other players will be able to figure out where you stand? What do you think?

I just really want to know what guidelines everyone else has for this? I don’t really have my own way of doing this, but I think I am doing it way too much. I hate when my cbet and check are called because then I don’t know what to do. Do I fire again when they check the turn or do I just check behind them? If I do this then I fire again and then I’m scared
To make a big bet again because I’m scared they are trapping me. Knowing thes right time to cbet is my hugest weakness.

I think you need to cbet 90% of times against weak players. This is the best choise. Whether you are in a good position or not, the only thing that matters, is whether your opponent checkraises.

If he doesn’t, then cbet 90% of the time. This is really important to remember in microstakes.
