Default Re: Why some players avoid continuation bets on UB 10/25, 25/50?

"good player" doest mean the same thing as "will roll over everytime you bet at the pot". if you auto bet against better players you work your way into some pretty nasty spots. also, many players in higher limit games raise more pre-flop. this means the avg hand you end up with after the flop is not as strong so if you routinely make continuation bets you end up betting a lot of crud. another factor is that, even when its pretty likely your hand is best, you might have a hand that plays out better if you check behind, either cause it controls the pot or induces him to bluff.
