The basics of Continuation bets.
[ QUOTE ]
I play 6 handed, 50 NL.
Raise 4x BB and get two callers, lets say they cold called, other times lets say they limped then called.
You have QJ and u get a flop like
A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]10 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Is continuation bet worth it here when a lot of opponents could be calling your raise with an A in hand?

Finally I get to contribute something rather than leaching off you guys' brains!
I think you're asking if you should be worried that people play a lot of hands like AXo.
But in the example you showed this is not a continuation bet hand.
You need to semi bluff your double belly buster. Raise about 3/4 to 5/4 of the pot.
I suspect that the OP needs to keep posting and asking questions and working on his hand reading skills.
Things to keep in mind when you are considering a continuation bet.
1. Position
2. Less than 3 opponents , preferably HU.
3. Is the opponent loose? How often do they fold on the flop?
4. Do I have something that I want to show down rather than risk getting bluffed off if he reraises?
5. Texture of the flop.
6. Position
7. Position
Find another example where you made a continuation bet and post it with an analysis of the above 7 things.
Keep posting and asking questions ... I posted a lot of stupid questions to the forum and people helped me a great deal.
