Default Re: When not to make a continuation bet

this is a good way to bleed off chips. this is so easy for other players to pick up on. how many time that you raise preflop, will the board actually hit your hand?

in your example, you say you flopped 3 Aces and someone raises your CB. How often does this happen? #1, villain would had to have hit his hand or try and make you think he did(probably not an A since you have AA and since you bet preflop, he's going to be worried that the A hit you unless he hit 2 pair or lower set - maybe a draw).

Continuation bets are what they are and you won't always have first in vigourish after the flop. Are you going over the top when you miss the flop and someone leads out. Bet, bet, bet seems to indicate that. I assume when you miss the flop, you are folding SOMETIMES to a postflop bet from OOP villain.

Really believe if you are too predictable, that your opponents will be able to use this against you and your percentage of times that you take down the hand drops drastically because of your standard line.
