Instead of the continuation bet...
Villian was interesting. He was a maniac preflop, (76/35), but postflop he was actually fairly decent. My table image was good, I'd been showing down winners and folding a fair bit preflop, (crappy cards).
I find that against decent postflop players the continuation bet can be a bit obvious. Does anybody else do this? Standard? Boring? Merry Xmas as well to all you guys and gals.

Re: Instead of the continuation bet...
Against a player that likes to make BIG LAYDOWNS I think this is ok. Especially if you've seen him fold and show his cards to the table, or he's table coaching etc.

Are you going to bet the river if he calls?

Re: Instead of the continuation bet...
I like it against this player assuming you let go with any more action and/or check behind on the river.
Had a player with a similiar MO the other night but even worse. He was 90VPIP; 44PRF but his WtS was 38% and his W$SD was 50. Postflop wasn't great but it was better than his preflop and he was winning at the table I was at. Nice to have him on my right because I could 3bet and face the field with two cold PRF. |

Re: Instead of the continuation bet...
you're getting 5.5-1 on a continuation bet
you're getting less than 2-1 on the turn raise continuation bets are almost always good because you're always getting great odds |

Re: Instead of the continuation bet...
did you love the fact that the board paired when you tried this, or did you hate it?

You don't get odds to bet. With the option to bet or check, you have infinite odds since you can take a card for free. You can, however, give your opponent odds by betting. On the continuation bet, he get 6.5:1 to call and on the turn raise he gets 5.75:1 to call. The turn raise actually puts more pressure on him odds-wise, but all of this is meaningless if Villain was trying to checkraise the flop and is now crushing Hero. |
