Default Re: Continuation Betting OOP at party $25, should I even bother?

I've made a good amount of money by continuation betting, and I do it almost every time it's heads up.

A couple considerations:
Do you have pokertracker and a HUD? You can simply see your opponents tendencies, and whether or not they are inclined to fold to a flop bet.

MOST importantly, are you potting the flop? My CB's used to be 1/2 pot bets, but I've come to realize that full pot bets command much more respect.

I'd say about 80% of my "grinding" profits come from CB's, and I've been playing the 25's at Party.

Maybe that's my problem, I usually bet around half-2/3 the pot on a CB. If you pot it on the flop, isn't it more of a value bet with ace high? Haven't got pokertracker yet, but probably need to.

if your only plyaing 1 6 max, you dont even need poker tracker, i know quite a few people have turned up their winrate by just paying attention to the table than the stats.
Make a mental note (or an actual note) on who folds to C.bets and who refuses is the key.

Mixing up the size of the c.bet also helps. Do you bet a made hand the same way you bet at a missed flop?

No, because you want the villain to fold. Fold equity is HUGE with CB's in the right spots. Think of how often AK's and AQ's miss flops. If someone bets INTO you, who also raised preflop, wouldn't you be more than willing to muck your hand?
