Default Continuation bets

Situation that frequently happens:

$1/2 6max

I raise with KQo from UTG+1, SB and BB both call, they're both stupid typical low limit players.

Flop is like 4 4 3 rainbow. They both check and I'm not really sure what to do because I'm likely to get called in both spots with jack high and nine high.

Do I bet here? I am not sure why?

Any general advice on contination bets with nothing? In no limit I could bet with just about anything and expect to take it down like 75% of the time.

thanks for the input!

go back to jerking off to videos of yourself playing poker.

obviously, yes, i'd want them to call me with those hands, but these spots confuse me because not every time to they have those hands, a lot of the time i'm called down by A2, or 22.... or say its actually a

J 7 4 board and I get call down by pocket 5's.... etc.

perhaps I needed a better example?

That's called getting paid. Bet. Your reduced folding equity is made up for by increased value.

You can bet a turn blank as well, or check behind and play the river by ear.

This situation happens approximately one billion times a night so you'll need to develop patterns for it. I bet in the spot you describe most of the time, but I will mix in checks as well. mmmm... checks mix.

Just bet it. Your fold equity it greater then you think and you probably have the best hand still.

Ok cool, can I make up some more situations where I raise PF, and 2 loose crappy idiot players check to me and get some input...

QT on 972r flop

KJ on T87r flop

A8 on T75r flop

QJ on 852r flop

Always bet these? Ack.

My advice is to do some reading if you haven't already. Namely the FAQ sticky at the top of this forum has a lot of great stuff.

Thanks for the link.

I guess I took "posting guidelines" to be something about bison bisons hand converter, common abbreviations, etc.

Not to mention in the FAQ the links to more good threads should be easily identifiable, etc.
