When to Auto bet

When making a preflop raise with AK, AQ, KQ, etc and you miss the flop completely, under what circumstances do you NOT auto bet the flop when checked to? I know heads up is probably always a bet, but with 3 or 4 or more what do you do? Does it depend on how coordinated the flop is? Does it matter if you are first to act, last to act, middle?

Flop texture is very important. If the flop is something like J97 with 2 of a suit, don't autobet it. That flop is bound to hit someone. Now if the flop is 358 rainbow, I am betting this flop almost every time.

The first one, no less. I guess I should have looked here before asking the question. Thanks.

If you're interested I made a quiz on this a while back here.

That's okay, I accept that not everyone reads the Digest that I pour my heart and soul into. <pauses for silent weeping>

In any case, don't apologize, that thread certainly is not the be-all end-all on the topic.

I see this thread every other day. Read the miscellaneous section in WLLHE. They have a HUGE discussion on things to consider here. It's extremely important to read and understand that... since this issue comes up so many times when you play.
