How Often to C-Bet in Poker (Strategy Explained)

How often should you C-bet in poker? Like so many poker strategy questions, it depends! Let me explain why and give you a checklist of continuation bet questions to ask yourself.

There are no simple answers when it comes to poker strategy, so when it comes to c-betting and proper c-bet strategy we can expect no different.
Continuation betting strategy changes based on board texture, range interaction, position, stack size, and other factors.

At almost every stack size on different boards you might not even c-bet the absolute nuts as the preflop raiser in position because you need to protect the rest of your range that is not nutted and doesn’t have strong board interaction.

If you’re building huge chip stacks already but still looking for how to improve at Pot Limit Omaha, No Limit Hold ‘em, or big bet poker in general, Phil Galfond is here to teach you how to think like a professional poker player.

Are you a new poker player or a poker beginner? Do you just need the best Texas Hold'em poker strategy and best Pot Limit Omaha poker tips, or do you have a high stakes poker related question you’d like a poker professional’s advice on?

You would make an excellent tarot card reader. Maybe that’s poker without the mathematics. But your voice could hypnotise a squirrel at 50 yards. Great video and makes a lot of sense.

One of the best in the game. It's amazing how years back I saw all these people on T.V. after getting hardcore into poker. I fell away for years and have recently been trying to reconnect and learn. Those same people look older now LOL

cbet more... deeper, in position, range advantage, nut advantage, dry board frequent smaller wet board bigger less frequent. If your opponent folds too much to cbets cbet more, if they call to much cbet more value less range

You're so right, but the average player doesn't know what you're talking about. (Saying too much and saying nothing at the same time)

You need to add if your sitting at a table with a handful of nits and donks who plays as they seen on tv . Those aren't worth cbetting unless you have a hand. Those players have no clue the real workings of poker play
