You use this bet when you have a strong hand and you've put your opponent on some kind of write. The odds are they will not hit their draw so you place a bet and form them pay to chase after their draw. This way you'll be good to accrual the size of the pot or they will fold to you as they do not long to risk chasing the draw.
This is a solid method because if you have the best cards you will win. However always getting the best cards isn't as easy as it sounds. Tight play will increase your profits here.
Well, this mistake in my logic started to cost me a lot of money. I'd get into the habit of playing 8 tables at a time and then throwing out c-bets left and right without even thinking about it. The only rule I had was that I wouldn't c-bet if there was more than 1 opponent in the pot.
poker betting strategy Another trick is to let your opponents take each other out. Play big hands when you have them at the beginning, just to keep your stack alive, but don't risk it all unless you know you've got the nuts (best hand possible with the showing cards). This way, you'll let your opponents feast on each other while you sit back and collect chips now and then. Then when there's only a few left, you'll go to work, completely changing your betting strategy, and no one will be able to touch you.
You will eventually get it right more times then you think. "He has a pair of queens" or "I think he is drawing for a straight" are examples of what your internal chatter should sound like.
For low entry fee online tournament players I saw this book as a glimmer of hope in that someone may have put forth some thought in to how to actually win tournaments consistently at that level. It seemed to me though that playing "small ball" poker with clusters of players who have little regard for position and the real value of hole cards might be an interesting experience, but not profitable.
Being able to correctly put another player on a hand and know what cards he has is what separates the winners from the losers. It's what makes the professionals the pros and the amateurs going home broke at the end of the day.
