In general, I will CB when OOP and I miss with hands like AKo, JTs etc. I'll also obv bet when these hands do hit.

In position, I will check behind if my hand has no real way of improving, i.e. raise OTB, flop of and my oppo checks, I'll check behind. If checked to again, I'll stab and more than often not take it down.

I have been doing this for the last three days since I decided my flop aggression was getting out of control, and this generic overview of how I Cbet has worked a charm.

I do only play $50NL though.

Something to consider is who your opponents are:

If I know the villain is a calling station, I'm way less likely to CB when I miss.

If I raise and get 3 callers and I'm in MP. Well I'm probably not CBing if I miss.

Also, I like to mix it up and not CB when I'm in position because it gives me a chance to outplay them on the turn if they are typically loose passive types. If you have position and he cks and you ck the flop and then he checks the turn as well, you can pretty much take it down there every time and even calling stations fold there quite often.

All that being said, I CB probably 85% fo the time.

T-Rod, could you see if you can find a specific hand that was HU where you didn't CB?

I have read a bunch of general discussions of this question before, and it doesn't seem to sink in. I'm hoping that if I get a bunch of specific hands with specific reasoning behind them, I'll be able to get it to hit home and really take hold in my brain.

Thanks to everybody for all the conversation so far. I have a lot to read, re-read, and absorb. But the more participants the better, so thanks in advance to anybody else who wants to chip in with their own examples.

Thanks Sem.

Are we talking in or OOP here?

I was talking mostly about in position, however I think generally the same approach applies OOP when you have momentum in the hand. The only problem is you don't have control over the pot size, the player in position does.

OOP you may be forced to fold draws or weaker hands more often.
