In NL Beginners Course>How to play after the flop>Continuation bets
What is the difference between:
EXAMPLES OF BAD FLOPS FOR CONTINUATION BETS
and
EXAMPLE 3 - NO CONTINUATION BET
I don't see any major differences here. First example is a meidum connected flop and example 3 is a lower connected flop. What is the difference?
Another question:
If i isoraise against a tight limper, i guess i could cbet most flops right? Or if a tight player called my raise i could cbet most flops?
Hello,
I think I failed to understand the essence of your question here - do you have the boards given or do you want to know what's the difference between bad boards to cbet and boards which we do not cbet?
If it is the first one, please post the boards as I can't seem to find them in the Beginners Course.
If it is the second one - well there is a difference here.
A bad board to cbet is such which does not hit our range but hits villain's one and we don't expect a lot of calls.
A board where we do not cbet is the major thing - it consists bad boards to cbet, as well as boards where we can check back hands with showdown value.
Overall, tight limpers tend to play pretty straight-forward. So, according to this little tip, we could successfully cbet most boards and barrel a lot of turns, as they are likely to fold a lot.
NOTE: This is not absolutely truth for everybody and you should be aware of reads/stats/notes if available.
Best,
Plamen
On the left side when i'm replying to your post, it says: "HTML is NOT allowed". I'm not quite shure what it is but if HTML is the same as a link, then just report this thread and get it removed and sorry for the inconvenience.
Here's the link to what i'm talking about:

Scroll down to "continuation bets and tell me the differences between:
All of the examples on:
"EXAMPLES OF BAD FLOPS FOR CONTINUATION BETS"
and
the example on:
"EXAMPLE 3 - NO CONTINUATION BET"
Okay, so from what I can see here, there is no difference between those two examples.
I guess the second one is for easier picturing with which hands we are not supposed to bluff on such boards.
What is your personal opinion here? I would have thought that whether or not to bet, all comes down to your opponents ranges. Do you agree?
Of course it comes down to the opponents range plus his tendencies, also our range should be taken under consideration as well.
Overall, this is a complex theme, but I guess this article is written for beginners for which it is important that they don't get overwhelmed with information so stuff like don't cbet this board, or cbet that board are quite useful in the beginning of your career.
I see. I guess the first thing i should have done is to take this course the first time i started out. I have kinda learned concepts in the wrong sequence. If i could go back in time, i would have done thing alot more differently.
Thanks for the replies:)
