hey, this is my first post on this forum, so please don't dismiss me as a donkey. lol..

My advice, i think is that cbetting is a standard play for most players. However, it so standard now that I do this thing called a "called bluff." Which, I call their cb and bet on the turn. I'm also good at reading hands and players, but I could smell cbetting from a mile away for some reason.

because so many players seem to think they can get away wit it. I play NL100 by the way.

So when I cb, I always follow these guidelines, and I found it to be more effective.

When I raise preflop, I always cb if I have 1 or 2 player and the flop is high, low, low. And if it's drawy, I don't cb. You don't want to cb on a drawy board. Because players that chase, will chase it. And if you want to build the pot up when u have a draw, check and reraise. because you want ur draws to make huge money. rember the old principle, have the pot small when you want it small, and have it big when u want it big. if u cbet when ur drawing and he calls, then you still have a small pot. and when he calls, you can't tell if he's drawing with you or not. if u check, and he bets, then u reraise with ur draws, thats increasing the pot size. and u can read him a lil better.

hope this answers ur questions.
