C-bet as IP Aggressor

Lesson 5 · When and how to c-bet in position · 24 practice questions

Why continuation bet?

As the preflop raiser IP, you often have range + position advantage. Continuation bets fold out equity and build pots with value.

Frequency vs size

On dry boards: bet often, smaller size. On wet boards: bet selectively, larger size with strong hands/draws.

When to check back

Check medium-strength hands, give up on terrible boards for your range, and trap with very strong hands occasionally.

Key takeaways

• As IP aggressor with range + position, c-bet small at high frequency on dry boards.
• Size up on wet boards with value and draws; check back medium hands.
• Don't auto-c-bet boards that favor the caller's range.

FAQ

What is a continuation bet (c-bet)?

A c-bet is a bet made by the preflop aggressor on the flop. In position on a dry board you can c-bet a wide range small, applying pressure with both value and air.

When should you check back instead of c-betting?

Check back on boards that hit the caller’s range hard, or with medium hands that prefer pot control and get little worse to call — betting there only folds out air and gets called by better.
