I don't think it's that simple to decide whether or not to C-Bet. Especially in online poker. You have many variants to watch before deciding: What is the type of game, how is your stack. What kind of behavior the other players at the table are having. How is the stack against whom you are going to play in that hand?
Poker changed when it went online.

Understanding the difference between different bid goals is very simple. The whole difficulty lies in the fact to be able to correctly distinguish bet as a bluff and betting for value. I think it will become much easier with experience, so the sooner I practice, the better.
I am glad that I correctly answered the questions asked in this lesson, so my previous lessons are not in vain. See you in the next lesson. Good luck!!

Wow, amazing class, I'm actually used to this concept, but they give some really nice examples and commentaries. And, beside that, I liked it very much the tip for not having some kind of "square" game, you just play each hand by it's context, and not by some rules you "learned" going down this road.

According to my PokerTracker analysis, I C-Bet too often, so obviously I would say yes.
- Always C-Bet in position with one (or maybe two) opponents.
- Never C-Bet out of position with more than one opponent.
- Sometime C-Bet out of position with only one opponent.

I try to cbet , with one opponet and on dry board with K or A it's easier , ofcourse it depends on the villain , if there 're more villains I will not c-bet without sth to be able to catch on later streets , especially oop , if it's a family pot with 6 or 7 players like in CC freerolls , lol , then mission failed and return to HQ , lol . I have to learn a lot more , so I will improve to even more dificult circumstances of c-beting , with or without bluffing or semi-bluffing (I guess 🙂) . Good luck everyone .
I c-bet quite often.
-If my hand is really hard to improve, but the flop hits my range
-If I have top pair decent kicker
When I hit the nuts or close to it I mix between check and c-bet, if I have a good draw the same think. All in all I definetly c-bet more than checking.

If you're playing zoom poker and won't face the same opponents often you can consider that, otherwise you get to predictable and will face a lot of reraises, people will slowplay their good hands with you and let you bluff and may reraise even worse hands than yours because they know you're c'betting with any 2 cards.ringworm said:

This is a very good point. A lot of static strategies work well in a vacuum but allow observant opponents to play well against you. So you can use them in large player pools or formats like lower-stakes Zoom, but not as much against tough opposition.

Good question.
Against maniacs, you should c-bet less often. If you miss, be more inclined to give up unless the flop is dry and they sometimes fold. If you connect and your hand isn't vulnerable, then be more inclined to check to them if you're out of position.

Good question, there can definitely be differences depending on the specific spot. For example, suppose we have a marginal draw vs an aggressive player. We're probably more inclined to check back with position because we're guaranteed a free card, whereas OOP we bet because we don't want to give him the opportunity to take control of the pot.
