Default NL 50 - to cbet or not to cbet



Villain bought in for a short stack and has been very loose and utterly passive for 40 hands or so. He has limped more than 1/3 of his hands and has never opened for a raise. Is it better to c-bet here, or would you sit back and try to tempt him to put some money in if he has an unimproved pair or maybe Ax (maybe he hits his kicker on the turn)?

I don't mind checking... I don't mind betting for value either... I'd go with a bet if you think he's a big enough station to call with A-rag/bottom pair/lower pocket pairs. In general that seems to be the case with these guys so I'd probably cbet for 1/2 to 1/3 pot more often than not.

I am c betting here 80 percent of the time. If he calls , I'm pretty much done with the hand and will check the turn and see what he does on the river.

I would C bet most of the time here. If he calls check the hand down if possible.

Check. Everything that you beat will fold anyway and Q's and K's will call. You have showdown value. Revaluate the turn.

Hi. pretty much it is dry board, so you can check and see his reaction on the turn.
Basically bet 60% of the time.
Better hand will call, worse wil fold.
