Continuation bet poker, also known as a c-bet, is a strategic move in poker where a player follows up a pre-flop raise with another bet on the flop, regardless of the strength of their hand. This aggressive tactic can help you build the pot, apply pressure to your opponents, and potentially win the hand without having to show down your cards.<\/p>\n
In continuation bet poker, the player who raises before the flop can choose to make a c-bet after seeing the first three community cards (the flop). By doing so, they can represent a strong hand and force their opponents to fold weaker hands. However, if their opponents call or raise the bet, the player needs to be prepared to adjust their strategy accordingly.<\/p>\n
