In this video Gleb "Chai" G. breaks down c-betting strategy in 3-bet pots when you're the out-of-position pre-flop raiser. He explains why many players bet too often, demonstrates correct betting frequencies on different board textures, and shares a step-by-step thought process for making better decisions.

Players often over-c-bet in 3-bet pots. The correct approach varies by board texture, with different strategies for high cards vs low boards.

Game-Changing Poker Concepts

  • Never c-bet hands like Jack-nine on Queen-high boards
  • Betting frequency should be much higher on high boards (A/K/Q)
  • Use larger bet sizes (75% pot) on low boards
  • Always slow-play some of your strongest hands
  • Good opponents will exploit over-c-betting with raises
  • Board texture determines your optimal c-betting frequency
  • Think about your whole range before deciding how to play individual hands
