This video analyzes optimal c-betting strategies across different flop textures, challenging the common 66% pot sizing. It explores how solvers approach bet sizing on various board types, discussing the importance of protection, equity realization, and range construction. The content provides insights into balancing betting and checking ranges for maximum effectiveness.

Optimal c-bet sizing varies greatly depending on flop texture. Small bets and overbets are often preferred to medium-sized bets for maximizing EV and protection.

The Art of Precise C-Betting

  • Solver prefers small bets and overbets over 60-80% pot bets
  • Low, disconnected boards favor 3/4 pot bets for value
  • High boards often use small bets to include marginal hands
  • Overbetting on dry, high boards maximizes value
  • Protection isn't always achieved through betting marginal hands
  • Checking some one-pair hands is crucial for range protection
  • Board texture significantly impacts optimal betting strategies
