Continuation Bets

A continuation bet is when you raise preflop but the flop doesn't do anything to improve your hand so you bet again on the flop. You need to be careful when you make continuation bets. Just don't make some random continuation bet without knowing why you're making it.

When making a continuation bet you want to make sure the flop is good for making the bet. Pay attention to the suits. If the flop comes all different suits that's good for making a continuation bet. If the flop comes low or middle cards that's also a good flop for a continuation bet. An example would be a flop that comes 9-7-2. Firing out a continuation bet here is a good idea. A flop that comes A-Q-10 is not a spot to make a continuation bet.

An important thing to take into consideration when making your continuation bet is how many others players are in the hand. Generally you don't want to make a continuation bet against more than 1 or 2 players. The more people in the hand, the less chance your bet will be effective.
