C-bet flop... I would normally bet 225-250 here... give up to resistance... not c-betting here is giving away too much...

thanks for all the answers, what is a C-Bet I keep hearing this term but not 100% what it means.

is this call bet meaning if villain bets we call the betting round and wait what happens on next card?

cbet= continuation bet

read artikel about it, way too long to explain + incredibly importent concept in no limit holdem

there is always a bigger fish

I disagree here... a continuation bet often takes this pot down... If you are concerned about position check the flop... once villain checks behind I am betting the turn.... Personally I like to act first here with a continuation bet... often I'll put it at just over 1/2 pot and I take the pot down enough to make the move profitable.... on a board like this I understand that most resistance is coming from PPs and really strong resistance is often a set....

I agree with this. A continuation bet is way too often successful for us to skip this opportunity.
