Hi,

1) Is it ok to cbet 1/2 pot on boards which hit my range, like Txx, Jxx, Qxx, Kxx, Axx, because I want cheap bluffs and to make opponent to defend bigger part of range where he would make mistake vs my range.

2) If e.g. opponent folds 50% vs cbet flop, and I have 50 value combos on flop and would chose for that 50 bluffs as standard vs unknown. Because this opponent folds 50%, how much more in % would you bluff to exploit him, but not to overdo it? Same for raises
Is it better to cbet vs such opponents 1/2 pot to exploit them even more ? (I am not sure if then such a opponents defends more).

3) If I have 50 combos value on flop, how many bluffs should I use in order to have good bluff value ratio? I know on turn and river, but flop is a bit more complex, since our draws have a lot of equity and cant be considered as bluffs.

Hey Mlatasrb,

Preflop open is fine.

It's ok to cbet here, for protection/bluff. The less vulnerable our hand the more likely we will be to check back. So we might check back something like 99 here.
Current bet-sizing is fine.

As for your question it's actually pretty complex and depends on a number of factors including stack size. Assuming 100bb effective stacks we probably want somewhere around a 3:1 bluff value ratio on flop when we cbet. It'll be lower amount of bluffs with smaller effective stacks and higher amount of bluffs with larger stacks. Also depends on average amount of equity of your bluffs and average amount of equity of your value hands.
