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
