Cbetting A high dry boards with no equity for 70% pot is bad. Its bad for your whole range really, though in live poker you can get away with these face up value spots alot.
I say its the biggest leak bc it is the most impactful.
If we filtered a database for everytime someone bet 70% pot on A high dry with no equity, we'd see they were burning money compared to a smaller sizing filter of the same board.
If we filtered a database for everytime someome yolo'd an open ender, we'd see its meh.
Alot of people on the forums focus on the big $ decisions in a posted hand instead of focusing on the small $ decisions that have significantly more volume (we cbet A high boards alot)
This. Including a hand in a large flop bet-size range that has showdown value, but very little equity when called seems odd to me, but I would be interested to understand an overall strategy where this has merit. Most of the value of c-betting 55 here would be to fold out a lot of hands with equity that we are ahead of, knowing we are near-dead when called.
As an aside, I thought the newer "school of thought" that has come about that advocates down-sizing bets would call for a 15-35% pot c-bet on this board, rather than a more standard 40-50% pot c-bet.
