So this thread has been super inactive but I think it would suit my beginner-style question, regarding cbetting.
I think I do understand quite a few aspects of when to c-bet and how much, but lately I have been re-doubting one spot that occurs so often. Let's say we are >50 BB deep and have A
Q
in late position (CO/BTN), open to 2.2 and get called by BB. Now flop is something like J
7
3
BB checks - now do we cbet here or not?
My thoughts: this is a very dry board which has missed V's range often enough and we have a clear range advantage because we have all overpairs and more strong Js etc. So we can cbet frequently and smallish (~1/3 pot) and expect to pick up the pot decent amount of the time with a lot of our range. However, AQ is here exactly a hand that doesn't benefit from a cbet because we are unlikely to fold out better hands and won't get called by worse. Therefore AQ is a good check behind and try to get to showdown cheaply if we don't improve, calling off one potential bet. Is this a sound/ok strategy against most opponents at the lower stakes MTTs?
