So here's another common situation I get into against aggro players post-flop that I'm trying to work through.
I think everything pre-flop is pretty standard so no questions there. My stats going into the hand was 19/13/5 after 71 hands.
Post-flop I have a couple of choices, I can check flop or c-bet (my current c-bet average in this tourney is 67%)..so let's go though that one. On a dry board, I typically c-bet with my full range as that wins most of the time. If I cbet, should I go higher? 30-40% flop cbets have been working for me and have adopted that strategy more often. If I c-bet versus aggro players, should it be for more to protect my range?
If checking makes more sense here, does a turn c-bet make more sense or just check-down?
Getting back to what happened...the min-raises represents something like 77, A5, 55, or something like KTc+. Since I hold the nut-flush blocker, I decided to call with the plan of pushing the turn to a bet if another club hits. Did my ego get in the way of a fold where I should have just c-bet, fold to the min-raise?
With the turn being a blank, I decided to fold as I'm only beating the KTc+ range and any pair beats me.
Any feedback here would be appreciated.
