A decent thread thats slightly relevant.

Look at the cbetting vid on the poker bank.

Haven't watched it in a while but from what I can remember its decent.

Sure, if someone noticed that I do this it would be very exploitable as I obviously cannot take any aggression most of the time, but at uNL zoom where it takes forever to get any kind of sample sizes nobody will ever get any reliable stats on this. Other than that I'm finding it hard to see any reasons not to cbet... Or is this one of the spots where my logic is flawed?
It depends what type of monotone flop and villain type but generally I find the same, that they are good for cbetting.
Bad boards to cbet are ones which hit your opponents range hard and not yours very well. For example the worse board for you is probably 987s. Here against a good opponent you will be in all kinds of trouble cbetting as a bluff. The vast majority of villains range has a pair and gutshot or better. When you see these highly coordinated boards just let it go when you have air.
Don't forget to balance your check folding range by X raising strong hands against aggro opponents though. People will just own you if you don't.
About 22 hand on Qxxr.
Against an aggro opponent i'm more likely to cbet. Against passive more likely to check. Obviously against someone with high fold to cbet i'd rather cbet and take it down but 22 is basically the nut worst hand for barreling. It has basically no equity when called. There are better hands in my range i'd rather cbet when i'm not compelled to do so with 22.

Suppose you check flop and villain checks back, what is your plan for the turn and river ? Pray and hope he does not bet in position ? Good luck with that. And I suppose you play 22-66 the same way so you are losing money everytime except when you hit a set in which case also you are rarely taking villain's stack so opening small pocket pairs UTG is a losing proposition for you.
yeah with 22-33 if i checked the flop i'd basically be XFing the whole way.
Its all opponent dependent.
@ QQ cold 4bet get it in. UTg is a possible fish.
