C-Bet
Context: Poker term: C-Bet C-Bet (continuation bet) refers to the behavior where the player who raised preflop continues to bet on the flop. Its core purpose is to continue the preflop aggression, using the strong image established preflop to force opponents to fold, even if the player did not hit the flop. In practice, C-Bet is a key strategy for controlling the pot and applying pressure, forcing players with weak hands or draws to fold, while also concealing one's own hand strength. However, one must pay attention to frequency and board structure to avoid becoming passive after being reraised or called by opponents.
