Good post -- I also used to think along these lines in the above example and often played it as you suggested. The problem was I found that often I would simply give an opponent free cards and he would pair up later on in the hand, and I wind up kicking myself for not cbetting (when its so likely opponent missed flop). Yes I realize it's only 28% that opponent will pair the turn or river but after seeing it multiple times I began to rethink my strategy and began to bet these type of flops with AK type hands often again. What about TWO opponents. I think with two its one of the rare times that Im MORE like to CBet (since there could be 4 live cards potentially and its unlikely anyone hit this flop) What's your take on everything here?
