C-bet sizing

Hey guys,

I've been playing in some soft games with a bunch some fish and mostly bad regs. The regs are mostly Tagish, but occasionally make predictably silly bluffs . My question is should i be using a standard 1/3 or 1/2 c-bet strategy . I don't see them making huge post flop mistakes all the time so i think the 1/3 betting size will allow for defending errors.

Overall i think the skill level of the player pool is similar to 2/5 live or 10nl, and i don't see a lot of players using 1/3 c bet sizings in live games , so should i just stick to the 1/2 size and create bigger pots. The rake is 5 percent capped at 3bb btw

Thanks

I would probably go with a 1/3 pot cbet strategy on many flop textures if they are tight and not so good regs. They will indeed probably make flop defending mistakes and I don't necessarily want to play bigger pots against tight ranges.
Against the weaker players you probably want to take very exploitative sizings and don't really care about balance and things like that.

would you suggest even changing the sizes at just one table? 1/3 vs regs and 1/2 or more vs weaker players

This should be fine as long as you have a good feel for how to play your ranges using different sizings. We do this all the time with bigger 3 bet sizings preflop, bigger turn and river barrels when recs clearly have TP etc. anyways.

the smaller cbets have been originally used to fuck because people were multi tabling and they weren't defending against it correctly. When you are playing live poker, your strategy should really solely depend on villain, hand by hand. Realize that when you are betting 1/3 on a flop if one of the errors they are making is to call to often, generally they are making a pretty small mistake vs your strategy, where as if you bet larger in a lot of spots they continue to make those errors your EV significantly increases.
It depends on the spot, depends on the player, depends on the board lol, can't make general statements, but it should depend on villain, the hand u have, what u want to accomplish blah blah. I don't think standard strategies are going to be nearly as high EV and just thinking about the spots logically and how people are going to react with certain combos and adjust accordingly
