When and how often do you continuation bet?

Tiny bit vague
I just wanted to hear out examples of when people cbet, when they did cbet in the past.
I cbetted once and got raised. I never cbetted again.
This. Cbettering sucks
I think you need to work on understanding hand ranges and how they connect to various board textures. There is no simple answer to that question.
Some things to consider: your hand strength right now vs your possible hand strength by the river (made hands vs draws); your opponents likely hand strength right now vs their possible hand strength by the river; the preflorp action (did someone call your open, or did they open limp and just call your raise, or did someone 3-bet, etc); how many opponents saw the flop; how tight or loose are your opponents; do you have position; what limit are you playing...etc.
Different strategies for c-betting: you can only c-bet when you have a strong hand, but you probably won't get a lot of action; you can add in strong draws to c-bet (oesd/flush draws), which will widen your c-betting range; you can add in weaker draws (backdoor), which will widen your c-bet range; you can c-bet boards that are good for your range and bad for our opponents range, regardless of what two cards you hold in your hand...etc.
Thanks tr33f1ddy! Something I'm definitely gonna study more on.
