1. how big should a cbet be in relation the pot (generally)?
2. i raise 4x BB with AQ/AK preflop, and i get a caller. i'm late position. flop comes out and is very dry (say... 2 5 9 offsuit) and i miss and opponent bets a bit less than the pot. what do i do and what should i put him on?
thanks for any input

1. You can't go wrong with about 2/3rds-3/4th of the pot as a general guideline
2. It depends some on the opponent, and he could have a lot of hands. If you see someone doing this a lot then you could consider raising him occasionally to pick off what would likely be a bluff

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

Check flop, raise turn is a fun line in position against guys who are aware of flop c-bet games.

while it's fine as far as denying proper pot odds goes, you don't want to bet so small that you start to induce bluffs, and 1/2 pot looks a lot more appetizing to bluffy opponents than 3/4 does. and it doesn't really change against bad players.

Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information.

i think its fine if we play vs these clueless donks cuz they suck at poker. Sometimes, i even threw out little blocking bet with good drawing hand on the turn after my cb got called on flop.

Maybe try a delayed c-bet. Check flop and bet the turn.
When he bets small without a draw he is most likely seeing if you have a pair, cause he has a piece of the flop. You can raise him but you should at least call since you can probably take away the pot on the turn.
