That's fine sometimes, but if all you do is bet, get called and give it up players will spot that and call the flop just to see what you do on the turn.

Playing touneys or ring - what stakes?
Not that big of a continuation bet. Usually the size of the PF raise. I tried the 3/4 pot bet this weekend and got mixed results. The good- alot more people folded and I won a couple pots that way. The bad- it hurts the stack twice as bad when your callers have you beat. Regardless, I think it's a good strategy at the right table. Thanks for the advice.

Maybe you are right about giving it up too easy. A couple of regulars I play against said that I have a tendency to 'play it safe'. I try to use this preception to my advantage, but I wonder how many pots I have surrendered when I had the best hand?

I mostly play live home tourneys. $20 entry w/ limited $20 rebuys is a typical game.
