You feel differently?
Yeah completely agree to cbet them in most cases just the ones you put in your example have like flush and straight draws in there as well. You really want boards like A72r. No straight draws, no flush draws and opponent rarely has an Ace in his calling preflop range because most of them he'll 3bet. So if you bet and he raises (and isn't out of line) he most likely has a huge hand (set or someone who doesn't 3bet AK which is rare). A lot of people call with like mid SCs so the mid/high cards like up to 7 to Q kind of hit their range hard. So any like 9JQ two toned board sucks if we have like 22 because he most likely hit or is on a decent draw. We bet either knowing he can fold like mid/3rd pair or pair+a draw and stuff as well as lower pocket pairs. But a lot of people will call with like second pair + gutter/OESD and also flush draws of course. I don't know where this is going but I hope you can kind of see what I am saying. You have to think about their preflop calling range and then what kind of boards will they continue with often/rarely.

zxqv8 - yeah for sure because his range won't be wide enough but it's still all player/board dependent seeing if there are any other lines that may be even more profitable. As you move up stakes (I forgot what theorem it's called) but you'll see a lot of players outlevelling you and raising a cbet on a paired board knowing that you prob. don't have trips and even an overpair will get a little scared and could fold.
