I also c-bet for another reason. I c-bet because I am trying to get value. Ideally, I prefer no one folds and people remain in the hand. I get yelled at by so many of my railers that I am not going to force anyone to fold with a c-bet. My intent is not to get anyone to fold. I am raising the value of the pot, making my opponent pay to see each card.
after 5 years as a member how can your terminology be so wrong ? opponent is going to bet or check not raise. this then leads into confusion for any reader . Are you raising if he bets or are you betting if he checks. You aren't cbetting if opponent was the pre flop raiser. You make no reference at all to flop texture and how flop texture interacts with your and his range.
If you are betting with the intention of getting opponent to fold ....how is that betting for value ? betting a checked flop with the intention to get a fold but preferring that no one folds shows that you don't know what you are trying to accomplish.
