In depth
A continuation bet (c-bet) is a bet made on the flop by the player who led the betting before the flop. It maintains the preflop aggressor’s initiative, allowing them to extend their control into postflop play rather than relinquishing the lead. This move bridges preflop aggression with subsequent action, distinguishing it from checking.
