There are only 3 main reasons for betting. And while you are not playing against world class opponents you need to use one of those to find out if you should bet.
They are:
- betting for value
- bluffing
- betting to pick up pot equity
When you bet for value you want opponents with weaker holdings to call you.
When you are bluffing you want opponents to fold hands better then your.
Sometimes you have weak made hand and you don’t mind your opponents folding worse hands because those hands have a lot of equity versus your hand. So you want them to fold and give up their equity.
Remember, if you bet and you don’t exactly know which one of those reasons you used, you made a mistake.
