Continuation bet or check and hope to hit?

Posted Thu Oct 09, 2008 3:51 pm GMT by jimmer
I have no info on the other player. 90% of the time, with the texture of this flop I would cont bet, but I'm wondering whether it's worth sitting tight and trying to improve.

I'm edging towards making a cont bet, simply because the villan may have nothing and if I don't hit I'm risking him betting first on the turn. Also if I do hit, I'm not sure if the money I make justifies the risk in the first place.
