"I'm on the button and just came to the table."
Slow down, check and fold to any bet. You just got here, you don't know if the table is loose, passive or tight, you don't know if there are calling stations or maniacs at the table yet.
Continuation bets are similar to bluffs, know your opponents and have an idea what they'll do before you bluff or continuation bet. This might not even be table you want to play at, you don't know you just got there.
Study your opponents, look for the right situations to play at their weakness.
Depends is the generic answer for most poker scenario questions, your not just playing cards your playing people. For the continuation bet to work it has to happen under the right circumstances and then sometimes they still don't work.
Getting the correct reads on your opponents will make the continuation pay off more than not. IMHO |
