When to stop the continuation bets?

[pokerrude]

I have a problem in knowing when to stop continuation bets. Say I raise preflop 3x the bb and get a couple callers. I'm on the button and just came to the table.

Flop is all low and I'm holding A10s. Checks around to me and I bet. One person calls within a second or two. Turn comes another low, no flush or straight draw.

Should I continue to bet or should I check assuming it is checked to me? If I do bet here should I bet the river even if it misses me and everyone checks to me?

"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

Yea take some time and play some small hands to know if you got any suckers on the table or if they are true pros. If you got some suckers wait for the homerun punch because suckers will bet " foot loose and fancy free".

If you got pros get off that table in a hurry and let someone else get smoked.
