I'm curious what your guys continuation bet percentage is in 6 max sngs anywhere from the 30/60-40/80 level? I think mine may be a little nitty, and was wondering what everyone else is doing? These are $22's btw

I play mostly 9 handed sngs. Just the $2.40's, but before I bought my car, I played as high as $22's.I wouldn't worry so much about percentage. What you want to focus on is being in position, flop texture, and your read of your opponent. Also, keep in mind what you believe your table image to be. Let's assume you're in position, first to act, with a hand like AKo. With blinds 40/80 and a stack of 1800, you open on the button for 200. The SB folds and the BB, who has about 1700 in chips calls. Your read on the big blind is that of a tightish player, so their range is likely JQs+, 66-TT. Hands like AK, AA, KK, QQ and JJ seem a little less likely, since they would more than likely reraise, but you can't discount them completely.If the flop comes 28T rainbow and the BB checks, you should be betting here 100 per cent of the time. It's extremely unlikely they'll have hit anything here.If the flop comes 8JQ of diamonds and you're holding hearts, to me, it doesn't make sense to c-bet here often, if at all , since it's now more likely that your opponent will have a draw or a made hand and may not be willing to go away quietly. If they don't, they'll likely be willing to check it down too and your ace high might be good.So now you might have some idea of what a good flop is for c-betting and what a bad flop is, what do you do when the flop is just okay? Like Qc8c2h. Now it's more about your read of your opponent and your table image. Would they check a Q or a draw here? Did they check quickly, after a long pause or after a 4 second pause. Sometimes the speed of a check can help you narrow the range of hands you're up against. Is your image solid, or did you just get caught bluffing.If in doubt, in sngs, it's sometimes best to take the safe route and check behind and try to play a small pot while the blinds are small. Just make sure to check behind with strong hands too occasionally.Finally, try to keep track of opponents who fold to c-bets often and those that don't and play accordingly. There's no formula ( I c-bet 80 percent of the time, which is 100 per cent optimal). Just make the best decisions with the information you have.
