You are doing this all wrong!! You're leaving money on the table by missing c-bets in poker. This week we're joined by Spraggy for an MTT coaching session covering missed c-bets; when the big blind defends and we have the opportunity as the preflop aggressor to c-bet the flop but don't! These add up quickly and hence; cost you $. Make sure you have the strategy down.
