There are different types of poker bets that a player can make. The most famous is the value bet, a bet so if you think the best hand to hold and get the money from the enemy wants. If, for example, top pair top kicker on an uncoordinated board (no straights or flushes possible), it is worth making a value bet. There are exceptions, however, when we should dispense with a value bet, or situations where another bet would fit better. For example, you hold AK on a K88 board. Either the opponent now has an 8 and it goes back very far (about 8%) or he does not have 8 and it is very far forward (83%). This situation is called WAWB, Way Ahead or Way Behind, it is so clear either rear or front clear. This makes a value bet no sense.
While often a value bet about 2/3 of the pot is large, the sample is relatively small bet (1/3- ½ of the pot). As the name implies, it serves as an attempt to get information as cheaply as possible. For example, if you hold a pocket pair and the flop contains a map that is larger than our pair, then we should take a test bet to see if this card has met the enemy, and here we are with our pair in your hand .
If a player is unexpected, often because he was not the aggressor preflop, was one speaks of a donk bet. Bet this does not make sense, because if you hold a good or very good hand preflop aggressor to check should then play a check-raise. Situations where a donk bet can still be useful, there is, for example, if you play against a preflop aggressor, which is rare after the flop (Continuation Bet), but often calls a bet. A donk bet can often be a block bet.
Such a block bet is to try the pot with a small bet as small as possible and prevent the opponent from a major bet. For a block can bet you have no position, because otherwise one could simply check afterwards if the enemy is before you. A block bet makes sense, for example, if we hold a draw and play against an opponent with a check generally interpreted as a weakness and then like to set up. Here you should place a small bet block to be free to determine the price at which you drawt.
Lastly there is the continuation bet (or C-Bet). This is done when one has raised before the flop and thus was the aggressor. You have missed the flop, but has not yet set against a player. Since we have now represents a strong hand before the flop, you should embed the flop anyway. However, one should refrain from making a continuation bet, if the board is very drawlastig and a high chance that our opponent has hit something while we can not even hold a draw. In addition, make continuation bets usually only makes sense if you do not have too many enemies (1-2 opponents).
