Cbetting 1/2 pot or 1/3 pot or 1/10th pot isnt inherently 'weak'; it isn't anything. it's just a bet. if your opponents play too loosely and aggressively against a certain betsize, or too tight or passively against a different betsize, then by all means exploit them. if they are raising small cbets light, then when they raise, shove your marginal hands with decent equity and slowplay monsters. if they are floating them light, bet 1/3 pot on flop and 5/3 pot on turn. fuck them, they suck, take their money. the more of a theory/skill edge you have on your opponents, the more maneuverability you want to have on all streets in a poker hand. if you are just blasting away at every pot when their range has a big equity edge against your hand or hand range, you are going get into terrible spots on the turn, and you are going to get killed even by pretty bad players. In 3bet/4bet pots in 100ish bb poker,any lines that will allow you to threaten an all in by the river without making a ridiculous overbet are viable.
This advice alone has me inspired by your skill in poker. Wow, I will take your words as gems. I am glad there are players like you on this forum. I have to thank you for your dedication here and to all the regulars here as well.
