1) Bet for value, with hands you should bet for value with
2) Bet as a bluff, with hands that are bluffs
3) If you are neither value betting or bluffing, maybe you shouldnt bet

What about betting just to pick up dead money in the pot on favorable boards, regardless of of our cards?

I get what you're saying about c-betting 9x on K94r. There's not much we beat when we're called, except for worse nines and random floats. It's definitely a thin value spot but we do have some fold equity by continuing our aggression on the flop.

Also update: Im 5 buyins from a $200 shot take at 10nl.

So 10nl tomorrow then?

Good stuff, keep it comin.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but surely if you did this 100,000 times, the likelihood of Villain having something that beats you would be more than 50% Thus, is this a long term +EV play? Probably not.

It's dependent on our position and post-flop tendencies of villain, so we're not c-betting this board in every situation. If villain plays fit or fold poker, why check behind and give him a free turn card to hit one of his over cards?

Thats the thing though isnt it?

We already know that just blindly firing with these medium strength hands is profitable. The problem is how can we figure out if checking is better

For instance...

What about a free turn card to let him hit one of his undercards, or start willfully putting money in with a missed hand because "lol he checked"? .
