Full explanation
A continuation bet is a bet on the flop by the player who took the lead preflop.
Explanation. The name describes continuing the initiative: after opening the pot preflop, you “continue” aggression by betting the flop regardless of whether it improved your hand. C‑bets are used to represent strength and often succeed on dry flops. Proper use involves reading board texture and opponent tendencies to maintain balanced batting strategy.
