The Art of C-Betting

I bet 3xBB with A-K or A-Q and completely miss the flop. It's checked to me. Should I always c-bet?

basically get reads on ur opponent and c-bet on boards that u think ur opponent is likely to have missed SIMPLE.............well not quite lol it takes ages to learn to put ur opponent on hands.............. when u get good at this, ur c-bets and other plays for that matter will work more efficiently GL
Only joking, depends on texture of the board, if wet it maybe better to peel off another card.....which you will probably miss as well, see how your opponent reacts on the turn. If dry 3/4 to pot size.
Of course this depends on what stage of the tourney (if cash you have got to bet out to see where you are)? can you take a modest hit to your stack and still be competitive? do you need to steal this pot? how many opponents? is/are your opponent(s) calling station? C- betting with nothing on wet boards is troublesome because its hard to tell if your opponent is drawing or has hit already and willing to call down to the river with 2nd pair, or he may have a monster. Position is power.....but it only useful when you have a read and seen how your opponent plays other pots.
Low level blinds I don't fall in love with AK/AQ it is what it is......Ace high!
Obviously a re-raise would almost certainly force you to lay them down, if you get a caller and the turn doesn't help your reads on that opponent and the board texture will determine your next action.
