Seems like most people are generally talking about pre-flop method, so I wanted to speak a bit about how I bet on after the flop. Perhaps I can assist others, or possibly they’ve got advice to enhance my play.
I feel that 2 of the most crucial plays right after the flop are the semi-bluff and the defensive bet. Which is because these are the plays you generate whenever you havent hit a hand but you’ve got a very good drawing hand. Its easy to wager on a hand whenever you flop a monster. Except I feel that these 2 are the very best ways to bet on a drawing. Each one is wagered depending on you challenger(s) and your postion. So here is how I bet on it, so tell me what you think.
Early Place – Tight Opponents:
A semi-bluff works fairly nicely in this position. Appear out betting and if a tight player did not hit a hand he will most likely lay down, and if he is unsure you might receive a call. Except watch out, if that tight player comes back over the top it might be time to have away.
Early Placement – Loose Opponents
This really is had been I like to accomplish a defensive wager. Make a decision how quite a few chips you are willing to chance on your draw and wager. That is usually a much lower wager than normal. It has been my understanding that the loose gambler will usually just call a wager instead of re-raise. On the other hand, should you check to them, theyre far more likely to throw in more chips than your willing to pay.
Late Place – Tight Opponents
This is the ideal time to accomplish a semi-bluff, particularly if most of the table checks. If that’s the case you will probaly pick up the pot now. If a player prior to has wager, you could have to come to a decision if he has a hand or not. If not, then reraise and he’ll most likely go away since he was trying to steal the pot. When you feel he does, nicely then it is time to compute your odds, and choose if the pot odds are worth the call.
Late Place – Loose Opponents
This one can be a bit challenging, because it is tougher to put a loose gambler on a hand. And if your in late place against loose player, odds are they’ve already wager. This can be had been I usually come to a decision to take a chance and arrive back over the top of them and hope they don’t call, and if they do, well then its time to gamble. Odds are although even a loose gambler will go away in the event you are available back strong enough.
Bear in mind although that these are moves I only generate following the flop comes and I have a decent drawing hand (usually not a gutshot either). Possibly four to the flush or the open ended straight, for example.
