Seems like most persons are usually talking about pre-flop method, so I wanted to speak a tiny bit about how I bet on after the flop. Perhaps I can aid others, or possibly they’ve got advice to improve my play.
I consider that two of the most important plays right after the flop are the semi-bluff and the defensive wager. That is because these are the plays you generate once you havent hit a hand but you have a very good drawing hand. Its easy to play a hand when you flop a monster. Except I believe that these 2 are the best techniques to bet on a drawing. Each one is wagered depending on you opponent(s) and your postion. So here is how I bet on it, so tell me what you think.
Early Position – Tight Opponents:
A semi-bluff works fairly properly in this position. Are available out wagering and if a tight player did not hit a hand he’ll most likely lay down, and if he’s unsure you may well obtain a call. But watch out, if that tight player comes back over the top it might be time to have away.
Early Position – Loose Competitors
That is were I like to perform a defensive wager. Decide how quite a few chips you are willing to risk on your draw and wager. This is normally a much lower wager than regular. It’s been my encounter that the loose player will usually just call a wager rather than re-raise. Nevertheless, if you check to them, theyre additional likely to throw in additional chips than your willing to pay.
Late Placement – Tight Competitors
This is the best time to complete a semi-bluff, especially if most of the table checks. If that is the case you’ll probaly pick up the pot now. If a player before has bet, you might have to make a decision if he has a hand or not. If not, then reraise and he’ll possibly go away since he was attempting to steal the pot. In case you believe he does, well then it’s time to determine your odds, and come to a decision if the pot odds are worth the call.
Late Place – Loose Competitors
This one is often a bit challenging, because it is harder to put a loose player on a hand. And if your in late place against loose gambler, odds are they’ve already wager. This really is were I usually come to a decision to take a chance and appear back more than the top of them and hope they don’t call, and if they do, properly then its time to wager. Chances are although even a loose gambler will go away if you appear back strong enough.
Don’t forget though that these are moves I only produce following the flop comes and I have a respectable drawing hand (usually not a gutshot either). Possibly four to the flush or the open ended straight, for instance.
