Seems like most people are always talking about pre-flop technique, so I would like to talk a bit about how I bet on following the flop. Possibly I can aid others, or maybe they’ve got advice to improve my play.
I imagine that two of the most crucial plays after the flop are the semi-bluff and the defensive bet. That is because these are the plays you generate once you havent hit a hand but you might have a good drawing hand. Its easy to play a hand if you flop a monster. Except I imagine that these 2 are the very best methods to play a drawing. Each one is played depending on you opponent(s) and your postion. So here’s how I bet on it, so tell me what you think.
Early Location – Tight Opponents:
A semi-bluff works fairly well in this position. Come out wagering and if a tight gambler didn’t hit a hand he will probably lay down, and if he’s unsure you may perhaps have a call. But watch out, if that tight player comes back more than the best it may well be time to get away.
Early Position – Loose Opponents
This really is were I like to complete a defensive bet. Make a decision how numerous chips you are willing to risk on your draw and wager. This is normally a much lower bet than regular. It’s been my understanding that the loose player will usually just call a bet rather than re-raise. However, when you check to them, theyre much more likely to throw in more chips than your willing to pay.
Late Placement – Tight Opponents
This really is the best time to do a semi-bluff, especially if most of the table checks. If that is the case you will probaly pick up the pot now. If a player before has wager, you have to decide if he has a hand or not. If not, then reraise and he will probably go away since he was attempting to steal the pot. Should you believe he does, nicely then it’s time to compute your odds, and make a decision if the pot odds are worth the call.
Late Placement – Loose Competitors
This one can be a bit difficult, because it’s tougher to put a loose player on a hand. And if your in late place against loose player, chances are they’ve already wager. It is were I usually determine to take a chance and arrive back more than the best of them and pray they don’t call, and if they do, properly then its time to gamble. Chances are although even a loose player will go away in the event you arrive back strong enough.
Keep in mind although that these are moves I only produce right after the flop comes and I have a decent drawing hand (usually not a gutshot either). Perhaps 4 to the flush or the open ended straight, for instance.
