Seems like most persons are usually talking about pre-flop system, so I would like to talk a bit about how I bet on soon after the flop. Maybe I can support others, or possibly they have advice to enhance my play.
I imagine that 2 of the most essential plays after the flop are the semi-bluff and the defensive bet. Which is because these are the plays you produce if you havent hit a hand except you’ve got a very good drawing hand. Its easy to wager on a hand if you flop a monster. Except I feel that these 2 are the finest methods to wager on a drawing. Each one is bet depending on you competition(s) and your postion. So here’s how I wager on it, so tell me what you think.
Early Location – Tight Competitors:
A semi-bluff works fairly well in this position. Arrive out gambling and if a tight gambler did not hit a hand he will most likely lay down, and if he is unsure you may perhaps have a call. Except watch out, if that tight player comes back more than the best it might be time to have away.
Early Position – Loose Opponents
This is were I like to accomplish a defensive wager. Come to a decision how many chips you are willing to risk on your draw and bet. This is normally a much smaller wager than regular. It’s been my experience that the loose gambler will usually just call a bet rather than re-raise. However, when you check to them, theyre far more likely to throw in more chips than your willing to pay.
Late Location – Tight Competitors
This can be the ideal time to accomplish a semi-bluff, specially if most of the table checks. If that’s the case you will probaly pick up the pot now. If a gambler prior to has bet, you have to determine 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. When you believe he does, effectively then it is time to calculate your odds, and decide if the pot odds are worth the call.
Late Place – Loose Opponents
This one is a bit challenging, because it’s harder to put a loose gambler on a hand. And if your in late placement against loose gambler, odds are they’ve already wager. This really is were I usually determine to take a chance and come back over the best of them and pray they don’t call, and if they do, well then its time to gamble. Chances are although even a loose player will go away in case you are available back strong enough.
Keep in mind though that these are moves I only generate soon after the flop comes and I have a decent drawing hand (usually not a gutshot either). Maybe 4 to the flush or the open ended straight, for example.
