Seems like most men and women are often talking about pre-flop method, so I would like to talk a bit about how I bet on following the flop. Perhaps I can assist others, or possibly they’ve got advice to enhance my play.
I believe that 2 of the most significant plays right after the flop are the semi-bluff and the defensive bet. That is because these are the plays you make when you havent hit a hand except you might have a good drawing hand. Its easy to play a hand when you flop a monster. But I feel that these two are the ideal ways to play a drawing. Each one is bet depending on you challenger(s) and your postion. So here is how I bet on it, so tell me what you think.
Early Position – Tight Competitors:
A semi-bluff works fairly well in this position. Appear out betting and if a tight player did not hit a hand he will probably lay down, and if he’s unsure you might get a call. But watch out, if that tight gambler comes back more than the best it may be time to have away.
Early Place – Loose Competitors
This can be were I like to perform a defensive bet. Decide how a lot of chips you are willing to risk on your draw and wager. It is usually a much lower wager than normal. It’s been my understanding that the loose player will usually just call a wager rather than re-raise. On the other hand, if you check to them, theyre far more likely to throw in additional chips than your willing to pay.
Late Position – Tight Competitors
This really is the best time to do a semi-bluff, specifically if most of the table checks. If that’s the case you will probaly pick up the pot now. If a gambler before has bet, you’ve to come to a decision if he has a hand or not. If not, then reraise and he’ll probably go away since he was trying to steal the pot. In case you believe he does, effectively then it is time to determine your odds, and make a decision if the pot odds are worth the call.
Late Location – Loose Opponents
This one is a bit complicated, simply because it’s more difficult to put a loose player on a hand. And if your in late placement against loose gambler, odds are they’ve already wager. This really is had been I usually decide to take a chance and are available back more than the top of them and hope they don’t call, and if they do, well then its time to wager. Chances are though even a loose gambler will go away in the event you appear back strong enough.
Keep in mind though that these are moves I only generate immediately 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 instance.
