Seems like most folks are constantly talking about pre-flop method, so I wanted to talk a tiny bit about how I bet on immediately after the flop. Maybe I can assist others, or perhaps they have advice to improve my play.
I think that two of the most important plays right after the flop are the semi-bluff and the defensive bet. That’s because these are the plays you generate when you havent hit a hand except you have a excellent drawing hand. Its easy to bet on a hand whenever you flop a monster. But I imagine that these two are the best approaches to bet on a drawing. Each one is played 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 Opponents:
A semi-bluff works fairly effectively in this position. Come out gambling and if a tight gambler did not hit a hand he will probably lay down, and if he is unsure you might have a call. But watch out, if that tight player comes back more than the top it may perhaps be time to have away.
Early Position – Loose Competitors
This really is were I like to perform a defensive bet. Choose how quite a few chips you are willing to risk on your draw and wager. It is usually a much smaller bet than regular. It has been my understanding that the loose gambler will usually just call a bet instead of re-raise. Nonetheless, in case you check to them, theyre far more likely to throw in far more chips than your willing to pay.
Late Position – Tight Opponents
It is the best time to do a semi-bluff, specifically if most of the table checks. If that’s the case you’ll probaly pick up the pot now. If a gambler prior to has wager, you might have to choose if he has a hand or not. If not, then reraise and he’ll most likely go away since he was attempting to steal the pot. When you believe he does, nicely then it is time to calculate your odds, and come to a decision if the pot odds are worth the call.
Late Place – Loose Competitors
This one is really a bit difficult, because it is more difficult to put a loose gambler on a hand. And if your in late position against loose gambler, chances are they have already wager. It is were I usually determine to take a chance and appear back more than the best 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 are available back strong enough.
Remember though that these are moves I only produce 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.
