Seems like most individuals are always talking about pre-flop strategy, so I would like to speak a bit about how I bet on right after the flop. Maybe I can aid others, or maybe they have advice to enhance my play.
I think that two of the most significant plays soon after the flop are the semi-bluff and the defensive bet. Which is because these are the plays you make if you havent hit a hand but you have a fine drawing hand. Its easy to play a hand whenever you flop a monster. Except I believe that these two are the greatest ways to play a drawing. Each one is wagered 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 nicely in this position. Appear out gambling and if a tight gambler did not hit a hand he will probably lay down, and if he is unsure you may perhaps receive a call. But watch out, if that tight player comes back more than the top it may perhaps be time to acquire away.
Early Location – Loose Opponents
This can be had been I like to accomplish a defensive wager. Decide how several chips you are willing to chance on your draw and bet. It is normally a much lower bet than regular. It’s been my experience that the loose gambler will usually just call a wager instead of re-raise. Nevertheless, if you check to them, theyre more likely to throw in more chips than your willing to pay.
Late Location – Tight Competitors
That is the finest time to try and do a semi-bluff, particularly 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 wager, you’ve to make a decision if he has a hand or not. If not, then reraise and he will possibly go away since he was trying to steal the pot. Should you believe he does, well then it’s time to compute your odds, and determine if the pot odds are worth the call.
Late Place – Loose Competitors
This one is a bit tricky, because it is more difficult to put a loose gambler on a hand. And if your in late placement against loose gambler, odds are they’ve already wager. This is were I usually make 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 gamble. Chances are though even a loose gambler will go away should you arrive back strong enough.
Keep in mind though that these are moves I only generate 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.
