Seems like most individuals are always talking about pre-flop system, so I would like to speak a little bit about how I wager on soon after the flop. Maybe I can support others, or maybe they’ve got advice to enhance my play.
I think that 2 of the most significant plays after the flop are the semi-bluff and the defensive wager. Which is because these are the plays you generate when you havent hit a hand but you have a good drawing hand. Its easy to bet on a hand when you flop a monster. But I imagine that these 2 are the best techniques to bet on a drawing. Each one is bet depending on you challenger(s) and your postion. So here’s how I play it, so tell me what you think.
Early Placement – Tight Opponents:
A semi-bluff works fairly properly in this position. Appear out wagering and if a tight player didn’t hit a hand he will most likely lay down, and if he is unsure you may possibly obtain a call. Except watch out, if that tight player comes back more than the best it may perhaps be time to obtain away.
Early Place – Loose Competitors
It is had been I like to try and do a defensive wager. Make a decision how a lot of chips you’re willing to risk on your draw and bet. It is usually a much lower bet than regular. It’s been my understanding that the loose gambler will usually just call a wager rather than re-raise. Nonetheless, if you check to them, theyre far more likely to throw in additional chips than your willing to pay.
Late Position – Tight Opponents
This is the greatest time to accomplish 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’ve to make a decision 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. If you consider he does, nicely then it’s time to calculate your odds, and determine if the pot odds are worth the call.
Late Place – Loose Competitors
This one is a bit tricky, because it’s more difficult to put a loose gambler on a hand. And if your in late position against loose gambler, odds are they have already wager. It is were I usually choose to take a chance and appear back more than the top of them and pray they don’t call, and if they do, well then its time to wager. Chances are although even a loose player will go away should you are available back strong enough.
Remember though that these are moves I only produce 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.
