Seems like most individuals are often talking about pre-flop system, so I would like to talk a little bit about how I play following the flop. Possibly I can aid others, or maybe they have advice to improve my play.
I imagine that 2 of the most significant plays soon after the flop are the semi-bluff and the defensive bet. That’s because these are the plays you make once you havent hit a hand but you could have a good drawing hand. Its easy to wager on a hand once you flop a monster. Except I think that these two are the finest approaches to bet on a drawing. Each one is wagered depending on you challenger(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 effectively in this position. Appear out wagering and if a tight player didn’t hit a hand he’ll probably lay down, and if he is unsure you may obtain a call. Except watch out, if that tight player comes back more than the best it may be time to obtain away.
Early Placement – Loose Competitors
It is had been I like to complete a defensive wager. Decide how many chips you’re willing to chance on your draw and bet. This is normally a much lower bet than regular. It has been my understanding that the loose gambler will usually just call a wager instead of re-raise. Even so, in the event you check to them, theyre far more likely to throw in additional chips than your willing to pay.
Late Placement – Tight Opponents
It is the ideal time to accomplish a semi-bluff, particularly if most of the table checks. If that is the case you’ll probaly pick up the pot now. If a player before has bet, you might have to decide if he has a hand or not. If not, then reraise and he will most likely go away since he was attempting to steal the pot. Should you feel he does, well then it is time to calculate your odds, and determine if the pot odds are worth the call.
Late Position – Loose Opponents
This one is really a bit tricky, because it is harder to put a loose gambler on a hand. And if your in late placement against loose gambler, odds are they’ve already bet. This really is were I usually make a decision to take a chance and appear back over the top of them and pray they don’t call, and if they do, nicely then its time to wager. Chances are though even a loose player will go away if you appear back strong enough.
Keep in mind though that these are moves I only produce immediately after the flop comes and I have a reasonable drawing hand (usually not a gutshot either). Possibly 4 to the flush or the open ended straight, for example.
