Seems like most men and women are generally talking about pre-flop system, so I would like to speak a tiny bit about how I play after the flop. Maybe I can support others, or possibly they’ve got advice to improve my play.
I believe that 2 of the most significant plays following the flop are the semi-bluff and the defensive wager. That’s because these are the plays you make once you havent hit a hand but you’ve got a fine drawing hand. Its easy to play a hand once you flop a monster. But I feel that these 2 are the best approaches 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 Place – Tight Opponents:
A semi-bluff works fairly nicely in this position. Are available out betting and if a tight gambler did not hit a hand he’ll most likely lay down, and if he is unsure you may possibly get a call. But watch out, if that tight player comes back over the best it may be time to have away.
Early Place – Loose Opponents
This really is were I like to try and do a defensive bet. Choose how many chips you are willing to risk on your draw and bet. It is usually a much lower bet than regular. It has been my encounter that the loose gambler will usually just call a wager instead of re-raise. On the other hand, when you check to them, theyre a lot more likely to throw in more chips than your willing to pay.
Late Place – Tight Competitors
That is the best time to perform 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 player before has bet, you might have to determine if he has a hand or not. If not, then reraise and he will probably go away since he was trying to steal the pot. When you imagine he does, properly then it’s time to calculate your odds, and decide if the pot odds are worth the call.
Late Position – Loose Opponents
This one is a bit challenging, simply because it’s tougher to put a loose player on a hand. And if your in late location against loose gambler, odds are they’ve already wager. It is were I usually come to a decision to take a chance and arrive back more than the top of them and pray they don’t call, and if they do, nicely then its time to wager. Odds are though even a loose player will go away in case you come back strong enough.
Remember although that these are moves I only make immediately after the flop comes and I have a reasonable drawing hand (usually not a gutshot either). Maybe 4 to the flush or the open ended straight, for example.
