Seems like most individuals are often talking about pre-flop method, so I would like to talk a bit about how I wager on after the flop. Possibly I can assist others, or perhaps they have advice to improve my play.

I consider that 2 of the most critical plays right after the flop are the semi-bluff and the defensive bet. That is because these are the plays you produce once you havent hit a hand except you’ve a excellent drawing hand. Its easy to wager on a hand whenever you flop a monster. Except I imagine that these two are the greatest methods to wager on a drawing. Each one is bet depending on you opponent(s) and your postion. So here’s how I wager on it, so tell me what you think.

Early Position – Tight Opponents:

A semi-bluff works fairly well in this position. Are available out wagering and if a tight player didn’t hit a hand he’ll most likely lay down, and if he is unsure you might acquire a call. But watch out, if that tight player comes back more than the top it may well be time to acquire away.

Early Placement – Loose Opponents

This is had been I like to accomplish a defensive wager. Come to a decision how a lot of chips you might be willing to risk on your draw and wager. That is normally a much smaller bet than normal. It’s been my encounter that the loose gambler will usually just call a bet instead of re-raise. Nonetheless, in the event you check to them, theyre additional likely to throw in more chips than your willing to pay.

Late Placement – Tight Opponents

This is the best time to do a semi-bluff, particularly if most of the table checks. If that is the case you will probaly pick up the pot now. If a player before has bet, you’ve got to determine if he has a hand or not. If not, then reraise and he will most likely go away since he was trying to steal the pot. In case you think he does, well then it is time to compute your odds, and decide if the pot odds are worth the call.

Late Placement – Loose Competitors

This one can be a bit complicated, because it’s more difficult to put a loose gambler on a hand. And if your in late place against loose gambler, odds are they have already bet. It is had been I usually come to a decision to take a chance and are available back more than the top of them and hope they don’t call, and if they do, properly then its time to gamble. Odds are though even a loose gambler will go away when you are available back strong enough.

Keep in mind 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 instance.
