Seems like most individuals are generally talking about pre-flop technique, so I wanted to talk a tiny bit about how I play right after the flop. Possibly I can support others, or perhaps they have advice to enhance my play.
I imagine that 2 of the most important plays following the flop are the semi-bluff and the defensive wager. Which is because these are the plays you produce whenever you havent hit a hand but you might have a very good drawing hand. Its easy to wager on a hand if you flop a monster. But I think that these two are the greatest techniques 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 properly in this position. Come out wagering and if a tight gambler did not hit a hand he’ll most likely lay down, and if he’s unsure you might get a call. Except watch out, if that tight player comes back more than the top it might be time to acquire away.
Early Placement – Loose Opponents
This can be had been I like to perform a defensive bet. Decide how many chips you’re willing to risk on your draw and bet. This is normally a much lower wager than normal. It’s been my encounter that the loose gambler will usually just call a bet rather than re-raise. Even so, if you check to them, theyre more likely to throw in far more chips than your willing to pay.
Late Location – Tight Opponents
This is the finest time to complete a semi-bluff, especially if most of the table checks. If that’s the case you’ll probaly pick up the pot now. If a player prior to has bet, you have to determine if he has a hand or not. If not, then reraise and he’ll possibly go away since he was attempting to steal the pot. When you think he does, well then it is time to determine your odds, and decide if the pot odds are worth the call.
Late Placement – Loose Competitors
This one is often a bit complicated, because it is tougher to put a loose gambler on a hand. And if your in late position against loose gambler, chances are they’ve already bet. This is were I usually decide to take a chance and appear back over the best of them and hope they don’t call, and if they do, nicely then its time to gamble. Chances are although even a loose player will go away should 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 reasonable drawing hand (usually not a gutshot either). Perhaps four to the flush or the open ended straight, for example.
