Seems like most persons are constantly talking about pre-flop method, so I wanted to speak a little bit about how I wager on after the flop. Perhaps I can aid others, or maybe they’ve got advice to improve my play.

I consider that two of the most important plays following the flop are the semi-bluff and the defensive wager. Which is because these are the plays you make whenever you havent hit a hand except you have a good drawing hand. Its easy to bet on a hand if you flop a monster. But I imagine that these two are the ideal techniques to bet on a drawing. Each one is wagered depending on you challenger(s) and your postion. So here is how I bet on it, so tell me what you think.

Early Place – Tight Opponents:

A semi-bluff works fairly properly in this position. Come out betting and if a tight gambler did not hit a hand he will most likely lay down, and if he’s unsure you may possibly obtain a call. But watch out, if that tight player comes back over the best it may perhaps be time to acquire away.

Early Placement – Loose Opponents

This really is were I like to do a defensive wager. Come to a decision how quite a few chips you’re willing to risk on your draw and bet. This really is normally a much smaller wager than normal. It has been my encounter that the loose gambler will usually just call a wager instead of re-raise. However, in the event you check to them, theyre additional likely to throw in additional chips than your willing to pay.

Late Placement – Tight Competitors

It is the finest time to do a semi-bluff, specially 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 could have 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. Should you imagine he does, well then it’s time to calculate your odds, and choose if the pot odds are worth the call.

Late Position – Loose Competitors

This one is really a bit challenging, because it is harder to put a loose player on a hand. And if your in late position against loose player, chances are they’ve already wager. This really is were I usually decide to take a chance and come back over the best of them and pray they do not call, and if they do, effectively then its time to wager. Chances are although even a loose gambler will go away when you come back strong enough.

Remember though that these are moves I only produce immediately after the flop comes and I have a respectable drawing hand (usually not a gutshot either). Possibly four to the flush or the open ended straight, for instance.
