Seems like most individuals are generally talking about pre-flop strategy, so I wanted to talk a little bit about how I bet on following the flop. Maybe I can support others, or perhaps they've got advice to improve my play.

I think that two of the most crucial plays right after the flop are the semi-bluff and the defensive wager. Which is because these are the plays you generate if you havent hit a hand except you've a great drawing hand. Its easy to play a hand whenever you flop a monster. Except I consider that these 2 are the finest approaches to wager on a drawing. Each one is wagered depending on you opponent(s) and your postion. So here's how I play it, so tell me what you think.

Early Place - Tight Competitors:

A semi-bluff works fairly effectively in this position. Arrive out gambling and if a tight player didn't hit a hand he will probably lay down, and if he is unsure you may perhaps obtain a call. But watch out, if that tight player comes back more than the top it may well be time to get away.

Early Position - Loose Opponents

That is had been I like to perform a defensive bet. Make a decision how a lot of chips you are willing to chance on your draw and wager. It is normally a much smaller wager than regular. It's been my encounter that the loose gambler will usually just call a wager rather than re-raise. Even so, when you check to them, theyre additional likely to throw in much more chips than your willing to pay.

Late Location - Tight Competitors

That is the greatest time to try and do a semi-bluff, specifically if most of the table checks. If that is the case you'll probaly pick up the pot now. If a gambler before has bet, you could have to decide if he has a hand or not. If not, then reraise and he will possibly go away since he was attempting to steal the pot. When you believe he does, effectively then it's time to determine your odds, and choose if the pot odds are worth the call.

Late Position - Loose Opponents

This one can be a bit challenging, simply because it is tougher to put a loose gambler on a hand. And if your in late position against loose player, chances are they've already wager. This is were I usually decide to take a chance and appear back more than the best of them and pray they don't call, and if they do, properly then its time to wager. Chances are although even a loose player will go away should you come back strong enough.

Bear in mind although that these are moves I only generate after the flop comes and I have a decent drawing hand (usually not a gutshot either). Possibly 4 to the flush or the open ended straight, for instance.
