Hold’em Skills: Learning the Game The Finals: Heads-Up in No Limit Tournament Texas Hold’em Poker
Aug 132012

Seems like most men and women are constantly talking about pre-flop system, so I wanted to talk a tiny bit about how I play right after the flop. Perhaps I can help others, or maybe they have advice to enhance my play.

I imagine that 2 of the most critical plays immediately after the flop are the semi-bluff and the defensive wager. That is because these are the plays you produce whenever you havent hit a hand except you could have a fine drawing hand. Its easy to play a hand when you flop a monster. But I feel that these 2 are the best ways to bet on a drawing. Each one is wagered depending on you competition(s) and your postion. So here’s how I play it, so tell me what you think.

Early Location – Tight Opponents:

A semi-bluff works fairly properly in this position. Are available out betting and if a tight gambler didn’t hit a hand he will probably lay down, and if he is unsure you may obtain a call. But watch out, if that tight gambler comes back more than the top it may be time to acquire away.

Early Place – Loose Opponents

This can be 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 bet. This is usually a much lower wager than regular. It has been my understanding that the loose player will usually just call a bet rather than re-raise. Even so, if you check to them, theyre much more likely to throw in a lot more chips than your willing to pay.

Late Place – Tight Competitors

This can be the very best time to complete a semi-bluff, especially if most of the table checks. If that is the case you will probaly pick up the pot now. If a gambler before has bet, you might have to choose if he has a hand or not. If not, then reraise and he’ll possibly go away since he was trying to steal the pot. Should you feel he does, well then it is time to determine your odds, and make a decision if the pot odds are worth the call.

Late Position – Loose Opponents

This one can be a bit challenging, because it is harder to put a loose gambler on a hand. And if your in late place against loose player, chances are they’ve already wager. This can be were I usually decide to take a chance and arrive back more than the best of them and hope they don’t call, and if they do, properly then its time to wager. Chances are though even a loose gambler will go away when you are available back strong enough.

Keep in mind although that these are moves I only generate right 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 example.
