Seems like most men and women are constantly talking about pre-flop method, so I wanted to talk a little bit about how I bet on after the flop. Maybe I can aid others, or possibly they’ve got advice to improve my play.

I imagine that 2 of the most critical plays 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 have a good drawing hand. Its easy to bet on a hand whenever you flop a monster. Except I imagine that these two are the best methods to bet on a drawing. Each one is played depending on you competition(s) and your postion. So here is how I wager on it, so tell me what you think.

Early Position – Tight Opponents:

A semi-bluff works fairly well in this position. Appear out wagering 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 gambler comes back more than the top it may well be time to acquire away.

Early Place – Loose Competitors

This can be were I like to complete a defensive wager. Determine how several chips you are willing to chance on your draw and wager. That is usually a much lower wager than normal. It’s been my encounter that the loose player will usually just call a bet rather than re-raise. On the other hand, if you check to them, theyre a lot more likely to throw in more chips than your willing to pay.

Late Placement – Tight Opponents

It is the greatest time to perform a semi-bluff, specially if most of the table checks. If that is the case you will probaly pick up the pot now. If a gambler prior to has bet, you could have to determine if he has a hand or not. If not, then reraise and he will probably go away since he was trying to steal the pot. In the event you consider he does, nicely then it is time to determine your odds, and come to a decision if the pot odds are worth the call.

Late Position – Loose Competitors

This one is a bit complicated, because it’s tougher to put a loose player on a hand. And if your in late location against loose player, chances are they’ve already bet. This really is were I usually decide to take a chance and arrive back over the top of them and pray they do not call, and if they do, nicely then its time to wager. Chances are though even a loose player will go away if you are available back strong enough.

Remember though that these are moves I only generate following the flop comes and I have a decent drawing hand (usually not a gutshot either). Perhaps four to the flush or the open ended straight, for instance.
