Seems like most persons are usually talking about pre-flop strategy, so I would like to speak a tiny bit about how I play right after the flop. Possibly I can support others, or maybe they’ve got advice to enhance my play.

I believe that 2 of the most significant plays after the flop are the semi-bluff and the defensive wager. That is because these are the plays you make when you havent hit a hand but you might have a very good drawing hand. Its easy to play a hand if you flop a monster. Except I feel that these two are the very best 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 Place – Tight Competitors:

A semi-bluff works fairly effectively in this position. Are available out wagering and if a tight gambler didn’t hit a hand he’ll most likely lay down, and if he is unsure you may acquire a call. Except watch out, if that tight gambler comes back more than the top it might be time to get away.

Early Placement – Loose Opponents

This is were I like to accomplish a defensive wager. Decide how many chips you are willing to chance on your draw and bet. That is usually a much lower wager than normal. It has been my understanding that the loose player will usually just call a wager rather than re-raise. However, when you check to them, theyre far more likely to throw in much more chips than your willing to pay.

Late Place – Tight Opponents

This really is the greatest time to accomplish a semi-bluff, especially if most of the table checks. If that’s the case you will probaly pick up the pot now. If a gambler before has bet, you have to choose 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 consider he does, well then it is time to compute your odds, and decide if the pot odds are worth the call.

Late Place – Loose Competitors

This one can be a bit difficult, simply because it’s more difficult to put a loose player on a hand. And if your in late location against loose gambler, chances are they have already wager. It is had been I usually decide to take a chance and appear back more than the best of them and hope they do not call, and if they do, well then its time to gamble. Chances are although even a loose player will go away if you come back strong enough.

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