Seems like most individuals are constantly talking about pre-flop method, so I wanted to speak a bit about how I bet on following the flop. Perhaps I can support others, or maybe they have advice to improve my play.

I consider that 2 of the most essential plays following the flop are the semi-bluff and the defensive bet. That's because these are the plays you produce if you havent hit a hand but you have a fine drawing hand. Its easy to bet on a hand if you flop a monster. But I feel that these two are the greatest techniques to play a drawing. Each one is bet depending on you opponent(s) and your postion. So here is how I play it, so tell me what you think.

Early Placement - Tight Opponents:

A semi-bluff works fairly well in this position. Come out wagering and if a tight gambler did not hit a hand he will most likely lay down, and if he is unsure you may have a call. But watch out, if that tight gambler comes back more than the top it may perhaps be time to acquire away.

Early Position - Loose Opponents

This really is had been I like to do a defensive wager. Decide how numerous chips you might be willing to chance on your draw and bet. This is usually a much lower bet than regular. It has been my encounter that the loose gambler will usually just call a wager rather than re-raise. However, if you check to them, theyre more likely to throw in far more chips than your willing to pay.

Late Position - Tight Competitors

That is the very best time to try and do a semi-bluff, specifically 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've got to come to a decision if he has a hand or not. If not, then reraise and he'll possibly go away since he was attempting to steal the pot. In the event you imagine he does, nicely then it is time to compute your odds, and determine if the pot odds are worth the call.

Late Position - Loose Opponents

This one can be a bit difficult, because it's tougher to put a loose player on a hand. And if your in late position against loose gambler, odds are they've already wager. This is had been I usually come to a decision to take a chance and arrive back more than the best of them and pray they don't call, and if they do, nicely then its time to gamble. Chances are though even a loose gambler will go away when you are available back strong enough.

Remember although that these are moves I only produce following the flop comes and I have a respectable drawing hand (usually not a gutshot either). Perhaps 4 to the flush or the open ended straight, for instance.
