Hold em Poker : Semi-Bluffing and Defensive Gambling
Seems like most people are usually talking about pre-flop method, so I would like to speak a tiny bit about how I bet on following the flop. Perhaps I can aid others, or perhaps they've got advice to improve my play.
I imagine that 2 of the most essential plays soon after the flop are the semi-bluff and the defensive bet. That's because these are the plays you generate once you havent hit a hand except you've got a good drawing hand. Its easy to play a hand once you flop a monster. Except I feel that these 2 are the best methods to wager on a drawing. Each one is played depending on you challenger(s) and your postion. So here is how I bet on it, so tell me what you think.
Early Location - Tight Competitors:
A semi-bluff works fairly effectively in this position. Appear out gambling and if a tight gambler did not hit a hand he'll most likely lay down, and if he's unsure you may perhaps have a call. But watch out, if that tight gambler comes back over the top it may perhaps be time to have away.
Early Position - Loose Opponents
That is had been I like to perform a defensive wager. Determine how many chips you might be willing to risk on your draw and bet. It is usually a much smaller wager than normal. It's been my encounter that the loose gambler will usually just call a bet instead of re-raise. Nevertheless, in the event you check to them, theyre far more likely to throw in additional chips than your willing to pay.
Late Position - Tight Opponents
This is the greatest time to accomplish a semi-bluff, particularly if most of the table checks. If that's the case you'll probaly pick up the pot now. If a gambler before has bet, you could have to choose if he has a hand or not. If not, then reraise and he will most likely go away since he was attempting to steal the pot. In case you feel he does, nicely then it's time to compute your odds, and choose if the pot odds are worth the call.
Late Placement - Loose Competitors
This one is really a bit complicated, because it is more difficult to put a loose gambler on a hand. And if your in late location against loose player, chances are they've already bet. This really is had been I usually determine to take a chance and arrive back over the best of them and pray they don't call, and if they do, effectively then its time to gamble. Chances are though even a loose player will go away in case you arrive back strong enough.
Keep in mind though that these are moves I only make immediately after the flop comes and I have a reasonable drawing hand (usually not a gutshot either). Perhaps four to the flush or the open ended straight, for instance.
