Seems like most folks are often talking about pre-flop system, so I would like to talk a little bit about how I play following the flop. Maybe I can support others, or maybe they have advice to improve my play.

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

Early Position – Tight Competitors:

A semi-bluff works fairly well in this position. Appear out betting and if a tight gambler did not hit a hand he’ll probably lay down, and if he’s unsure you may possibly have a call. Except watch out, if that tight gambler comes back more than the top it may possibly be time to get away.

Early Place – Loose Opponents

This really is had been I like to accomplish a defensive wager. Come to a decision how several chips you might be willing to risk on your draw and bet. It is normally a much smaller wager than regular. It has been my understanding that the loose player will usually just call a bet rather than re-raise. Nonetheless, should you check to them, theyre much more likely to throw in additional chips than your willing to pay.

Late Location – Tight Opponents

It is the very best time to complete a semi-bluff, especially if most of the table checks. If that is the case you’ll probaly pick up the pot now. If a gambler before has bet, you’ve got to choose 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. If you believe he does, effectively then it is time to determine your odds, and make a decision if the pot odds are worth the call.

Late Place – Loose Competitors

This one is really a bit difficult, because it is more difficult to put a loose player on a hand. And if your in late position against loose player, chances are they have already bet. This really is had been I usually choose to take a chance and appear back over the top of them and hope they don’t call, and if they do, nicely then its time to wager. Chances are although even a loose gambler will go away when you arrive back strong enough.

Don’t forget though that these are moves I only generate after the flop comes and I have a respectable drawing hand (usually not a gutshot either). Maybe 4 to the flush or the open ended straight, for example.
