Seems like most people are usually talking about pre-flop method, so I would like to talk a tiny bit about how I wager on immediately after the flop. Perhaps I can aid others, or possibly they’ve got advice to improve my play.

I think that two of the most essential plays after the flop are the semi-bluff and the defensive bet. Which is because these are the plays you produce if you havent hit a hand except you have a very good drawing hand. Its easy to bet on a hand when you flop a monster. But I think that these 2 are the ideal approaches to bet on a drawing. Each one is played 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 Opponents:

A semi-bluff works fairly effectively in this position. Arrive out betting and if a tight gambler did not hit a hand he’ll most likely lay down, and if he’s unsure you may possibly acquire a call. But watch out, if that tight gambler comes back more than the top it might be time to acquire away.

Early Position – Loose Opponents

It is were I like to complete a defensive bet. Decide how several chips you’re willing to risk on your draw and wager. This can be normally a much lower wager than regular. It has been my encounter that the loose gambler will usually just call a bet instead of re-raise. On the other hand, in the event you check to them, theyre far more likely to throw in additional chips than your willing to pay.

Late Placement – Tight Competitors

This is the best time to do a semi-bluff, specially if most of the table checks. If that’s the case you will probaly pick up the pot now. If a player prior to has wager, you’ve got to come to a decision 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 imagine he does, well then it’s time to determine your odds, and make a decision if the pot odds are worth the call.

Late Position – Loose Competitors

This one is really a bit complicated, simply because it’s more difficult to put a loose gambler on a hand. And if your in late location against loose gambler, odds are they have already bet. That is were I usually determine to take a chance and appear back over the best of them and hope they do not call, and if they do, properly then its time to gamble. Chances are though even a loose player will go away if you arrive back strong enough.

Don’t forget though that these are moves I only produce after 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 example.
