What’s going on everybody, here is another article by myself
Adam Chern telling you how to improve your game at online
Texas Holdem. Now you may know I don't have the reputation
as a winning poker player but I do know what I’m doing.
This article covers some very important betting strategy
that can lead to some easy wins.
I’m going to let you know about a discovery I have made
playing at the tables that helps me build my chip stack
while I am playing.
So your sitting at a table, holding lets say, 8 9. You just
call to see a flop from 4th position. It comes down to you
and two other people with 4 1/2 Big blinds in the middle.
Now the board shows,
2 2 Q
A player bets three BB at you, your reaction is holy crap; I
don't have trips or even a pair! You click the fold button.
Wait a minute now... If he bet at you and showed like he had
trips, people are not going to call with a decent hand
because the player is representing trips.
Here is what you do. Your hole cards are
4 5. You’re in the
BB and there are 3 limpers.
The Flop is:
9 A 9
You are first to act your initial reaction is to check.
WRONG! Bet it out. Bet 2/3 of the total pot. You will be
representing trips and have players fold to you. The chance
of someone actually holding a 9 is 1/26. You should always
play this situation very aggressively because you are going
to win a large percentage of the time if your first one in.
You will be able to tell who has trips and who doesn’t. They
will likely re raise or simply dummy call you to the bank.
Watch out, if someone is acting weak their strong, if
someone is acting strong their week... most of the time.
Remember to always keep your chip stacks growing, and
keep the good cards rolling. There is no limit to what you
can win but there is a limit on what you can lose, quit when
your ahead and always gamble responsibly. Bankroll
