RVG, some stats would be great.

Thanks for the responses guys. I know this is a leak of mine. any info on when to fire the first barrel, second barrel and third barrel? What I am now thinking

Keys for a flop bet.

1) Number of callers preflop > or equal to 4 generally means check.

2) Bet only with position

3) Be more likely to bet a ragged flop rather than a coordinated one

4) Backdoor straights or flushs may make you more likely to bet as it might ensure a free card

Turn bets.

1) If the Turn helps anything, be less inclined to bet

2) Position is important. The later to act the more likely to bet

3) Yould should not bet into 3 or more players unless you have a very good read on them and feel they will all fold

River bet

1) you will rarely chase more than 1 or 2 people out

2) You can do this only if all draws obviously miss (meaning you may be good anyway)


Overall, it is Ok to bet the flop if you feel it will at least get you a free card. After that, it is not a sin to slow down.

Am I right?
