Re: Advice for draw poker online?
If you strongly suspected that he was steaming then you would have done better to let him bluff after the draw. I find a lot of your edge against decent players in this game comes from picking off bluffs in the right spots.
Also don't underestimate the value of drawing to fill up, you'll hit less than 10% but when you do you'll win a pot of 6 bets (8 bets for fishier players). Standing pat like you did isn't necessarily a bad strategy, it depends on how likely you judge him to be bluffing. My calculation on the back of a napkin suggests that if he's bluffing an eighth of the time or less you do best to draw and fold if you miss. If he's bluffing a third of the time or more, you do best to draw and call if you miss. Standing pat does best in that in between region. This assumes he will never continue the bluff if you stand pat, which may be true for Rolleddd but certainly not for all steamers. So generally if you're worried about a bluff, especially if standing pat wont always stop them, you won't go too wrong by simply drawing and making a decision between calling and folding when you dont improve. |
