Evaluating post flop play

[M50Paul]

How do you evaluate your post flop play? Is there something you look at that helps you improve or identifes a weakness in post flop play?
Thanks

Post some hands.

Exaclty what cold_cash said. There's really not going to be a way for you to evaluate yourself at this point. In the Micro-Limit forum that is a FAQ stickied at the top. That FAQ explains how to go about posting hands.

This is probably the single most helpful thing you can do.

I have one easy test for you to take...

See how much you're checking as opposed to raising or folding. If you're doing a lot of checking, you can just about be certain that your post flop play is poor.

The basic areas you need to get comfortable in are:

Recognizing the pot odds you need to call flop bets with overcard and drawing hands.

Knowing all the situations where you'll want to raise, check raise and 3-bet. There are the obvious ones when you are reasonably sure you have a hand that is good enough to win the pot, but even more common are the situations where you have a good draw or maybe a middle pair on a rag board. This becomes one of the most critical advantages of the best players.

Seeing all the hands that you can bet on the river. A lot of people are just happy to check a so-so or moderately good hand and then find out they won the pot and don't win that 1 more BB. But since a really good win rate is along the lines of 4 BB/100 you can see how significant a difference in your win rate comes from not missing the one or two opportunities like this that come along every 100 hands or so.
