Re: What is in your NL bag of tricks?
Every now and then, when a board comes rainbow and paired (e.g. 10[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 10[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]) I like to check and call small bets on the flop and turn, then bet 3/4 the pot on the river. 90% of the time your opponent believes you slow played your trips and will fold his hand. Of course, you have to be careful not to do this very often and only do it when you have a lot of chips and a good read on your opponent. Obviously, if the board double pairs, be very careful.

Re: What is in your NL bag of tricks?
fast playing = 1/2 to pot sized bet?
With the exception of the way ahead or way beind line, I seem to be using these concepts in my play or at least understood their potential. I just didn't know the terminology. The only ones that are working for me at these limits are the block and continuation bets. |

Re: What is in your NL bag of tricks?
fast play just means betting hard.
the move most of these guys are talking about is basically not slowplaying. |

[ QUOTE ]
However, not everyone realizes that the pots you lose when continuation goes wrong are much bigger than those you take down. Say the pot is $20, and you bet half pot for continuation with your AK that missed or what not. That's a $10 bet. If you successfully push out your opponent, you take down a $20 pot. If you get called or raised, most likely you're beat and you're losing a $40 pot. So to make continuation worthwhile, you must win over 66% of the time if you bet 1/2 pot, over 75% of the time if you bet pot and so on. So are they really worth the risk? [/ QUOTE ] This is just wrong. Half pot CB needs to fold opponent 1 in 3 (33%). I get called twice and lose two continuation bets (-$20), fold him once (+$20). Actually less. Sometime I spike an out, or check it down and win anyway. Lets say 30% [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |
