Re: Where does most of your winnings come from?
[ QUOTE ]
Two Questions about this thread: 1. If pocket pairs are so vital, do you limp in with them OOP? If so, how often? 2. Terminology Question: Harrington refers to making a "continuation bet" on the turn, but he is talking about a situation where you checked the flop instead of making the continuation bet then. But is this forum's generally accepted use of "turn continuation bet" one where you made a continuation bet on the flop and then another one on the turn? If so, what would you call the move Harrington is talking about? [/ QUOTE ] 1. Yes, and every goddamn time. 2. Yes, that is the forum's generally accepted usage of "turn continuation bet". I would call the move Harrington describes poor play, at least in ring games. |

Re: Where does most of your winnings come from?
I think the turn continuation bet, in the spot where nobody has bet the flop and you are in middle position, is a strong move and has a high success rate in stealing pots. Clearly, I think it has to be made with the right circumstances, with only two or three people in the pot, the board texture has to be right, and they have to respect your bet. If you're in MP, the bet is more likely to be uncalled since opponents won't put you on a steal, where if your'e in LP then they might consider calling with ace high or something because they feel you're trying to pick the pot up. Note that the preflop action is important too... if it's an unraised pot, then it's probably going to work more, depending on the table.
