Poker Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.
Practice Matters
Make sure that if you’ve made these plays
Make sure that if you’ve made these plays more than once against the same opponent that you occasionally mix up your play because they’ll obviously start to become aware of what you’re doing. This is particularly true with how you are sizing your flop bet. If you bet on the light side with your missed hand, and larger with your connected hands, then make sure one time you switch these up. Obviously if opponents are looking to call a lot of bets (particularly in position) on the flop, then they are thinking about the game and what you’re doing. Thinking opponents are aware and may get a read on your play. More importantly some of these players may even make a multiple street bluff by raising the turn with a wide range. So you need to pay careful attention and make sure to target most of the players that are calling the flop, but folding the turn.
A majority of LAs will be making these plays
A majority of LAs will be making these plays when they have position on you. Sometimes though there are some really bad LAs that will do this out of position with almost any two cards (usually with ace high). If you notice that an opponent will also call flop bets out of position, but fold to a turn bet, then make sure you fire second bullets liberally when you have position.
