Poker Betting Strategies
Sometimes it seems like people bet with seemingly no poker strategy, no rhyme or reason. How often do you someone in a multihand pot lead out betting on the pot, and then the turn and the river and end up having the low pair or medium pair with mediocre kicker? There’s a stark difference between trying to make a well placed bluff and betting wantonly without considering the circumstances or poker players you are playing against. All to often while playing online poker do you see players who seemingly bet every hand with no apparent strategy. Occasionally, if you play like that the cards will fall your way and you’ll win a hand every now and again, and maybe even piss off some other players at the table and send them on tilt, but in the long run it’s a pointless strategy.
If the flop comes out K-7-4 and you are holding Q-4, and you think your opponent in the hand is someone who will liekly throw away a middle pair when faced with a nice sized bet, then by all means go ahead and do it. But if you contiunallty lead out and bet with that type of hand, regardless of how many people are in the pot and what their particular playing strategy might be, then you will be in for losing poker in the long haul.
