Cloud Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Hi All, I have started playing a lot of limit cash poker - doing quite well, and the balance is gradually climbing up. I'm normally confident about how I approach each hand and where I want to go with it - but deal me a hand with two high cards, and then a flop comes with 3, 5 and 8 and it's the one hand where I really don't know where I'm going with it. I know pot odds and implied pot odds come into play - but post flop it's hard to work these out as any runners could have hit a pair or be playing overcards like myself. Anyone got any hard and fast rules in this scenario, or any advice would be much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well... 1st:I assume you would raise preflop... so hopefully noone holds small cards like the ones on the flop... 2nd:If I raised with a big hand preflop I would bet it postflop regardless of what comes on the flop... 3rd: If I am called, I will consider what he calls with... straight possibility, flushpossibility, did he afterall hit a small pair... or did he hit trips...? 4th: I am likely to bet it again after the turn, regardless of the turn card... 5th: If nothing of his presumed wanted cards doesn't show on the river I will bet it again... Sometimes I win ...sometimes I lose... BUT... I win more often than I lose :ok GL with it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted May 6, 2006 Author Share Posted May 6, 2006 Re: Overcards Cheers Pene - Parts 1 and 2 are generally what I would do anyway - it's when betting again after the flop and my opponent/s betting/calling is where my lack of decisiveness lies - and it is an area where I am probably throwing some money away. I guessed that maybe I should be a little more aggressive - I was tending to be a caller rather than putting my chips down first and therefore I was showing weakness.
