Holdem Lesson - A Quick Lesson On Post-Flop Play
Read this for a quick Holdem lesson in pre-flop gameplay. What you do pre-flop is probably the most important part of Texas Holdem.
Post Flop Holdem Lesson #1 - Odds, Odds, Odds
Post-flop play is all about odds. Playing after the flop is different to pre-flop. Once you have seen the flop you know where you stand and have to make your plan to win.
The best way to become good post-flop is to learn odds. You need to understand things like
-the probability of your or someone else hitting
-the probability of what the flop will be
-the probability of making a better hand post flop
For example. If you have two different cards pre-flop than you have about a 1 in 3 chance of making a pair on the flop. And if the flop comes and there is a pair on the board the chances of anyone hitting are a lot lower than if there are three different cards.
Post Flop Holdem Lesson #2 - First Rule Of Holdem
The number one rule in Holdem that almost every single person will ever tell you is this: Don't play post-flop if you didn't hit!
Once the flop has come you have seen 5 of the total 7 cards you will get. If you haven't got a decent hand by now your chances are slim of actually making a good hand. It's a fair enough assumption that at least one person betting post-flop actually hit a hand.
Post-flop play is very important in your overall Holdem game. This quick Holdem lesson covered the main areas of post-flop play.
