10 thoughts on “Basic Post Flop Strategy”

  1. Calling is worse than betting (we want a fold). I dont understand it…It means, if I dont really like my hand, I should raise or fold, not call ?

  2. Correct. It's not a hard rule, but when you are learning poker, it's better to find out where you stand by putting in a bet early or just letting the hand go. Calling sets you up for more mistakes later in the hand if you don't have a strong hand. If you bet and get a call, you know you are beat. Other times you will take the pot down right there.

  3. Hiya – just thought I'd throw this out there.
    Do you think its important to also consider their aggression factor combined with WTSD?
    Someone could have a WTSD of 25% but have an aggression factor of 10, this could mean they are constantly betting people out of pots on the flop, turn or river with complete air.
    What do you think ?
    Cheers

  4. M0rph3us67 – I never really thought of that, but I would agree looking from the outside. I created these "Basic" videos so people can understand the basics of how we use Holdem Manager to make decisions at the table. I've personally never been a fan of using agg factor stats even though most players do use agg stats religiously.

  5. Isn't that obvious? Calling possibly leads to difficult decisions on turn/river.So either fold or (semi-)bluff raise and take the pot right now.

  6. Hi. I have a simple question: I know how stupid it sounds, but I have evaluated my hand history after feeling like I was consistently sucked out on. So I took my hand history of the last three months (I'm not a high volume player), and the counter was at just above 11,000 hands. In 862 of them, I was All-in, 672 of it before the river. It seems like I played fairly well, considering that I was a mathematical favorite on 432 of them (64%). Out of those 432 times I was the favorite, I only won 229 times  (53%). But in the remaining 240 hands I entered a dog, I only won 61 times (25%).

    So, my question: How can I minimize the influence of cards/luck to my game? I already went on to less shoves pre-river and it helped a little bit, but it's hard to get paid of in micro stacks without shoving frequentally. How do I do it?
