Play Winning Poker As A Tight Passive Player

One of the main problems I used to have with c-bets was that I used them every single time I raised before the flop. It was just what I believed - what kind of whimp would make a raise before the flop and then check? It just didn't seem right to make a preflop raise without a continuation bet.

For example, online players will almost always make a continuation bet after the Flop. What is the purpose of this bet? Is it to illicit a call or to make your opponent fold? If you don't know, what are you making the bet for?

If you've ever played a poker/aztec fortune slot machine/pokie machine online or at a casino, you may have seen a game in which the progressive jackpot was just won. Instinctively, you may have thought that it was no longer worth it playing on that slot machine. You were right. When the progressive jackpot starts, the expected value is at its minimum: when you play, you're losing money. But as the progressive jackpot rises, your expected value gets better and better, until at one point it becomes positive. At that point, every single coin you put in has a positive value: it becomes an investment and you can win at poker machines! Hence why it is the best poker machine strategy.

When you're sitting in prime position, aka the Dealer button, and everyone folds to you and you raise the big blind this is called "blind stealing". The reason its also called "stealing" is because regularly of the time the blinds will fold to a raise. As long as it is a exceeding enough upheave. Even if one of them calls it can still be a virtuous bet because now the pot is lion's share* and you're in a position of strength. You can now represent the teeter much easier. Making it further likely that you can still win the pot with an inferior hand.

Check Raise: This is also known as trapping. The check raise works by acting weak in hopes of hiding your strength. With any luck, this will encourage a bluff or at least a misinformed bet from your opponent to get him to put his chips to the pot.

poker betting strategy Another tactic to use it by really pushing forward with a relentless aggressive betting strategy. It takes a little bit of faith but I find this tactics pays out more than almost any other.

Then comes the real knowledge, reading players. You can do this online to an extent. You'll have to closely watch the players bets. See, certain players are very aggressive, and certain players are very conservative. Players will stick to the same relative betting pattern when they play, unless they are either really bad, or really good. You'll learn how to pay attention to these patterns and predict when they're bluffing and when they've got a good hand.
