Maximize the Nuts
Friday, March 12th, 2010Optimizing the best poker online hand is an important part of a successful casino game. When you get the best hand, it’s imperative that you get the most out of it by getting as much of your opponents’ money into the online poker pot as you can. Drawing a winner is just the beginning-you’ve got to find a way to build up the pot as well. It’s a fine line-verbetting the pot can scare everybody out of the hand, and underbetting can lead to a few round of checking, which won’t fatten the pot for you. A key part of properly playing a winning hand is knowing how your opponents perceive you. If your opponents think that you’re a tight player, coming out betting probably isn’t the best way to go, since they’ll be likely to put you on a good hand and fold. If you’ve got a rep as a tight player, feign weakness by checking and hope someone tries to buy the pot. If you’re pegged as a bluffer, you can loosen up your betting a bit and act like you’re trying to buy the pot. Make it affordable to see the next card-bet two or three times the blind, and hopefully someone will either call you or re-raise you.
