Welcome back everyone, my last blog discussed about Preflop betting. Now, we will get into what to do after the flop. The general rules for betting after the flop are simple……..if you are the raiser Preflop, then you bet after the flop regardless if you hit the flop or not. The best amount to bet is anywhere between two-thirds the size of the pot to the full amount of the pot. The pot is simply how many chips are in the center of the felt after the flop. For example, if there is 50 dollars in the pot after the flop, then the right bet size would be between 35 and 50 dollars.
Exception: the only time you would not continue with a continuation bet is if you have ace king for example, and you see a flop of a three card flush draw or a three card straight draw and you don't have a flush or straight draw at all.
If you are the caller Preflop, then for purposes of just starting out, fold the hand if the flop misses your hand all together. Raise if you flop a monster hand or a monster draw. Monster draw consist of a pair with a flush or straight draw or both. Call if you have a straight or flush draw as well as top pair with a weak kicker.
That in a nutshell is the best way for a poker player who is just starting out to begin playing post flop. Next blog will discuss the turn stage of Betting. Thank you and goodnight. :)
