Title: Playing your draws Post by: NoflopsHomer on August 19, 2005, 04:04:06 PM Just out of curiousity, do you play your draws aggressively or passively? I use to love playing them incredibly aggressively, but I've recently tightened up a bit and it's paying off. Obviously you should mix your strategies up, but how do you like to play those 8 or 9-outers?

I prefer to play them aggresivley, but quite often its best to be passive with them.

If yes to both, aggressive Title: Re: Playing your draws Post by: thediceman on August 19, 2005, 04:26:42 PM I tend to play them aggressive on the flop and passive on the turn.
This obviously various on each hand. If I have a draw on after the flop I will often bet this aggressively and continue to play it aggressive on the turn as to suggest I'm not playing a drawing hand. If I have only hit a draw on the turn I tend to play this passive as I normally have little invested in the pot at this stage. Title: Re: Playing your draws Post by: Royal Flush on August 19, 2005, 05:11:31 PM What i mean is if its limit holdem i am going to bet, if its NL cash i will probably check and call, if its a nl tourney and the blinds are low i will be passive, if its late stages of NL tourney then i will be aggresive.
All these depend on pots odds aswell, i kinda assume we all know where we are regarding the pot odds. |
