 [Noted Poker Authority] Fearsome Check-Raise Bluffs Made Easy: A flop like K 7 3 is somewhat less dry, but it makes for a great bluffing flop. If your opponent doesn’t have either a king or a fluke monster hand, you’ll likely get the fold you want as long as the other conditions are in place (namely, your opponent has a wide range of hands, the stack sizes are right, and perhaps the continuation bet was on the weak side).

 [Holdem Poker Chat - Online Poker Forums, Strategy, Bonuses, Freerolls & Poker Site Reviews.] 3-betting in 6 max: By 3-betting pre-flop you give your opponent a chance to fold. If you 3-bet a reasonable range against a normal opponent, you will make more money in 3-bet pots by getting the pre-flop raiser to fold than you will lose when you are 4-bet (remember you are not always folding to a 4-bet).

[Online Poker,Strip Poker,Full Tilt Poker,Party Poker,Poker Room] Playing Position in Poker: It follows that when you are in early position (first to act pre-flop or among the first few) it can be very difficult to take the lead in a hand because there are so many players left to act after you. Every player who acts after you is a possible re-raise, so when you are playing from early position you want to be really careful with marginal hands like A-8, A-9, K-J because you are one re-raise away from a sticky situation.Once you have been re-raised, you have lost the lead in the hand and are no longer applying pressure to your opponent - you are dealing with the pressure they are applying to you.

[Poker User] Poker Rules Texas Hold’em: Set-Up and Play: The action resumes with the initial raiser who is sitting under the gun. Once the first betting round is finished and all remaining players have contributed equally to the pot, it is time for the flop.

 [Atlanta Poker Club Official News and Events] Season 12 Grand Champion | Travis Hart: I picked up KQ with a couple of limpers in the pot, but I was so short stacked, I had to push all in and no one called and I doubled up without seeing a flop. Not soon after that Gerald Shafer pushed all in with 66 two behind the button and I was in the small blind and had AA.

 [pokerlistings.com - Blog] Australia Part 5: The Unfortunate Conclusion: I decided I was far enough ahead of his button-raising range to re-raise and try to take the pot down. This player had raised the button three times in a row when it was folded to him, and flat-calling and playing a pot out of position was out of the question.

[Mad World of Poker] A long night at the $2/$4 table”¦: Pretty much my dream-flop (okay, quad kings are better hehehehe), I checked under the gun. Player behind me bet about 80% of the pot, player behind him shoved all-in.

 [Chips in the Middle] Swings and Roundabouts: At last, something goes my way.  I check to allow the pre flop raiser to hang himself.  He bets pot $3.60 and I raise to $14.40.  He re-raises.  Hmmm.  This is interesting.  Top set and the nut flush draw and I’m getting re-re-raised, that sounds profitable.  I call off the rest of my chips as a 90% favourite.  He has the Queen high flush draw and a gutshot.  I think only a Jack can save him.  The turn is ……  You guessed it …. a Jack.  And even after that I still had a 35% chance of winning on the river.  Which I didn’t.

 [Bluebehir's Weblog] Stealing the blinds: It really is harder to pick my spot, and I don’t usually do it with *absolute* junk, but quite often a standard raise - by me - from under the gun takes the pot. I’ve had players fold hands like Ace-Jack suited with only a Queen Ten in my hand.

 [pokerlistings.com - Blog] Bop! Brandon Cantu Wins WPT Shooting Star!: Going on a huge run late that day Baker came into the playdown to the final table leading the charge with a stack that dwarfed the closest competition. Brandon Cantu, on a heater of his own, was able to surpass him but Baker still entered the final with more than enough chips to secure him a top-three finish, until he picked up

[lsd's poker blog] March 2nd: Epilogue: Laak is a nonstop chatterbox from the moment he sits down -- mostly in an annoying but harmless way -- and me being me, I try to get into the act and give some of it back to him, but he AMOGs the bejeezus out of me, and that's the end of that. Interesting hand comes up with Phil who doesn't have many chips and is playing PSP and not really paying attention when I move all in under the gun with AJ.

 [My Poker Blog] Bad Saturday: Finally, I pick up AA and more than double when a guy pushes a J high flop with AJ. When we get to the final table the blinds escalate quickly and I’m under the gun with about $5,500 chips and the big blind is $600 and there are 8 people left.

[pokerstars Poker Blog] EPT Copenhagen: In the shadow of the feature table: Hand 3 - With the button on Patrick Andersson now, bedecked in a green tie, there’s a noise in the distance - an "Argh... (thud).” Putting that aside action is folded to Jarle Aasen in seat two, who bets 50k and takes the pot.

[Blog a Frog] What I know about Texas Holdem, II: For most live limit holdem games, the betting on the flop is usually only half of the bets for the subsequent cards. For example, for a 5-10 holdem game, you raise on the flop (total of $10 bet) and check on the turn if you do not get what you want.

[T6poker Blog] T6Rolf in Copenhagen (3): I had the best hand and would make a big profit if I would just win the side pot, and I would even be the clear chipleader at my table if I would beat them both. But the board Q52AQ was the worst-case scenario, as I got nothing, and a 60K pot went to my neighbor.
