Raising hands for deception

Posted by On June - 10 - 2010

So we talked about betting pre-flop to show strength and to play aggressive poker.  But you can also bet strongly post flop, or even after the turn and river cards.  As if you’ve been waiting for a card, by just checking and then luck suddenly came your way… its my favorite bluff, but once again you can’t over use it.

Even if you have a relatively weak starting hand, yet a hand that could get some help from the table… and thats important!!   Always think about the possible combinations that the shared cards on the table and an imaginery hand could have.  Then think about how many chips you could commit, obviously if you are deep stacked then you can afford a high raise.  The payback for taking this chance is always worth it in my opinion.
