Advanced Holdem Tips For Betting Perfectly Pre-Flop.
Pre-flop is the easiest time to bet. Pre-flop odds are simple and obvious. You will always make your bet in relation to the size of the big blind. A $100 bet is strong with a $20 blind but very weak with a $100 blind.
To start out just stick the old 3xbb rule. This one never fails to be successful. You can mix things up a little by betting a little more when you are in later positions. Have a limit to how much you will reraise and/or call depending on the quality of your hand. Don't risk going all-in pre-flop if you have a coin flip hand.
Advanced Holdem Tips For Betting Perfectly Post-Flop.
After the flop drops the odds and bets get a lot more difficult. Depending on how well you did on the flop, and how well you think your opponents did will dictate how much you are betting. Post-flop bets are usually done in relation to the size of the pot, although can be done in reference to the blind as well.
Generally you may want to lead with a half-pot bet with a good hand or a full-pot bet with a strong hand. Sometimes you can lead full-pot with a weak hand as your bluff, or semi-bluff. Always be careful though when the flop is either a straight draw or a flush draw. You want to make sure you bet the pot properly so that any opponents on a draw aren't getting the right odds to call. You can weed out a lot of players like this (as most will play strictly to pot odds)
