jdz depends rly of the flop.you should know sss handrange yourself, therefore is alot easyer to guess opponents hand. i mean, they wont play less than broadway cards, if you raised preflop. even then, they shouldnt call to see the flop - either push preflop or fold :) so conti-bet between two SSS players shouldnt be possible at all.

Awesome article, it helps a lot.#22
DrDunne, 22 Jul 11 15:15
so just to clarify.... If you hold an FD/OESD/DGS draw on the flop and your C-bet was raised, you may call if you don’t have to pay more than ¾ of the pot size??#23
hasenbraten, 27 Jul 11 07:52
As usual, its actualy not that easy. Not only the raise-size is of importance but also the remaining stack if u call as well as the exact structure of the board / ur exact hand (AKcc on 2c6cTh is worth more then 2c3c on AcAdQc) of course.#24

a lot of things don't really make sense when it comes to ingame situations,but that's probably because it is for beginners.for example,why raise against a single opponent + a large bet with a strong draw (OESD/FD)? if he re-raises we will have to fold a nice hand and if we get right odds,why spoil them?Anyway,raising is probably -EV since we won't make our draw THAT often and our opponent might not bet on the turn or river if a draw completes and he has TPTK/two-pair.
am i wrong here?

Very well written and informative article.#28
Gnawkie, 25 Aug 11 15:04
Good article, I just have one question regarding Example #22 with an AA overpair and K 7 4 on flop. When the opponent re-raises, is it really smart to re-raise again? Aren't odds quite big that he hit a three-of-a-kind?Thanks in advance,

On "How do you play on the flop" - "How should you react to a raise" says:"As a general rule: you can call as long as you don't have to pay more than 3/4 of the pot size (including actions before you)."
I don't understand what "including actions before you" refers to. Can someone explain? Thanks.

#29 I guess they mean the pot size before any bets + the amount of bets before you.Example
Pot size: $1
UTG bets: $0.75
Pot size: $1, but including actions before you, you count it as $1,75

Good article. They're all pretty helpful. I've won a few thousand from mtt's on pokerstars before i found this site but i'd never won a penny playing cash. Then I started using the sss and bss strategy on everest poker with the bankroll management tips and i've increased the bankroll by 30 percent in 2 days :)#33
