Introduction

In this article
  • Why to bet
  • What sort of bets types are at your disposal

What weapons are at your disposal in No-Limit Hold'em? Of course, you have your logic, your experience and your reads. But most important are your chips!

This means the most important questions are: when do you put your chips at risk and, more importantly, how many of them? Another important thing is to know why you put your chips at risk and what you hope to ultimately achieve. This article is intended to give you an overview of why you should put your chips at risk at all and which goals you want to achieve in what situations.

... all they can do due to the lack of information about the opposing player's hand is to call down and pray for the better kicker ...

I just love it! sounds so good. :D

in 10 cents tour i dont apply any of these, i just go allin whenever i had a strong hand.

However, in $1.50 SNG i normally put more times reading other player playing style...n use some of above betting which is very profitable.

About block bets, isn't it obvious for villain what are we doing, so he could simply bluff raise. Or should we also do that with strong made hands for balance?
