Theoretical foundations of backdoor draws in Fixed Limit - yes, believe it or not, there is a theory behind every door. In case you are wondering what exactly these theoretical foundations are, then kombi's article should give you an answer to that and also teach you how to properly evaluate the worth of your backdoor draws in order to help you make better decisions.
Another recently added article covers the advantages and weaknesses of a non-standard move: check/raising the turn with initiative. It helps you balance your check/call and check/fold lines, since observing opponents would otherwise quickly know that a check on the turns means weakness. Reading the article on this matter should help you further refine your postflop game.
The last article for this week covers an important topic of drawing hands, as it describes different kinds of draws and explains their peculiarities in detail. If you found yourself overplaying your weak draws or not getting enough value from your strong ones, then these things will trouble you no more after reading this article.
