Quiz of the Week: Unimproved Overcards (FL)
Every poker player knows the problem: you have a nice hand and raise it
accordingly. You however miss the flop and find yourself with only
overcards on the board.
Giving up right away would be detrimental to your winning rate,
especially in the long run. So how are you supposed to go on? What's
the game plan?
As usual, a lot depends on the circumstances: What kind of opponent are
you up against? Are there many possible draws? Is a bluff probable in
that spot or are you certain you're behind?
Since you will continuously and frequently run into these spots, it's
crucial to learn when to keep the initiative by staying aggressive, and
when to take a step back and reconsider.
The central idea of this approach is to relate opposing ranges to the
opponent types you're facing. If you assess the situations adequately,
you will be able to significantly increase the table value with your
premium hands.
