News: Focus on Fixed Limit: Two New Articles

Today we are happy to bring you two new fixed limit articles. For our silver members, we have an article on value raises on the flop with draws, and for our gold members, an article on standard lines.

article about RAISING DRAWS FOR VALUE

""In general, you have to ask yourself the following question when
holding a good draw: Is there a possibility that I can win the hand
without a showdown, because I can make all my opponents fold their hand?
This way of playing a hand is called a semi-bluff and is described in the bronze-section: Semi bluff and pure bluff

In the gold-section, this subject is analysed even further: Semi-Bluffs

Whenever you see the opportunity to win a hand without a showdown, you
should play a good draw as aggressively as possible. Yet there are
also situations in which you don’t see this opportunity to make all
opponents fold, and should still play your draw aggressively and raise
or even cap."

This silver article, deals with raising draws on the flop for value. That means that you're raising even though you are sure that you won't get all of your opponents to fold. How many opponents need to be in the hand and how much equity you need in the different situations is explained with several examples: When can you raise for value on the flop with a draw?

STANDARD LINES ADVANCED

The second article of todays FL focus week is for our gold member and deals with standard lines and when to use them. The article teaches you which criteria need to be met in order to employ standard lines and in which situations you should deviate: Standard Lines - Advanced
