Quiz of the Week: Raised Pot with Initiative (NL)
Today's edition of our weekly quiz deals with the first steps beginners have to take after the flop. You have raised and are now faced with a call - how do you proceed?
| In the early phase of our poker career, we are usually the ones with initiative when we get to the flop. At that stage, pre-flop play is easy and comprehensive, compactly reduced to a simple chart, meaning we would usually either raise, or fold.
Things get more complex after the flop, though; your hand transforms from a simple 2-card combination into a post-flop hand taking into account at least 5 cards. The first step in choosing the appropriate approach, is to classify your hand. Once you know your hand's type, you have to view it relation to the board. Do you need to protect? Do you have the odds to call? Do you need fold equity? How do you perform against the opponent's range? It's only after these considerations that you are finally able to pick the correct line of action with the most profitable expectations. Have you grasped the thought process involved with basic post-flop play yet?
