A Tough Poker Situation
July 26th, 2009
Jerry reraises you on the flop, making it three bets, and Jim calls the three bets. You also call the three bets. Now 0 comes off the deck, for [VhS-S-S, Jerry bets out into you, and Jim calls the bet. Now you have a tough situation to deal with! You really aren't worried that Jim might have you beaten. The question is, does Jerry have you beat (as he would with an A or three fours) or is he holding a big draw like 0-0, g]-[2, GH5L E3" 0, or something similar? I would lean toward folding my hand here, but everything would depend on my read of the player. Is Jerry the type to try to bluff me here? When I look straight at him, what do I sense he is pondering? Does he want me to call or to fold right now? Just make your best guess and go with it! You will find that the more often you're put in this situation, the better you become at reading your opponents.

Protect Your Poker Hand
July 25th, 2009
Jerry and Jim both call your raise, and the next card off the deck is the 0, for 0-0-0-0. Jerry and Jim now check to you. They probably aren't checking an ace (a pair of aces) to you, and you don't want to give them a free draw at their flush, or at an overcard hand like K-Q. So you bet to protect your hand.
The Elephant Scares You Off
Dumbo makes it three bets to go, and he isn't the type to raise it unless he has a big hand. Dumbo makes a lot of calls but doesn't raise too often. Jerry now folds, and Jim calls the $15 bet. It is only $5 more to you to call, so I would call, but I'd be ready to fold my hand on fourth street for one bet from Dumbo. I would be thinking that Dumbo has at least a pair of aces with a high kicker, and probably two pair, aces up with A-10 or A-6.
Raising the Jackal on Fourth Street When a Good Card Hits
Jerry and Jim both call your raise on the flop, and now the 0 comes off the deck for 0-0-0-0. (This is a good card for you: first, because now there are only two aces left and the chances that one of your two opponents has it are decreased; second, because this isn't a straight or a flush card.) Jerry checks and now Jim bets out into you. You decide that you have Jim beat and you raise to protect your hand, because there is a chance that your raise here will cause Jerry to fold his flush draw. If Jerry does have an ace, you will know when he raises it to $30 to go, and now you can fold your hand. Either way, you're pretty sure you have Jim beaten here, because he's a jackal who hasn't made a bet or raise until now! Don't be afraid to raise Jim on fourth street if you think you have him beat.
