Laying Down Some Hands
Hello,
I have problems about getting into hands I have no business being in and betting with over cards in cases when the board is of no help to me. I believe I badly need to know when to lay some hands I can’t use to my advantage at all. Same thing, I need to understand what I should play and what I should fold post-flop.
Say in late position you are holding KTo and you call the blind. Play then ends up 4-handed, both blinds, button and you. Flop brings Q83 rainbow and then it’s check to you. Will you check or bet? More or less, I’d bet this. How about you?
I would love to hear from you soon.
Thanks in advance.
All the best,
Matthew
Matthew,
It depends on the players at my table. If you have 3 other opponents, the odds of you being beind will be greater, but then again you may only be behind to bottom pair. If you are in position, a bet may take down the pot. Then again, you may get a check raise. It all depends on the players.
If you believe you are having problems with hands involving over cards, the simple solution is to slow down when you miss the flop. Sometimes over cards are good to speculate with, but they are easily dominated.
