You're putting your opponent on a flush draw semi-bluff from the flop and you're sitting on top pair top kicker. Do you let him keep putting chips in the pot and try to catch him with a missed draw on the river, or do you check his oil and make him decide he can't afford it?
wow the semi bluff is one of my fav moves, i love betting the draws, well to answer your ?, i have to put your shoes on... if i had top pair top kicker ima try to take the pot down asap i bet enough to not give him the right odds to call,this is too advanced of shit and a great post..
Well whenever, you are pretty sure what your opponents holdings are it is the best to get as much as you can out of the opponent.
If your top top is like an Ace King type hand then you might aswell let him go crazy since you will be a 70/30 favorite approx. But if your top pair is 10 9 or so. You might want to play the hand really slow since if he has two overs and the draw then its nearly a 50/50
Depends on your opponets and how they are playing at that moment.
Assuming you're on the flop, if you can't give them bad odds by shoving (one of you has too few chips for that), call one street, then do that on the turn. If you can, just give them a bad price right away. Most players on here will call anyways tho, but at least you'll have the edge.
Also, don't forget, top pair is still only one pair, so even if you do force them out of a draw, you have to be convinced for almost certain that they are drawing because one pair is a below an average winning hand even.
lol I love people who can't fold in spots like K3 on K92 type boards to save their life. Such easy money.
i always tray to make them pay for drawing hands
Soemtimes they aren't willing to fold no matter what... some people have a misconception that all in with a flush draw is a good idea... maybe it works for some people but not usually for me.
That's the point of charging them the wrong price.Quote:

Watch how they play their flush and straight draws and react accordingly. Ill never understand players who get discouraged by the poor play of others. Yes, they get there sometimes but in the long run, they are the ones paying you off.Quote:

Never slow play that situation, unless you are trying to give the impression you are also semi bluffing and chasing the flush. Also, top pair is only one pair, trips, two pair, and certain pockets still defeat you. If I were in that situation, I would give a testing bet to see if they are still in, this bet should be relatively high, but not too much of a percentage of your stack (due to the fact you do not have the best hand in that situation.) If they initially bet, then raise and if they re-raise, I would fold. If you initially bet and they raised I would more than likely fold or make an uneasy call. But more than likely they will bite the bullet and either call or fold then. If they do you know your hand is dominant and hope they miss on the turn.
yea the semi bluff is always a good move!
when I have a hand that goes to a good hand I always bet half the pot to get the opponent folds his hand, hit the letter if I want I bet all because the guy thinking that i will pay to bluffing
give them a bad price to chase their draw. it doesn't matter if they call and hit it a couple of times because if you're giving them the wrong price to call you're making the best play whilst they're just spewing money in the long run.
