Decisions to make every time its your turn

#1 18th September 2009, 7:52 PM

This is a list of questions out of The Little Green Book to go through when its your turn to bet.

What do you think should be added on to this list or what do you not agree with? Or what situations do you think would contradict this list?

Quote:

How are my opponents playing? Conservatively? Aggressively? Tentatively?
What are some of the hands my opponents are likely to hold?
What do my opponents think I have?
Am I in good position or bad position?

After processing the answers to those questions, I move on to the most important questions.

5. Should I bet (or raise)?

If I think I have the best hand, I nearly always answer yes, and I bet or raise
If I think I can force weak opponents out of the pot with this bet or future bets, I nearly always answer yes, and I bet or raise
If I have a good draw and i think there is a good chance that my opponents will fold, I nearly always answer yes, and I bet or raise

6. Should I check (or fold)?

If I think I have the worst hand, I nearly always answer yes, and I check or fold
If I think my opponents are strong, I nearly always answer yes, and I check or fold
If I'm on a draw but not getting a good price, I nearly always answer yes, and I check or fold

If after careful analysis, I dont think I should raise and I don't think I should fold, i feel confident that calling a bet (or checking) is correct.

Theres no problem with that, if you want to use your full 15 seconds every time its your turn then its up to you. 15 seconds still isnt a lot of time to go through all the decisions you need to make...

I like his answers but I have shortened them up a bit to my style and taste. I thought it was a good book as well.
