I have played 1-2 no limit poker for a year now and have become a really tight player and have made money. Still consider myself a newbie. Only play 4 percent of the hands I am dealt.
Here is a problem I run into and have loss big pots:
After the flop, I have a "set/trips" of cards. I am winning at that point. I bet the pot to discourage people from chasing, but idiots I play against will chase their hands though odds are against them (one clown I played against bet $50 -pot had $50 in it- to try and get an inside straight--of course he hit it and I lost my stack to him).
Once the turn or river comes, and say it does possibly give them a flush or straight, what approach or strategy should I use to evaluate if they have indeed hit it and got me beat?
I know I wont know for a fact obviously, but several times they are playing other hands and I have them covered. Any suggestions would be appreciated....lately I have been trying to analyze the size of their bet, once the scare card comes...
