I continually debated on topics amongst forums to post
I want to get into one technique of reading an opponent.
The speed at which one bets.
quick check vs. elongated check/minimal bet.
I find when you have a quick check to you must take more caution than a pot bet or an elongated check.
A. If they quick check.
they either have.
A. something good, and they will slow call *for slowplay*
B something decent, but they don't feel they have the chips to bet.
c. nothing.
-this situation can easily be understood by a minimal bet. 2/3pot bet ok.
Now a pot bet.
A. Chip leader wants the pot with an A.
B. Has top pair but is scared to let you see any more cards.
c. Is that solid player you know is betting with a good hand.
b. any 2 cards - is a donk don't mind him his mom never taught him right from wrong. Take his money on average and be happy in the overall span.
-This is already understood without paying nothing.
Elongated Check
A. no one has nothing, but the better questions who's willing to do some thing about it.
B. they are slow playing the everything.
C. they have a small pair looking for 2 or trips.
D. they want to make you believe they got somthing worth contemplating?
E. they actually do have something worth contemplating.
-This is never understood, and may never be. Check and be Confused. Hope you don't get the acting job.
Now which one costed you the most?
The quick check.....it makes you think you can get away with something that you might not. Bet small, it always seems better.
