Ok, glad you asked, first of all, what you will read below is just how another beginner look at the post flop game, nothing here will be put in stone and i cant claim that it will be right way to do it, im not long time winner currently trying to grind at 4nl and get some cash at CC FR to continue with cash game..
Here we GO, first of all you need to get clear with the hands you want to play preflop because the way you act preflop will most of the time determine the whole your hand after the flop, with preflop i would strongly recommend you to avoid playing any weak A from any position, weak ave would be ofsuit ace and even suited from early position, not to mention weak kings and queens, forget about them, also i would avoid ATo AJo KJo QT0 trom early position and even in position when you face an raise, atleast until you get some info about your oppnents and their opening rages and how to exploit them, but if i go there ill miss the point of this post, all this is best explained in little green one, plus pay attention on how to take notes about players which is describef the best in John A book, there you will learn a lot about player habits and how to exploit them...
Now post flop, considering that you have already learned the importance of position in poker you realize that the best is to act last after flop, you might think that the one who act first can raise first and scare everyone out but that is not true, of course that at micro levels payers would love to play out of the position just because acting first gives them strength to raise, with those players at the beginning before you know anything about their habits it is best to fold your hand if you didn't connect with the flop at all, but during that time pay attention and take notes how big he raised and what board that was, players sometimes think that they have obligation to c-bet no madder what but they wary their bet sizes, good thing about micros is that most of the times jou dont have to be the one who need to pay money to see someones hand there always be players willing to do that instead you, your job is to pay attention and take notes. when you see some patern it is ok to reraise c-bet even if you have miss the flop if you have both overcards one pair draw but stay alerted if you get reraised you need to reconsider what is going on but the c-bet no madder what kind a guy will most of the time fold to a raise. if you were bettor before the flop and you are in position and the action is checked to you it is ok to c-bet no madder if you it or not hit the flop, because you'll want to represent strength, good thing about micros it that you will rarely face check-raise move so the most of the time youll either get called or they'll fold. Be carefull if you are in a multiway pot after the flop if you have missed the flop there are good chances that someone else did so dont be to crazy with bluffs specially on later streets of you get called again and again, slow it down... If you have follow the preflop hand range you would save yourelf from making decisions like is my kicker good enough, does he have a top pair even if you do and you start thinking because you dont have enough info, it is better to fold that no contionue. if you flop top pair top kicker and there is possible draw on the board, bet in the way to not give your opponents good odds to call, with that betting when they call bigger that they should you won money longterm because they'll miss more often than they'll hit, and you want drawing opponents to call you often, this part is also good explained in little green.
On the other hand if you are drawing, make sure that you only draw to the nuts, any other draw can make you loose money even if you hit, dont call draws without good
pot odds you are loosing money that way, the exception tho this is when you know that your opponent wont let go his top pair no madder so if you hit you'll win even more money than it is ok to call, but dont call huge overbets or allins and justify that with implied odds, NO!!! the good way to play draws is with more players involved in the hand, that way you'll get good odds easier, donf go crazy with the pocket pairs, especially if the bord is filled with overcards, dont keep betting and paying your top pair if there is the 4 cards of same suit or possible flush or straight, dont put a lot of your money if you flopped bottom straight,, etc etc
Im so confused now, i dont know is this make any sense now...
Feel free to ask and correct me if im wrong, this is a good way for me too to learn and firx some mistakes
