Strategy tips for Texas Hold'em
You can bet with just an ace or two minor overcards on the flop, but you should
fold if someone raises your bet in that situation. If someone bets before you on
the flop you can call with two overcards, but fold them at the turn unless your
hand improves then. You can call with two major overcards (ie A-J) if someone
raises your bet on the flop. You can also check-call a bet on the turn with that
kind of hand, unless the board looks threatening.
A small pair with an overcard kicker is a strong hand that you can (cold) call a
raise with on the flop. Though, you should probably fold it on the next round if
it was raised on the flop and you haven't improved the hand and someone bets
before you.
If everyone checks on the flop you can bet on the turn even if you have nothing.
Your opponents will often fold in such a situation, unless they are too many or
too loose.
You can sometimes bluff-bet if the flop contains an ace . Your opponents will
often fold in such a situation if they don't have any pairs or an open ended
straight, because it's impossible for them to have any overcards when the flop
contains an ace. Please note that this will only work if your opponents aren't
too many or too loose.
If someone suddenly bets into you or raises , and you are considering folding,
be sure to first look at the amount of chips that the player has in front of
him. If he is out of chips it's likely that he is bluff raising/betting because
he knows he will go all-in on that hand anyway.
