Flop interpretations
I was thinking about something. The situation is this: you raise preflop with let's say AQo, and the flop comes and misses you completely. Now we take two situations:
a) the preflop caller was a rather tight player
b) the preflop caller was a ather loose player
Occassionally I'll want to take the pot by c-betting, but I never really take into accoutn what kind of flops are better to do this with, which is definately a leak.. which is why I want to talk about that here.
If a tight player calls, I'm assuming he either has a big hand or a pp looking to set up. Should we be more likely to cbet against them to punish their set hunting?
A loose player on the other hand could have a very wide range, including crap like J7o etc. How does this change our tendency to cbet against them? (because no matter what the flop comes, they can hit it)
There are ofcourse many different kinds of flops, but I'll try to take some typical ones:
1) one high card.. example: K72r
=> good idea to cbet here to rep the K?
2) two high cards.. example: KJ2r
=> not that good idea to cbet here because it's more likely to have hit your opponent's high card?
3) common flop with all rags.. 943r
=> this one most likely missed both (although could have hit the loose player's crappy range), so if we bet we rep the rather unlikely overpair? Is it a good idea to cbet here or not?
2-tone flop:
All of the above can also be a flop with 2 of a flush.. this increases the likelyhood the flop "hit" our opponent giving him a flush draw right? So less likely to cbet then?
paired flop:
1) KK4
2) K44
3) 388
How do these flops change our cbetting behavior? They are more likely to have missed both of us.. making it a better idea for us to cbet or not?
Thoughts?
