Decent Flops
Wednesday, May 6th, 2009Decent poker flops are flops that give you a good hand at the casino , but need some work. A good flop will yield you top pair, medium pair with a good kicker, two pair, and similar hands. All decent hands, but they aren’t sure things just yet. Say you’ve got 10-5 on the big blind, nobody raises, and you check. . The flop comes out Ace-10-5 with no flush draw. You’re looking at a pretty good poker hand. The over card should give you pause, but if no one bets against you, there’s a good chance for you to win the hand. All you have to do is apply a little pressure to the rest of the table and make them fold. With a big enough raise, you should be able to get anyone with a single pair out of the hand, and hopefully you’ll scare out any potential suck outs. The same thing happens when you flop top pair. If you have King-Jack unsuited and the flop comes out King-3-9, you’re doing pretty well. It’s a good idea to come out betting in this case, but if there’s an aggressive player to your left, a check-raise would probably be more effective in scaring other players out of the pot.
