Default Re: Draw hands and position

The answers are ok [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
But in the first example you can check or bet if he checks, and raise, check or fold if he calls.
In the second you can only check or bet. If you bet and get raised you're in limbo and when you hit do you bet or check-raise?
I'm trying to show that your decisions with a drawing hand in position are easier because you have the information from his flop action and you can close the betting. When you act first he has these advantages. I hope someone can come up with a better example or explanation.
In big bet games position is a huge advantage (not just with drawing hands, but they benefit to the extent that a lot of flush draws in position would be unprofitable out of position).
If you are playing full ring NLH microstakes (just a guess) with players who do not take advantage of good position and are relatively passive, you can play draws in poor position thanks to their bad play.
