Thought process during a hand (basic flowchart):

[runout_mick]

I originally posted this in the beginner's forum awhile ago:


I made this flowchart while teaching my girlfriend to play to help illustrate some of the things that she should be thinking about in a hand. Every time she had an action, I made her decide (any street) whether her hand was likely currently best or not based on the information she had available, and then use that answer to proceed through the flow chart. I allowed no "maybe" answers.

With all the recent posts on basic concepts like bet sizing and flop texture, I thought it might help to put this out there:






Hope this helps.
