draw poker guidelines

[chaide]

this post can sounds weird but i cant find anything really interesting about NL 5 draw poker, i would like to know what hand you can regard powerfull

by example suposse you raises with a draw and a player calls you. both of you discard one card then you complete your draw and bet the pot and he goes all-in (about 50 bb) are you calling here with:

a-if you would have trips
b-straight
c-flush

Notice im talking about 52 cards poker . ty

I think I am correct in saying you can play NL draw at www.gamingclubpoker.com. This is a online cardroom based in the Netherlands.

A little site called PokerStars spreads NL Draw with $0.25/$0.50 blinds.

chaide, I don't know how much draw you play but if that's your first question you should read a lot more about strategy... that's the last thing you should be worrying about. IMO he probably made a boat

What was YOUR draw? What do your notes on him say?

You raise pre draw to 1) get more money in the pot 2) limit the field (taking the blinds down is always nice) 3) information as a side benefit

You omitted position on the draw. I’m assuming he acts before you. POSITION MATTERS!!!

OK, he CALLS your raise. Doesn’t re-raise, he calls. 3-way raised pots are very rare, so he’s usually saying “I have something decent but vulnerable, I want to see what YOU draw,” probably 2 good pair or trips (your notes will tell you if he’ll call with just a straight or flush draw).

Post draw tends to be passive unless a hand either improved or was played deceptively (i.e., drawing 1 to trips). Bets (especially OOP) usually mean something.

If he’s tricky (but dumb) he’ll do this move with just unimproved trips reading you for unimproved 2-pair. He’s dumb cause he’s vulnerable, and if he’s tryin to buy the pot but he paid too much for it. (General rule: bigger bets get made on poorer hands for the scare factor. Nut hands WANT the call.) (Exception: he reads you as WT). You may want to call that.

If you assume him typical, then he started with 2 pair, then he’s improved to a boat. You need a great boat to even call (TTT+). Everything less then a boat goes into the muck.

I’d tend to fold this hand without more information (reads, position) for anything less then a very good boat.


Question: Are boats more common then straights and flushed in a raised pot? A raised pot means a starting hand with intrinsic value (2 pair or trips), hands which cannot make a straight or flush.
