In this casinogamesadda article we are going to continue talking about some of the most suitable strategies to play the Post-Flop position .

After describing some of the available actions in this previous article , today we continue to talk about another couple of interesting alternatives that will help you improve your game in said position.

In any case, if you have not yet had contact with the previous note, we recommend that you take a look at it before proceeding to read the current one. This will help you to have a more complete idea of ​​all the actions you can take to play the Post-Flop playing position intelligently.

If you have already done so, then you can continue reading the following paragraphs, in which you will be able to learn more information that will help you improve your game after the flop.

Increase continuation bets

Just as it is possible to float against an opponent who might be continuation betting, you can also mix up your game and bet on the flop . In this case, the assumption we must make is that we are bluffing, hoping that our opponent will fold.

Having position allows you to read if your opponent is making a continuation bet based on your bet size and the texture of the flop . With this information you can better refine your next bet.

Increased test stakes

You can also use the power of position against a player betting from the blinds . A player in that position who manages to catch something on the flop will most likely either call a raise with low pair or make a small bet to see how the rest of the players respond.

In this case, position provides the ability to give them the categorical answer by betting aggressively. This play is even more effective if you originally raised before the flop, as you still represent a strong hand.

Conclusions

The only way to improve your skills as a poker player in post-flop positions is to trust your instincts and put yourself in situations where you can use the position to your advantage.

Once you’ve successfully made plays using your position (and not relying on the strength of your cards), your confidence will grow and your ability to outplay opponents will skyrocket.

In fact we have the example of Annette Obrestad , a Norwegian player who won a live tournament without looking at her cards , placing bets only taking into account her position and that of her rivals.

Finally, if you are still not totally convinced to apply these strategies using real money, we recommend that you try to do so by playing freeroll poker tournaments .
