You can bet with just an ace or two minor
overcards on the flop, but
you should
fold if someone raises your bet in that
situation. If someone
bets before you on
the flop you can call with two overcards,
but fold
them at the turn if your hand
improves then. Call with two major
overcards (ie A-J) if someone raises your
bet on the flop. You can also
check-call
a bet on the turn with that kind of hand,
unless the board
looks threatening.
A small pair with an overcard kicker is a
strong hand that you can call
and raise
on the flop. Though, you should probably
fold it on the next
round if it was
raised on the flop and you haven't improved
the hand and
someone bets before you. If
everyone checks on the flop you can bet on
the turn even if you have nothing. Your
opponents will often fold in
such a
situation, unless they are too many or too
loose.
You can sometimes bluff-bet if
the flop contains an ace. Opponents may
often fold in this situation if they don't
have any pairs or an open ended
straight; it's impossible for them to have
any overcards when the flop
contains an
ace. Note that this will only work if your
opponents aren't
too many or too loose.
If someone suddenly bets into you or raises
, and
you are considering folding, first
look at the amount of chips that the
player has in front of him. If he is out of
chips it's likely that he is
bluffing
because he knows he will go all-in on that
hand anyway.
