Queen of spades

I'll have more to say about them later, but this is the kind of player that plays their cards pretty straightforward.

Let's go see the flop, which comes down with the Queen of Spades, Ace of Diamonds, and Four of Hearts.

So this is the old nightmare scenario where you got pocket kings you raise it up you get a call and the ace lands right there on the flop so what do you do well guys this is really player dependent but most of the time i still instruct my students to just go ahead and make a standard flop continuation bat like you always do in this situation we always need to remember that two out of every three times On average, our opponent has completely missed the flop, and also, critically, they can have so many worse hands in this situation.

They could have a queen, for example, or they could just have something like pocket nines, pocket sevens, or king-jack for nothing at all.

You raise it up with the king of spades and the queen of clubs and an amateur player calls.

So this is a totally different player type.

this is a recreational player they just play the game for fun they don't take this game seriously like you do they're not watching this video right now they play all sorts of junky trash let's go see the flop now of the 10 of hearts queen of spades and four of hearts so we have nailed top pair with an excellent kicker on this board what should you do well guys you just want to make a strong bet here versus an amateur player on an incredibly draw heavy board like this there is a heart flush draw there are multiple straight draws with a hand like king jack for example or jack nine both of those hands have open-ended straight draws however they decide to call now this is a totally different player types, so I'm not nearly as concerned when I get called on the flop versus this player, because I know this is the kind of player that will call me down with anything.

They will call me with a four.

Let's give you an example.

You're dealt the Ace of Hearts and the Queen of Spades.

In a $1, $2 cash game, I would recommend raising it to four times the big blind.

The big blind here is $2, so times four is $8.

So we now want to continue that aggression on the flop.

because that's going to give them a strong reason to fold their hand right now.

So, for example, you raise it up with the king of diamonds and the queen of spades, and a regular player calls you.

Now, this is a decent player who's watching a video like this, who takes the game seriously like you do.
