Protecting a Hand - Poker Strategy

One of the ways that poker palyers lose chips even when the cards are good is to fail to protect their hands. Good flops do not always stand up well when tested by the turn and river cards. See how ourHero protects his hand in this game of limit holdem.

im srry. im a fucking retard. i just spent 20 minutes of my time writing almost 2 paragraphs on why that was a bad play. but he is playing limit holdem.he played it awesome. if that was no limit it would be different but its not. srry for my above comment i started to write. i ride the small bus

h ecould bet pot on the flop

I dont like how you played that hand at all.

[drewdonham]

i was not impressed at all with ur play im afraid. To not reraise preflop to get the crap hands out is dumb in my opinion. someone could have been in there with an ace 5 and taken alot of money from u. Also i guess that because i play alot of poker i noticed some things about larrys moves. he was the raiser preflop and he bet into 5 ppl after the flop. so i think u can

You should do a strategy vid for a good hand in late position, where everybody checks to you.. I had that kind of situations!

I think the check at the end was a mistake, because it showes weakness. In addition, for the aggressive player would be harder to raise when there is a bet from us (and we showed that we have strong cards with the check-raise) but with this check it's easier for him to bet and we don't want the pot to be very big, because we don't have a really strong hand.

Yes works excellent thanks I did this and the guy went all in and I won all... any negative comment try this you will be amazed because it gets your opponents to bet and you will win with good cards. Thank you for the video your defiantly a pro. sometime when i have AA and i bet a lot people fold but now they bet and that means i win 99% if the time....

Ak it would be best not to get into a raging preflop rage with these cards because you will need to hit an ace or a king besides if there are too many players on the table that has raised preflop chances are they've already have a pocket pair so u played it right.i dont know what beg0r is talking about he probably is just a noob himself

simonjeste, he was the SB.

It appears you are playing $3/$6 Limit Holdem. No prob there (except its not NL, lol). Some realism is missing here because you control everything in the situation from hole cards to betting. In my opinion/experience, your reasoning didn't cover the many other ways this pot coulda been played. However, i won't criticize further because i realize you're trying to help newbies learn the basics of the game + 500 chars. max...

PS: Where did you get this software?

What was his position pre-flop? Sounds like the pot was $30 at the flop, 10 bets, and with 5 seeing the flop that means maybe that he was UTG and his preflop raise was simply called by everyone... Hard for him to re-raise himself ;)
