Limit Hold'em. How to Increase Stack Size on situs judi
qq ?!
MoneyUnder most circumstances, stack size
matters very little in limit hold’em. You and your opponents typically have
plenty of chips to make it through a hand, and that is all that matters.
Occasionally, though, either your stack size or
your opponent’s will matter a great deal. You need to know not only exactly how
many chips each of you has, but also exactly what to do about it.
• You want to raise an opponent who is almost
all in.
• You are almost all in with a draw.
• You are bluffing an opponent who is almost all
in.
I know you can’t always know the exact number situs judi qq of
chips, and don’t want to stop play to ask the dealer to count down your
opponent’s tiny stack. Nevertheless, you need to eyeball that stack to
determine if he has an exact bet or a fractional bet.
If it is an exact bet, you have no problem. You
simply decide if you want to raise, either to create a side pot or to eliminate
other opponents. If he has a fractional bet, the rules of the cardroom come
into play. Some cardrooms treat all bets of less than a full bet as action
only, meaning you are not allowed to raise them. You can either call or
complete to a full bet. Other cardrooms treat every bet of a half-bet or more
as if it were a full bet. In these places, you can either call the partial bet
or raise an additional full bet. The difference is huge. Let’s look at an
example:
Your going-all-in opponent has $50 left after
the flop in a $20-$40 game. He bets out, and it is your turn. If your casino
allows you to raise partial bets, you might be better off calling the $20 and
letting him bet the remaining $30 on the turn. Then, you can raise to $70 (his
$30 bet plus a $40 raise) to try to get heads up with the all-in player.
Alternatively, if you want to build a side pot, you can raise his $20 flop bet
to $40. Then, if anyone calls, the player going all in will doubtless reraise
his last $10. Then, you can raise again, since the $10 is half a bet, and start
building a side pot. Note that if he has $45 instead of $50, this last idea
will not work. When he goes all in for $5 instead of $10, you will not be
allowed to raise.
If the cardroom does not allow you to raise
partial bets, your options are far more limited. If you call the $20 on the
flop, your opponent will bet his $30 on the turn. Then, all you can do is call
$30 or complete to $40. Under most circumstances, you would not want to make
the play. First, for the extra $10, you give another opponent a chance to raise
you, in case he has an unexpected holding. The extra $10 will not eliminate
anyone, and the side pot it builds if anyone calls will be very small.
