He raises (as he should with his entire opening range) to $15, and the player on the button, small blind, and the big blind call. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Playing the Flop<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The Pot: $60<br>The Flop: T<span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">\u2665<\/span>-2\u2660-5<span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">\u2665<\/span><br>Effective Stack: $485<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\">Flop Analysis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">When you see 4-way action on the flop, you typically want to be betting a little bit less frequently than you normally would in a heads-up pot. This is because it&#8217;s more likely that someone has something with equity that will be continuing very often. With that said, a nice small-stakes cash game exploit is to <a href=\"http:\/\/pokercoaching.com\/blog\/your-continuation-bets-suck\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">continuation bet &#8216;too&#8217; often<\/a>. When people don&#8217;t check-raise often enough, it allows you to bet more often. So, on this board going for value with lots of top-pair type hands is great, as is betting with hands that can turn reasonable equity, like QJ or KJ. <br><br>Jaman goes with the $35 bet, which is great, and only the player on the button calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Playing the Turn<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>The Pot:<\/strong> $120<br><strong>The Turn:<\/strong> (T<span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">\u2665<\/span>-2\u2660-5<span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">\u2665<\/span>) \u20133<span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">\u2665<\/span> <br><b>E<\/b>ffective Stack: $450<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Turn Analysis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The turn brings the (T<span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">\u2665<\/span>-2\u2660-5<span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">\u2665<\/span>) \u20133<span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">\u2665<\/span>, bringing in a ton of the possible draws.<br><br>After you bet the flop and the opponent continues, they have to have some sort of <a href=\"http:\/\/pokercoaching.com\/blog\/poker-hands\/\" title=\"Poker Hand Rankings &amp; The Best Texas Hold\u2019em Hands\">made hand<\/a> or draw. On the 3h, a lot of the draws come in, making your jack-ten a marginal-made hand. It&#8217;s not a premium hand that wants to play for all of the money, so checking in spots like this is great. If your player is extremely straightforward, going for a small turn bet for value and protection is reasonable as well, but the standard play here is certainly to check. <br><br>Jaman checks and the player on the button check back, taking us to the river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Playing the River<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>The Pot:<\/strong> $120<br><strong>The Turn:<\/strong> (T<span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">\u2665<\/span>-2\u2660-5<span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">\u2665<\/span>\u20133<span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">\u2665<\/span> ) \u2013 2<span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">\u2666<\/span><br><strong>Effective Stack: <\/strong>$450<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">River Analysis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The river brings the (T<span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">\u2665<\/span>-2\u2660-5<span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">\u2665<\/span>\u20133<span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">\u2665<\/span> ) \u2013 2<span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">\u2666<\/span> giving Jaman 2 reasonable options with his top pair, marginal kicker. In spots like this, you can either check (looking to induce a bluff and check-call a bet) or you can go for a thin value bet, looking to fold to a raise. <br><br>When you go for a bet, you typically want to bet small so that hands like 77, T9,T8, A5 will call, so betting something like $40-$50 seems ideal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Jaman bets $75 and immediately gets raised to $150. Although he&#8217;s getting great <a href=\"http:\/\/pokercoaching.com\/blog\/pot-odds-in-poker\/\" title=\"Calculating Pot Odds in Poker \u2013 What Is the Best Way?\">pot odds<\/a> here, especially in small stakes live games, people just do not bluff enough.

He ends up folding, and his opponent shows him the A\u2665 -4\u2665 for a flush, giving him confirmation of a good fold and another data point that in small-stakes live cash games, people simply do not raise the river very often as a bluff.
