The most important trick for limited betting Texas Hold'em is to know clearly what cards are worth betting and how to bet. To determine which cards are worth betting, the following factors are usually considered:

Is the gambling table loose or tight?

How many players are there at the gambling table?

How many players enter the game before you place your bet?

Is anyone raising the bet before you? If so, where is the player raising and what kind of player belongs to?

What position are you in this round of game?

Loose or tightened gambling table

Only 2-3 players are betting before a tight gambling table, and after the hanging card, these players are prone to fold. At very tight tables, you rarely see river cards because most players fold before seeing them. If you encounter such a gambling table, even if you are an expert player, there is no reason to continue playing. If you have no choice, then your trump card must be very good before you can enter the game. Generally speaking, at this kind of gambling table, only 15%-20% of the trump card is worth your bet.

On the contrary, multiple people usually place bets in front of a loose gambling table, and most players do not fold easily after the gambling card. This kind of gambling table is what you most want to see and are most likely to win. At this kind of gambling table, your requirements for trump cards can be relatively relaxed, but you still have to be selective. Generally speaking, at this kind of gambling table, 30% of trump cards are worth your bet.

How many players enter the game

If multiple people enter the game, many trump cards that require reimbursement are worth your bet, such as 76s or small pairs, because this kind of trump cards is profitable only when the player has a large total bet in the colorful pool. If there are only 6 players or fewer on the betting table, there is a huge increase in the chances of winning money with only one big card. At this time, even A and a small card such as 6 or 7 are worth your bet. In a 10-person game, if the trump cards such as AT, KT, and QT enter the game, it is easy to become a trap card, because this trump cards are too small, which usually forms a second-best card, which makes you unwilling to fold, and you will feel sad, want to stop, and get deeper and deeper.

The more players enter the game, the larger the total bet of the lottery pool, the better the probability of the total bet, and the better the profit. For example, if more than six players enter the game before hanging cards, the trump card such as 76s, 33 is worth your bet, because the total bet is large and worth your bet with a very small proportion of bets. If only 2-3 players enter the game, 76s and 33 are not worth your bet at all, because your bet amount is relative to the total bet amount.It accounts for too much proportion, and your chances of winning are relatively small.

Someone raises before you

If someone raises before hanging cards, you need a good hand of trump card to call. If the trump card is not very good, but many players call, the total bet is large. At this time, you can also consider calling to enter the game because the profit of the lottery pool is very large. Normally, if you are in the middle position and someone raises the bet in front, if your trump card is AJ or KQ, it is best to fold 2 instead of calling, because in the above situations, this trump card is easy to form a trap card. But if you are in the back position and the trump card is JTs and there are more than four players in front of you who have raised, you can consider calling or raising again, hoping that you can get a flush or straight to win a big pool.

Your position in the game

Your position in the game is based on the position of the button as a reference. On the 10-person gambling table, the two positions next to the left of the button are small blinds and big blinds. The three positions on the left of the big blinds belong to the front position, the three positions behind belong to the median position, and the first position on the right of the button belong to the back position (note that some players calculate the small blinds and big blinds in the back position, because these two positions bet the last bet before the hanging card. However, after the hanging card, the small blinds and big blinds bet first bet and become the front position. The position we refer to here mainly refers to the position before the hanging card, so the small blinds and big blinds can be counted as the back position). The first position on the left of the big blind is called the muzzle position, which is the worst position before the hanging card. Because the player sitting in this position is the first bet, because there is no information from other players, it is most likely to make mistakes. When you are in the second position at once, be careful and carefully choose the trump card worthy of your bet. For example, when you are in the muzzle position, the AT is usually given up instead of calling, but if you are in front of the button position and no one calls, the AT becomes a trump card that can be raised.

The best position in the game is the button position. When you sit in this position, you can get the most information about other players before you bet, such as how many players enter the game, whether someone raises and raises, whether the opponent's trump card is a big card or a make up card, which provides you with a sufficient reference for betting. Therefore, the button position is the position with the greatest chance of winning money.

Trab Card

The most common mistake many players make is that when they are in the front position, their trump card is any two big cards or as long as there is an A, they will call, and even if someone raises, they will still call. This is the biggest mistake a Texas Hold'em player can make, because these cards can easily turn into trap cards. What exactly is a trap card? Trap cards refer to the trump card that is most likely to be a good hand (that is, this hand is always a little worse than the best one). Once there is one of the hanging cards in this trump card, it is easy to drag you into it and throw a lot of bets in vain. The most common trap cards are AT, AJ, KQ, KJ, KT, QJ, QT, many players will call when they get these trump cards, and when they are in the middle and back positions, they will not only call but also raise.

If you are in the front position and the trump card is KJ, you call, the player raises the later, and you call again. In this case, you can easily fall into the trap set by KQs, AK, AJs, AA, KK and QQ for you (because if there is a K or a J in the common card, you will have trouble). Usually when you are in the front position, the players will raise only when the cards are AA, KK, QQ, JJ, AQ and AK. These strong cards will be raised. If your cards are KJ and raise them, it is obvious that the possibility of losing against the above strong cards is much greater than the possibility of winning. However, trap cards can again become money winning cards in certain situations. For example, if you are in the back position and no one is betting in front, the above trap cards will become a raise at this time. This shows that during the Texas Hold'em game, your position is very important to what kind of trump card you choose to bet and how to bet. We will further discuss the importance of position in the future.
