Poker Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.
Practice Matters
In the above example, when facing a noted CBB
In the above example, when facing a noted CBB who has open raised UTG and now continuation bet, calling with an under pair and gutshot is reasonable. Against most opponents though, you'd typically want to dump this hand since they shouldn't be betting this board unless they have a good hand or really good draw.
Not only can your hand be best
Not only can your hand be best but being in position you also have some option to turn your hand into a bluff if say the Ah or Kh comes on the turn and your opponent continues to bet. Taking careful note and finding opponent who will bet unimproved on draw heavy or "wet boards" is a helpful note to have to maximize every hand’s expected value.
