Pre-Flop Betting

[lvpoker]

There are so many things to consider when sitting at a poker table and pre-flop betting should be on the top of your list. In my opinon it is best to play a few tight hands to see if your opponets are tight players or loose players. In the article below there are a few great tips for pre-flop play.

Before you start betting like a madman when you get two eights in the pocket, you need to carefully consider all factors involved in solid pre-flop strategy.

The factors to consider are the number of players, how aggressive/passive the players at the table are, your bankroll, your position, and how much risk you are willing to entail.

Number of players: With 10 people in the game, it's much more likely that someone else has a strong hand in the pocket than in a short-handed game. Also, you'll need to be more cautious in larger games, as the chances of someone's pre-flop hand fitting the flop will be much better. More competition means stiffer competition
