I just started playing this game, and doing pretty well at it. I dont play the top bet called " trips or better". I only play the ante and blind bet where you can back it up with 1X to 4 X your bet.
The other day I was backing it up with 4X my original bet on any pocket pair of 9 or higher or anything where I have to big cards suited like k and ace of clubs. Even 4x sometimes if they arent suited.
I also go 2X after the flop if I have a pair ( one in my hand and 1 on the board ) assuming I dont have bottome pair with a crap kicker.
So I was doing this the other day and got killed, but I have always done it that way and won pretty good. Just dont have enough playing time at this game to know whether I have been getting lucky or if last time was just a bad day.
I notice the others at the table tell me I am playing bad backing up with 4x on even pocket Jacks, too easy to lose it they say.
I also notice that some players wont back it up until all 5 community cards are shown no matter what they have, whcih I know is bad strategy. But I also know maybe my strategy needs some improvement.
So when do you guys back it up, do you also wait until the end ?
When should I go 4 X ? Only on pocket ace ?
Let me know please because I have only played this game maybe 7-8 times.
TIA
