ok look... theres no definitive way on how to play it... for example... at SBR poker tourny (for noobs), if early on when blinds are still 10/20, and some noob raise like 5x bb to like 100, i would shove and 99% he will make the call. If its later on when the blinds are still considerable, (avrging 20bb ea player) u would check around for different players that still has to act after you. If they're tight, call. If they're loose/donks, raise 2.5-3x bb. if u got the tightest pussy on bb, where not many ppl acts after you and no raisers, u call and hope he hits top pair or something. When it happens, if i see say a Q 9 5 or a K 8 6 on the flop, i will assume he hit top pair and raise little under half pot... if he calls on the turn make a raise just above half pot. If he calls to the river, depending on ur read, make 55%-75% pot to all in on him. If he has top pair, he might call. If he makes 2 pair, tough luck u just got sucked out... lol its all depends on situations
point to keep in mind... try to get the most money in possible preflop, and as much as you can post flop if there's no pairs on board, or 2 to a straight. You can make a bigger bet on the flop when u see something like Js Ts 2d (spade diamond) chances are your opponents wants to draw to a flush or a straight so u will bet bigger to make them call... chances are they're not hitting it but dont give them good odds to hit and and bust u
