4. River Pot-Limit Texas Holdem Strategy

Once you have made it to the river, how should we be betting and gambling at this stage of the poker hand? This is where knowing your opponents and other poker players at the poker table is absolutely crucial if you want to increase the size of your custom poker chip set whilst minimising hits to your custom poker chip stack.

If you have been betting a strong starting poker hand like an Ace-King and have not been lucky enough to spike any of the relevant cards, what do you do? We suggest that if you only have one opponent at this stage in the poker hand, you should check and then call a raise if he/she uses his/her custom poker chip stack to make such a move. Against any more than one poker opponent, you should check and then fold if you want to avoid a massive dent to your custom poker chip set.

If you have a marginal holding, a poker hand which gives you something but not necessarily the nuts, what should you do with your custom poker chip set? Now it really comes down to your poker opponent. Does this poker player usually bet and gamble all the way to the river with anything less than the stone cold nuts? This is the critical question you should be asking yourself if you value your custom poker chip set. If you have noticed that the poker player only gets to the river if he is going to turn over a winner and claim the custom poker chip pot for himself, you should check and then fold to his raise.

Obviously if you believe you have a strong holding, preferably the nuts, you must make the bet with your custom poker chip set. This is also an advisable move if you have consistently been betting on a draw throughout this poker hand. Say you miss it on the river, it is probably worth putting down another bet with your custom poker chip set as your opponent may be on a draw too and it will put him off! As you know your poker opponent cannot put his entire custom poker chip stack into the middle of the poker table, you can continue to show strength in this poker hand if you think you can knock the other poker player out of the poker hand on the river.
