In the game of No-Limit Hold'em, betting there are four streets, each street has different characteristics from those of others. Because of these different characteristics, its objectives with the bet sizing change dramatically from street to street. Here we will look at the main objectives that should be deciding how much to bet in the four streets of betting.

Pre-flop you should be concerned with two things only. The first is the position, which is always important, because your hands always get more value in the position, so you can play more of them if you're out of position. The second thing is what the boat will be in relationship failure with other chips. This is important since pre-flop is planning on hand to try to get a lot of money with the best hand. If the flop boat will be $ 10 when the batteries are $ 1000, which will give much more play and offer you and your opponent more room for errors that flop if the pot is $ 5 and the batteries are $ 200.

Upon entering the flop, planning is also important, but not enough pre-flop betting on the street. Sizing your bet on the flop will depend on how you want to plan the rest of the hand (basically, if you want the rest of the cells to enter or not) and if your opponent is likely that the design and the need to deny what the right odds to call and hit his hand drawing a flush or straight or otherwise.

Meanwhile, planning issues, even less than the failure because there is only one card left. Now you are more concerned about value go hand in hand if you think is best, or trying to get cheap confrontation if you have a decent hand, but not sure where you stand against your opponent. With one card left, still must be concerned to deny his opponent the right odds to call with drawing hands.

In the river, there is nothing more to plan and fails to defend itself. The river is all about obtain the value of hands if you are a leader in the betting. And sometimes should not bet at all, if your opponent is likely to Bluff in the pot, especially if a large number Miss Flame. This makes the betting line betting on the flop, bets the turn, then check / calling the river very profitable if there is a lot of draws on the flop and turn are lost in the river and your opponent is aggressive.
