Getting a Free Card

A related idea to that just discussed is when a bet on the flop is likely to get a free card.

It so happens that against typical players, you bet will buy this free card most of the time, providing that you are in a late position.

That is, if you bet and are called, most players will tend to check to you on fourth street.

However, you must worry about being check-raised, which is more a function of the opponents that you are up against than of the cards that appeared on the flop.

In fact, some players are much more likely to check-raise than they are to be out, consequently, as we have stressed many times before, get to know your opponent poker play and watch how they play even when you are out of the pot.
