One of the wirst feelings in poker online is when you’ve waited all day long for a decent starting poker online hand only to see a huge flop come out and minimize your cards’ worth. After a night of 5-9 off-suits, getting a Jack-Queen suited can make a player feel like he’s won the lottery. That is, until Ace-Ace-5 in the wrong suit comes out on the flop. If you’ve completely missed the flop, try to resist the urge to throw your cards away in disgust, because you’ve still got a chance-the continuation bet is a great way to keep a potentially dead hand alive. When you get a good casino online hand and raise preflop, it makes your opponents assume that you’ve got a hand, be it faces or a pocket pair. Even if you miss the flop, you’re opponents won’t know if you’ve made a set or if you’re just sitting on a pocket pair that beats the board. A good-sized raise to follow up your preflop bet will enforce any assumptions that you’ve got a great hand and may be enough to entice your opponents into folding, which allows you to take down the pot regardless of whether or not you hit the flop.
