Poker Lesson 39 BadPosition,DecentCards_cn

扑克课程: 位置差，牌好Bad Position, Decent Cards 作者: Howard Lederer In the middle and later stages of tournaments, there are often times when you're forced to make a pretty big commitment on a relatively weak holding. These are uncomfortable spots because you never want to risk a large percentage of your chips with a mediocre hand. Things get even more difficult when you're playing from the blinds and out of position. 在锦标赛的中场和后半场阶段，你被迫以一把相对较差的牌投进相当一大部分的筹码是很平常的。这是很不舒服的境况，因为你从来不希望冒风险用中等牌投进大部分的筹码。当你在盲注位置和不利位置打牌时情况甚至会变得更加糟糕。 For example, say you're playing late in a tournament. The blinds are $500 and $1,000, and there's a $100 ante. You're in the small blind with $18,000. It's folded around to the button, an aggressive player who raises frequently in late position. He has $30,000 in his stack and he raises to $3,500. You look at your cards and see Ad-9s. 举个例子，假设你在一场锦标赛的后期打牌。盲注分别是$500和$1000，并且有$100的汤钱。你在小盲注上有$18000。大家一圈都丢牌，直到庄家（一位在后位频繁加注的进攻型的对手）。他有$30000的筹码，加注到$3500。你看到你的牌有方片A和黑桃9。 You know that A-9 isn't a great hand, but you can't ignore it in this situation. First off, given your opponent's history, he may very well be raising with a hand that is far worse than yours. In fact, in this spot, he could very well have two rags. Another consideration is that there are a lot of chips in play. Between the blinds, antes, and your opponent's raise, you stand to pick up over $5,000 in chips if you can take down this pot, which would be a nice addition to your short stack. 你知道A-9并不是一把很好的牌，但是在这种情况下你不能忽视它。首先，假设你对手的过去，他很可能会用一把比你的牌差很多的牌加注。事实上，在此时，他很可能有两张垃圾牌。另外要考虑的是这局中有很多筹码。盲注、汤钱以及你对手的加注加起来，你有机会获得多于$5000的筹码，如果你能拿下这个彩池，那将会让你增加不错的筹码。 So, you're probably going to want to play this hand. But what's the best action? 所以，你可能会想打这局牌。但是最好的行动是什么呢？ At first, it might seem that calling is a reasonable course, as it would keep you from getting overly committed on this marginal hand. But calling has some pretty big downsides （不利面）. With a hand like A-9, you're usually not going to like the flop very much. In fact, you'll fail to make as much as a pair about two-thirds of the time. If you do flop a pair of 9s, how are you going to proceed if the flop also has an over card? Even on an Ace-high flop, you'll have a tough time knowing if your hand is good. 首先，似乎跟注是合理的做法，因为它能阻止你用一把边缘牌投进过多的筹码。但是跟注有相当大的不利面。用一把像A-9的牌，你通常不怎么喜欢翻牌。事实上，约2/3的可能你不会凑成一对。如果你翻牌出一对9，如果翻牌也有一张比9大的牌你应该怎么继续打牌呢？即使翻牌时最大牌是A，你也会很难知道你的牌是否是大的。 What's more, if you miss the flop completely, you leave yourself vulnerable to being outplayed. It's going to be very hard to bet if the flop contains three cards that don't help your hand. If you check, your opponent will likely make a continuation bet, and you'll be hard-pressed to continue, even though Ace-high might be good. 还有，如果你完全错过了翻牌，你很可能处在一个容易被攻击的地位，可能会被玩出局。如果翻牌的三张牌不能帮助你，押注就会变得非常困难。如果你过牌，你的对手可能会惯性押注，你继续下去的压力会很大，即使你大牌A可能是好牌。 In spots like this, your best move is to press an edge while you have it - before the flop. Re-raise all-in pre-flop. Your opponent probably won't have a hand that he can call with and, if he does, you'll have plenty of outs. You still have about a 25% chance against AK, for example. Not good, but not dead. 在这种情况下，你最好的行动是当你有优势的时候（在翻牌前）强化利用。翻牌前再加注全入。你的对手可能没有一把他能跟进的牌，如果他有，你也会有很多出路。举例说你依然有约25%的机会赢AK。不算好，但不会没有机会。 The important thing to keep in mind is that, in the later stages of a tournament, you don't want to make many decisions after the flop when you have a medium-strength hand like Ace-middle kicker or middle pocket pair, and you're playing out of position. Put your chips in while you think you have the best of it, and hope for the best. If you let these marginal but good situations pass you by, you might regret it later when your stack has been whittled down消减 even further. 要记住的重要的事情是，在一场锦标赛的后期，当你有中等大小牌像A带中间大的踢脚牌或中间底牌对，并且你在不利位置上时，你不必在翻牌后作出很多决定。当你认为你有最好牌，并且希望保持最好时压上所有筹码。如果你错过这些边缘性的但是好的情况，你可能会在你的筹码被进一步砍下之后后悔。
