TERMINOLOGY
DOG – Abbreviated form of ‘underdog’, i.e. the predicted loser of a hand based on probability

KEY POINTS
If you were the pre-flop raiser, hit a big flop and your opponent checks to you, you should almost always bet. This line of play gives a lot more credibility to your continuation bets and reduces the probability that he will suck out on you
If your opponent bets into you, your next move will depend on your opponent’s characteristics. If he is passive, you should just call, otherwise you could lose him. If he is aggressive you may want to raise, as he may perceive you are on a bluff and attempt a re-bluff

How you play any hand after the flop depends on a few key factors, like your position, who the aggressor was before the flop, how aggressive your opponent(s) is, whether the pot is multi-way, how big your hand is, and the texture of the board.
