[02$NL - FR] TT vs. Donk Bets

[DannieUke]

At the lowest levels, do you treat donkish min bets with some authority? Frankly, they scare me more than pushes. If I didn't hit the flop, and some guy clobbers my preflop raise on a multiway pot with a 2¢ bet, I can't help but think he paired...

All rounds are here -- including the end, 'cuz I think it's a no brainer to call the river. But would like your thoughts on the other rounds which I hate...

This is standard. Such tiny bets give you a great chance to suck out soo... ;D

Yeah these little min-bets bother me too. Just don't do what I did last night, RAISE THAT [censored] UP! Thinking his min-bet meant a weak hand (it didn't), and that I could induce a fold (no way). Granted I had a read after that.

I should have done just what you did, called the 2cents. 1BB to win 29BBs, yeah I'll do that. If nothing else you get to see what cards they are playing and improve your reads.

same that i would do on the river, with a second best hand and a donk bet, i would just call the 1BB and see what he had.

i do it with other stuff like low made flushes on a four flush board or double paired boards where it is likely i dont have the best hand but call the little bets to see what they had just in case.

this is fine. Don't bother betting/raising and milking a pot on any street. NOBODY is folding an Ace.
