Anyone?

Fold and get him next time. After his donk bet of .50 and then his miniraise wants a call. You will find a better spot against a guy like this for sure.

I hate these [censored].

[monkeymaps]

fold. this is always 2pair/set/st8. min bet/min raise is always a hand that is better than middle pair.

[bozzer]

i usually think 'call' in case he's pushing a good FD, but to be honest most shorties don't know to shove their good draws (they just call and see a turn).

[2mb]

I fold here. I think he makes this donk minbet with the intention to get raised. I think I play this the same (raising the flop) but I can also see a point in calling the flop and reevaluate on the turn, it's unlikely he does this with a FD.

[Spurious]

Clear fold for me. He got two pair at least. You are WB here.

[Chomp]

Yeah, hero gets out.

This tiny donk is garbage 95% of the time, so we can decide to raise/draw/whatever, depending on our own hand/equity/whatever.

But the other 5% of the time the mindonk is a good hand, as is the case here.

Also I fugging HATE paying off these wankers who call every raise with TJ. IMO absolutely the most annoying way to lose money to a donk is when they have TJ in spots like this.

[Triggerle]

You nailed it, Chomp.

I figured I have to put in $14 more to win a pot of $44 so I need to win about a third of the time to make this profitable. Now that I thought about it I guess I'm not good that often.

I swear to God Trig, this hand happened 5 minutes after I posted in this thread:
