50NL- AK, TP, against some donk

[ajml]

Villain is like 42/16/4 over 400 hands... I think you can imagine how he got his chips... What's your turn play, then more importantly plan on the river

Has he been floating ? If he does, then I might just call him down.

That AF is very high for someone that loose. Shove.

[Nogatsira]

Oe, I hate spots like this against 40/16/4 dudes.
I'd probably call the turn and try a blockbet on the river.

Make sure to take note on what he had with his smallish reraise on the turn. Next time you'll profit from it, so basically you're paying for information (in case you're behind)

Fiksdal, why shove ? Do you think he is betting a weaker hand here or semibluffing ? Why not try to see showdown as cheap as possible ? Villain will only call a shove with hands that have us beat.

[ajml]

You're right, a 4 AF is REALLY high for playing that many hands.

Also, retarded fact that I noticed when I looked this guy up in PT (I didn't know during the hand obviously). His Button stats are 38/6 with a win in this position stat of 6.7%, wtf

[qwertyui9]

I'd flat call his turn bet and base my action on the river card and opponents river aggression. I think raising the turn folds out a lot of possible bluffing hands.

If a safe card looking card comes off I check to induce a bluff, or block bet a scary card.

I think you see 2 pair a lot as well as a lot of spade draws and straight draws. I don't like folding, but it's hard to advocate a 3-bet here. I think I call and let him bluff the river since the stacks are sorta deep and you don't want to make this pot any bigger. If he shoves the river you have a decision.

I think I like this line... I didnt really know what to do so I decided I didn't want to make the pot any bigger and called. I checked a river Th planning on calling a bet but he checked and showed JTo....

[Check_The_Nuts]

I'd probably call and check/call. Thats my form of pot control against a maniac.

Sometimes these guys slow down after their up a few buyins so be careful.
