All looks fine to me, villain held JK or 8J?

What do we know about the villain?

If he's tight or bets a lot i'd say just c/r the flop.

As played depending on what type of villain he is (if he's a bad TAG) then i think you could have extracted more by not donkbetting.

Here you may have saved him money by allowing him to call down w/ KK-JJ.

If he's a station i would have bet closer to the pot on each street.

As played not too bad though.

IF he had KJ he would have raised the river with then nut straight...

Really, either one of those probably gets a raise out of him.

[warwickphil]

Sorry yeah, it's getting late! I'm just assuming, seeing as the hand got posted here. Looks standard to me on all streets though.

[Bastian]

What do we do if he raises river? Call? Fold?

I think it would be better to make more of a blocking bet if we're going to bet the river.

We don't just post losing hands here. Alot of the time we're posting hands to learn how to extract value and so forth, not only how to avoid paying off big hands and [censored]

[cb4mvp]

Oh yeah, and I like your line.

[shoxbb6]

Bet more on the turn.

[orig!naL]

bet more on the flop and turn. I would fold this pf, but hey thats me.

[maciczka]

i will only bet more on turn.

Looks good on all streets -- but bet closer to pot on each of them.

I don't hate a c/r in this btn minbet situation as much as I would in a lot of others. Villain's often bet the flop kinda large whether they have something or not, and they tend to stay in with their big pairs if they mr'ed them.

The closer to under the gun, the more I like the donk; but I never, ever hate the donk out on a wet board. The closer to button for initial raiser the more I like a c/r.
