Once...Twice....Three times a donkey?
 

Villian's stats are very fishy: 43/0/1.3. Don't have a real specific read other than I've noticed him along for the ride in a lot of pots

Not sure if I've ever had someone donk me 3 times before and wanted to see if others would have played this the same as me. Would especially love to see what people would do on the river.

Might as well raise again. This guy looks stupid enough to call plenty of times with a worse hand.

Re: Once...Twice....Three times a donkey?
 

If he's "along for the ride" most of the time and now he's betting, he probably has a pretty good hand! Hope he shows you 84 for the counterfeited 2 pair [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

A VPIP of 43 and AF of 1.3 doesn't sound like someone that is a long for the ride a lot.

The triple donk indicates he has something. Whether that something is K8, 34, flush, 89, 22 or what I'm not sure without a read on what he has donked with before. Without a read I think I call and then take good notes.

Re: Once...Twice....Three times a donkey?
 

Without a read beyond his stats, I think I'm going to call on the river after a third donk. The flop and turn raises I think are fine, you certainly have the equity, but by the river, I'm starting to get worried he has trips, the flush, or a set. He may also have two-pair, but without a read, I can't be too sure. Call and hope for the best.

Re: Once...Twice....Three times a donkey?
 

I would have called the turn and river bet.

Its possible that SB was donking the turn, when a scare card that paired the board and made 3 cards to a flush fell.

However, its also possible that SB made the flush, and raising will cost you more to see a showdown.

Generally speaking, I think that players are more likely to have a strong hand when they bet as opposed to call.

Anyway the K overcard would not stop me from calling on the river, if you were concerned about that. I think its unlikely that the K would have improved your opponents hand.

Re: Once...Twice....Three times a donkey?
 

What the heck do you donk bet 3 times with and don't re-raise? Some people just amaze me.

Have you seen this guy bluff a lot at pots before? Or bet out small holdings vs a PFR? I'm thinking I'm just calling the river donk. I'm guessing he has some of the flop, real question is how little. K, flush or 3 all beat you. I'm hoping he's betting an 8 or Ace of clubs/8.

That turn card sucks in a few different ways.

Are you calling down or folding to a 3-bet on this turn?

Re: Once...Twice....Three times a donkey?

I would not have raised my opponent's turn bet. I would have called down instead.

If I had raised my opponent's turn bet, then I would have folded to a 3-bet.
