Donkey Tricks
 

SB is playing 49/9/1.13 though 53 hands. My table image is solid - the only two hands I've shown down have been Aces.

Cryptologic - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.50/$1 Blinds - 6 Players - (LegoPoker Hand History Converter)

SB: $224.98
Hero (BB): $260.00
UTG: $38.50
MP: $60.50
CO: $96.50
BTN: $104.40

Preflop: Hero is dealt 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (6 Players)
4 folds, SB calls $0.50, <font color="red">Hero raises to $4.00</font>, SB calls $3.00

Flop: ($8) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 Players)
SB checks, <font color="red">Hero bets $5.50</font>, <font color="red">SB raises to $11.00</font>, Hero???

I see this move so often of these types of boards (e.g. 222, 477 etc.) Am I just supposed to give up every time I have nothing?

Re: Donkey Tricks
 

Against a better opponent, I like a reraise here. But against a 50/9, you often have little FE and get looked up by a mid pocket pair.

Re: Donkey Tricks
 

You got 7 hi....you give up bc he probably has the best had even if the donk doesnt know it.

Re: Donkey Tricks
 

just wait for a better spot imho

Re: Donkey Tricks
 

A fold here is a mistake IMO. He could have ATC.

I would call and use my pos to make a decision on the turn.

Re: Donkey Tricks
 

you are behind ATC.

He doesn't know I have 7 high. I have position in a Bind vs Bind pot against a donk on a scary flop in which I was the preflop aggres.

IMO, this is the type of board a player will bluff raise a c-bet a high % of the time. Call and play the turn.

Re: Donkey Tricks
 

I don't mind a call or raise with maybe AK, but 67 is just too weak here. Plus if he does somehow have a mid pocket pair he isn't folding it, Zeebo theorem.

Re: Donkey Tricks
 

People aren't playing back at you as much as you think they are.

Re: Donkey Tricks
 

Just release the damn hand...man...

Sometimes you just have to.

I dont get the problem here with simply folding?
