Default Re: 2/4 - Turn raise a donk bet

The only problem with this line is you are disregarding all the 54o,54s,94s,95s,j5s,j4s, and 78d he may have called in the BB plus possible weirdly or over played AA,QQ, A9d that you have seeable outs against.

As played with the MP2 already calling a bet on the turn then there is only 1 reason to raise the turn - for value.

I usually whimp out and call from the turn down precisely because I don't want to be three bet as I am a showdown monkey - especially when multi-tabling.

Basically your line is on the basis that he won't 3 bet the turn with worse than top two pair.

A donk 3 bet like this from a reasonable player means you are behind but you still have enough outs against enough of his BB range to get to the river and I hate folding in Big Pots - particularly when I am the one who has pummped them up.
