Default Re: The donk logic confuses me (Stuper hand)

why not just limp preflop? if you want to raise, make a substantial raise to 3 or 4 times the big blind. minraising is just idiotic, you're letting the bb in with almost any hand and you have no idea where you stand against any of the callers. i would probably fold here, but your mistake here wasn't on the flop (seeing as that was a tricky situation, and calling or folding could have been argued) but preflop.

Ok, seriously. We've gotten responses in this thread that AJ doesn't play well OOP, that hero shouldn't minraise preflop, and then something about SNG strategy. What the [censored]? Are you people that bad at reading comprehension? How do you expect to make good decisions in the heat of battle if, having the time to read and think about your decisions, you can't even get the preflop action, position, or TYPE OF GAME right? [censored], you should be embarrassed! Don't post if you can't read.

I think reraising preflop is bad. BB obviously likes his hand and other than AT every other hand has us crushed so I think this is a fold.

lol. Considered me embarrased b/c my original response (to call on the flop) was assuming it was a limped pot. I later noticed it was min-raised PF. Given that, I would change my answer to fold on the flop. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Haven't read the rest of the thread but if the guy is a solid player this screams set or 5s to me. Community pot like this could bring flush draws and he wouldn't want them to draw cheap. Could be two pair who want doesn't want to get counterfeited also. This early in the tourney, the pot would be big enough for me to want to just take it down with a solid hand and make sure to make any draws pay to draw out. As for your play, it's har to contiue with the hand without a read or a plan. Much of a raise and you're committed and if you just call you have to be looking for something specific on the turn. If he bets out to any card on the turn you are in the same position again but for more of your stack. If the spade comes next and he checks to you are you going to represent the flush? Hard to do unless you know he is capable of laying down a hand in that situation. If you believe yourself to be the best player at the table, then forget about the 60 you invested and get his chips at a better time. My 2 cents, now I'll go back and read the thread.
