Okay, I think this hand is pretty interesting because of the table dynamics.

First, here's the hand itself:

Stack Sizes
UTG: $2425.10
Hero (MP): $1596.20
CO: $1352.60
BTN: $2752.35
SB: $692.75
BB: $787

Preflop: A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($9, 6 players)
UTG raises to $18, Hero raises to $74, CO calls $74, BTN folds, SB folds, BB folds, UTG calls $56

Flop: 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($231, 3 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $150, CO raises to $425

FWIW, CO thought for a while before raising, his 15 second warning went off.

UTG is one of the worst players I've seen since Party, he's 60/40 3.0!, will call any amount of pre flop action with any two cards, will try to make horrible bluffs with any two, etc. He has also been running sick hot, building a $3k stack at one point.

The table consists of 4 regulars and the uberdonk. There is a tremendous amount of preflop cold calling going on with everyone trying to hit a hand, because of the stack sizes and spewing going on by the donk. This includes ALOT of cold calling of 3 bets with cards that can make a big hand.

CO is a regular, running about 25/18 3.0. We have not tangled at the table so far, the pots we've been in have been pretty straight forward. I don't have a great read on him yet, but I get the feeling he is probably a little tighter than 25/18 because of the amount of cold calling going on, he is certainly steamed at the donk, and has a solid understanding of the hands he can play pre flop because of the huge implied odds. In short: I believe his range to call my 3bet is pretty damn wide because he KNOWS the donk is calling 100% of the time.

CO knows I'm multitabling, and sees me as a 22/16 TAG. If he is paying attention, I suspect he knows that I'm a thinking player based on my play against donk. I have been cold calling the donk alot for implieds, and 3 betting for value with stronger hands. I have not been trying to get fancy, I am trying to stack donk 200bb+ deep.

Also, just for fun, here are a couple hands to show you the quality of the donkey:
