NL200 - JJ Against a Donk
 

Villain is the 43/5 donk I've been trying to stack since sitting down. I hated this hand. Anyone play it different aside from a bigger raise on the flop? I couldnt see raising the turn as every draw hit.

I'd raise more on the flop on such a drawy board against a weak player who is liable to call a lot. Turn is brutal but I'd probably bet if he checked, so I'll raise after he bet 2, but won't be super excited about it. This guy almost surely isn't folding 2 pair here, and could have something like KJ with a club or whatever that he will also give you more money with almost for sure.

Yeh - bigger raise on flop.

Villains turn bet is sooo donky. I think its his version of a blocker. I would be raising him to 2/3 the pot here. If he comes over the top then I would think about folding. It depends on his Aggro factor and how he plays draws. If he the type to raise 1/2 pot on a draw??? Have you seen how he has played draws previously???

I raise more on the flop. Hand is hard to comment on after the small raise on the flop. As played sometimes i pop the turn to 50(won't be putting more money in unless board pairs)as a way to hopefully get a cheap showdown on river.
