Rivered flush, stack-a-donk raise or shove?
 

Do not remember much about villain. I have been running 15/12 at this table, so I decided to pop it pf w/ 65s in the CO.

I would make it $50

I think you probably get paid an extra $36 but i think people can fold a 10 to an all in here.

Ya I wouldn't push here, I like to put a raise in and make it about $50 also.

Ditto.... $50 sounds about right...

My 2c,

ps what did you do?

Re: Rivered flush, stack-a-donk raise or shove?
 

~$50 sounds about right to me. On a side-note how on this hand would we figure exactly what ratio of times he calls a shove vs. calls $50 bet to get to the break-even point between the two. I don't know if I worded that right b/c it sounds confusing even as I read it. Nonetheless, if someone can handle that do so, it's something I've been meaning to find out for awhile concerning whether to push or just bet/raise for value on river bets.

Re: Rivered flush, stack-a-donk raise or shove?
 

If we shove villain needs to call an additional $76. If we raise to $50 he would need to call an extra $36.

Basically the river calculation would the amount he has to call multiplied by the % of the time he will call each bet.

He would have to call a $50 raise about 2 times more often than a shove for the EV of raising to = shoving.

Example...

EV of raise to $50 = $36 * .5 = $18

EV of shove = $76 * .25 = $19

I hope this clears it up for ya...

fyi this has nothing to do with the stack-a-donk

i too like the raise to about $50

hes not implying that this is a stack a donk, hes saying stack a donk raise, ie massive overbet to get him to call with a ten or 2 pair.


id rather go for a value raise here. the only have i feel is calling a big raise is a ten and we lose too much value because he might be scared of it.
