Q: Do I need any hand at all here to raise profitable?

Re: 200.6 They be donking the turn
 

i see a set almsot evry time a villain with solid stats like that takes this line

Re: 200.6 They be donking the turn
 

I actually think a call is more profitable because if he does infact have some weak pair or 56 you can bluff the river

Re: 200.6 They be donking the turn
 

i dunno, i dont think calling is the best play. if we think villain's range is mostly small pairs and straight draws we shold push now because he folds all those, and the times he does call with his set or TT or whatever we have at least 7 outs, often 9, and up to 12 outs.

but i my experience solid villains usually have a monster when they take this line, and i think folding &gt; shoving &gt; calling.
not too sure whats best between pushing and folding though... curious to see what other people's read on this situation is.

push uhuh?
fold here. youve 9outs

Re: 200.6 They be donking the turn
 

im not saying pushing is good. im just saying pushing is proabbly better than calling.

Re: 200.6 They be donking the turn
 

Wtf I played a hand today where I have 44 on EXACTLY the same board from the BB vs a preflop raise, this is scary.

Re: 200.6 They be donking the turn
 

I don't like raising here. I'd prefer a call, his turn donk seems like strength to me.
