Er, do you want to raise?

Re: donked into on top pairing river with BP
 

fold is best imo. curious what others think

I think raising is probably better than calling though. he can't have a Q here

Fold is best. Every draw got there on the turn and he'd have to be retarded to play an A like this. I'd also just call down from the flop.

Yeah, this is a bad spot to get aggro with a very weak made hand.

Re: donked into on top pairing river with BP
 

I call the flop more often than not vs LAGs and let them barrel off

my reason for raising was that villain sat down recently and I wanted to establish that I am raising a wide range of made hands. I felt this would give more credibility to my flop raises which would let me pick up pots with bluff and semibluffs

Re: donked into on top pairing river with BP
 

that he c/c a 7 or 9 on the flop and then decided to bet the river?

I don't know his play looks fishy to me and I think I look him up. I guess folding is best but I'm a SD monkey and I don't like folding to LAG donks on river cards that obviously didn't hit their hands. I also probably don't raise the flop and just call down barring really bad turns or rivers.

Re: donked into on top pairing river with BP
 

villain is a competent player, so what range of hands can we put him on that get to the river on this board?

he can have 7x, 5x, some 9x, small PPs, turned overcard+straight draw, turned FD

it should be pretty obvious that I have a hand here. the turn improved most semibluffing hands. I don't think that he would bluff into a probable made hand in these aggressive shorthanded games where everyone shows down super light

with the Q pairing he has to like his weaker pairs more

yeah i agree, I think folding is best if he really isn't competent and won't be running a stupid bluff against me. Just last night on an AP 5/10 table I had a dumb LAG b/c with AT on a J652J board (J paired on the river I raised with 77). However the difference is I wouldn't call the guy in my hand necessarily competent. In such a small pot you probably should fold, I just hate folding to weird plays from LAGs in BvB.

As we discussed earlier, I don't think bottom pair/crap kicker is a hand that will give our raises 'credibility' - in fact it is likely to do the exact opposite.

I tried making a video today. but i played it back and

1. the sound was quiet (this i can fix by adjusting line in volume)
2. the sound is choppy
3. the sound is not playing at the correct time, which gets worse as the video gets longer





can you just give your CamStudio settings??????????????????????

eh I won 90BB today playing 39/32 over 350 hands (ATSB of 56) so Oink was right. my sample size gives a lot of weight to my argument. imo.

You guys are all liars; nobody folds here.

I thought we went over this a few times

rule #1. Oink is right

rule #2. When in doubt go to rule # 1. If you forgot rule #1 just call

BACK ON TOPIC PPL camon

no of course I did not fold here because I am a good SD monkey, but I really do think it is a fold vs a reasonable player

the problem is that most of us just see 50/30 and say unreasonable player. But as we all know you can play way too LAG pf and still play well post. I guess if I had 60 hands on this guy I would call. If I had a ton of hands and didn't see him getting out of line often than folding is the best play, but like you I probably don't do it at the table. However, if I have ever folded to his river donks before in this session I think you have to call here.

Re: donked into on top pairing river with BP
 

raising is terrible unless your image is extra nitty, imo. It is very rare that a decent lag will give up on a pair when he's taken a somewhat suspicous line.

I have never folded a pair in this spot, mostly bc I sometimes donk a busted draw or mediocre ace when I'm in villain's spot and assume many decent players do as well. I muck weak A-hi or worse here usually.

pizzle,
I am 40/30 when filtered for 3-5 players (AP=4.7). Not much of a stretch to imagine somebody decent could VPIP another 10%, particularly if they coolcall a lot of stuff that's close from SB (A2s, K9o, Q8s, JTo, T8s, etc).

oh I totally agree. My point is that most people that see OP and make a response are used to 6max stats, and even at 5max see 50/30 and think oh this guy is unreasonable postflop. It is a somewhat snap reaction that probably tilts the view point on our assessment of a villains play at the table.

I think folding here is ok if this is the first time you have done so, and this player is entirely reasonable. If you have folded to donks before to this player, or you have seen them get out of line you really need to call.

and as many of us have said several times I wouldn't raise the flop.

Re: donked into on top pairing river with BP
 

Grunching.. I fold here. As long as your are raising your good hands on this flop I see no harm in folding this river.
