Default Re: Sklansky\'s Hand (Two black hooks)

I donk the river to gain a bet from nonpaired aces and any smaller pocket pairs. Also, I think he will rarely raise any queen, and will often not raise KK and AA.

Is this villian a decent hand reader (his stats and his playing 50/100 seemed to imply that he is)? If so, I think this statement has to be wrong. He has to know that you don't have an eight since you raised UTG and peeled a 3Q5 flop. You don't peel here with any hand that has an 8 that gets raised UTG do you? Therefore, your river bet on the paired eight shouldn't really change anything that he would raise since it smells so much like bullsh!t. AA KK or AQ should have a pretty easy raise if he is thinking about your range.

I don't think he bluff raises enough to call a raise but I agree with others that he is usually betting pairs although I don't know how many he can have that you beat since he 3 bet before the flop and there are two eights up. That leaves TT, 99, and maybe 77/66 although I don't know if he 3 bets those.
