Default Re: AM I A Donkey?

Check the turn to keep the pot small since your kicker is only a four. In addition, this will often convince any 7, 3, or pocket pair that they can bet the river for value (call these bets instead of raising them, since you will also get them from TPTK+ hands that were trying for a check-raise on the turn). Other than that, it looks fine.

EDIT: I didn't notice that you were opening the betting preflop. Unless you have a specific reason not to, raise if you are the first to act preflop and have a hand that you have decided to play. As for what AJ said, I wouldn't fold this unless the button is so loose that you are sure you will be out of position postflop. I have no problem calling a single raise in position with this preflop if I have position.
