Re: Raise/call river donk with set?
[ QUOTE ]
PF: 55 is not a raising hand. I'll play it for one on the button (or in a raised pot if it's going to be 5 handed or more). 55 is good for set value, and the odd time it makes a low straight. Not worth much more than that. Call only.

Pfft. It was a passive table and I raised OTB to isolate the donk with 50% VPIP. If memory serves, with 55 you either want a lot of players, or heads up. I chose not to play it against 3-4 players and I got exactly what I wanted and was ahead until the 8-outer on the river.
According to Poker Stove, 55 vs. 50% and 2 random hands has only 27% equity preflop and it certainly next to impossible to play unless a set flops. Heads up vs 50% 55 has 53% equity and it relatively simple to play against a donk.
