The minraise froma 20/10 seems very strange. Minraise from a donk generally scares me and sets off my AA/KK bells but I'm not sure about from a 20/10 (though preflop stats cannot indicate that he is a solid player). I actually dont mind how this hand was played.

c/c is the line I take on the flop, in general. I cant see donking into him on the turn and betting the river is no good because AK just got there. c/r the flop doesnt seem good as AA/KK call/push and most hands you beat are gonna fold (aside from maybe TT/JJ, though they may fold as well).

I tend to think that the min raise here is a pocket pair or some other hand looking to hit big and to build a big pot from this type of player. I really doubt it is a big hand.

With this initial assumption in mind, how do you play the hand postflop?

Reraise PF. It really depends on the player but this guy is getting reraised. If I just called I would probably play the same as OP.

This is fine. Reraising PF is definitely a viable option, but without seeing him minreraise before, I'd proceed with a bit of caution. If the river is a brick I'd value bet for sure.

Is the K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] a brick for you?

Phresh · #8 06-26-2007, 12:57 AM

No. Not many worse hands will call a river bet there and he can have AK. I'd probably check-fold the river here.

Without reads this is played fine.

I'd c/f river if he made a significant bet.

I play it same with no reads
