what am i supposed to make of this guy's turn bet? i hate these awkward donk bets when i miss, because i can't call them, i hate to fold to them, and i don't know whether i can raise them or not.

i would fold and find a beter spot agaist a 72/22/1.7
he might have a flush draw or a small pair.
what was the result?

[DaycareInferno]

he had an A6o. shouldn't his wtsd% be higher than that if he calls triple barrels with Ax/air/3rd pair? i'm trying to get better at using these particular stats, but they have been betraying me a little bit so far.

[members_only]

i doubt wtsd stats are that reliable over 50 hands

[Splossy]

If you think you can push him off it then the raise was fine obviously but his stats do look like those of a calling station. I also think the turn bet looks a bit like a push-off rather than a value bet due to it's size.

His turn bet was exactly what it looks like - he hit something very small.

Clearly he's a perfect opponent to simply value bet but not bluff.

My raising you just make the calling station outplay you.
I would fold it.

[DiamondDog]

I'm a noob, but FWIW, your c-bet didn't get him to fold, but it served it's other purpose - it told you the Villain probably had something.

The turn card still leaves you with nothing. Raising him there looks more than a tad spewy IMO.

No point wheeling out the c-bet if you're not going to listen to it when it tries to tell you something.

I'm a noob. I know nothing.

yeah, i hate bluffing calling stations because they don't understand poker and then i lose money when i'm a better player-- you also don't have much of a draw or anything besides 6 outs if he calls so i think i just fold to his donk bet on the turn, no matter how much i hate it b/c i can't find a profitable way to play these players in position by bluffing-- it just never works
