Default My name is donkey and I am gonna get this flush.

I will try to explain before this discussion gets too far off course. Villains attempt to steal is over 30. He raised the button, it means he pretty much has air on this board and I can only snap off a cbet with a c/r. Leading for pot does not guarantee much either. So I decide to play a donkey in hopes he will raise me with air.

I am chasing a flush draw in this scenario. My plan is to c/c the flop, check the turn hoping that he will go for a second barrel, pray that a heart does not fall and if it does not push river as a bluff and hoping that he has some pair by that time to call me with.

Full Tilt Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.25/$0.50 Blinds - 6 Players - (LegoPoker Hand History Converter)

Hero (SB): $54.00
BB: $51.80
UTG: $92.30
MP: $69.90
CO: $62.20
BTN: $69.35

Reads: <font color="blue">Villain is 30/15/3 datamined, probably a regular. We have no history. I am new to the table.</font>

Preflop: Hero is dealt 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (6 Players)
UTG calls $0.50, 2 folds, <font color="red">BTN raises to $3.00</font>, Hero calls $2.75, 2 folds

Flop: ($7) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">Hero bets $3.75</font>, <font color="red">BTN raises to $14.00</font>, Hero calls $10.25

Turn: ($35) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players)
Hero checks, BTN checks

River: ($35) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">Hero bets all-in for $37.00</font>

Who is for a $9 bet on the turn?

i think u missed alot of value on the turn , im pretty sure villain has AK/KQ or whatever bet 20 on the turn,,,and if u bet 3.75 repping a FD u could have pushed flop and he would have called AK/KQ or w/e

I'm guessing you're expecting him to bet the turn. But this villian prob has suited connectors in his range. Maybe a OESD or FD, so why not shove on the flop.

He raised you already showing you that he likes his hand, so shove and let him call if he's chasing, or maybe let him stack off with AK if he is a true micro donk, and if it's set over set what can you do.

You have thoroughly confused the masses.

Why do you think Hero (aka villain) would call the flop raise with air? He certainly has a pocket pair at worst.

Also, if you're going to do this, at least make their hand XX, hard not to be results oriented and tell you to bet the turn to price yourself in staring at a set. However, given that villain is playing that set so slow, he might just call anyway. Does a $9 bet fold anything out ever?

Why are we wanting him to fold, we have a set on the flop. This is micro this guy could have QK, AK, suited connectors, any PP. If he has set over set are you going to fold that on the flop. Why not reraise the flop instead of letting him possibly draw out on you.
