5NL, 55 set on A high board, villain exhibits classic donk strat

TheSauce · #1 03-30-2007, 02:00 AM

was only my 5th or 6th hand at table. My question is does anyone lay this down at these stakes? I had the right read, villain used the CLASSIC, donk reraise pf then immediately donk the flop. Red flags were going off everywhere. I absolutely made the read that he had aces yet i still raised flop and still called the push that i knew was coming. I was not happy about my call, but does he show up with AK or 2 pair often enough to call this? I was 99% sure he had aces but woulda felt worse had i folded to a worse hand. Any thoughts on this? I know i should of followed my read, but his action angered me to the point that i called. Guess that's why they keep doing it... it worked on me like a charm lol. At the very least, maybe this will alert others to this common donk play. I mean sometimes there like "so bad, they're good" you know? lol [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
