Default Re: 100nl: I get really confused when ppl donk into me

You're giving your opponent too much credit.

a) Not all villains will in fact fold their draws when they're getting incorrect odds to do so. As a poker player who makes money when opponents make mistakes, we need to try to give opponents as many chances as possible to make big mistakes for big portions of their stack.

b) When he does fold his bad draws, we win the pot right there and don't have to worry about ugly rivers.

c) If his range is sets and (more frequently two pairs), we've still got 8 outs to beat any two pairs with an overpair... which is enough to make our turn raise ALSO a semi-bluff... with fold equity.
