Default River donk, anyway your overcalling here?

This table was very limpy. Not uncommon to see a showdown between a K2 UTG player and a 75s button. I don't remember any specific reads at the time. Typically I call a scare card river donk, but I dont like to overcall with third split pair.

Limit: $1/$2

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is Button with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
UTG calls, CO folds, Hero calls, SB calls, BB checks.

Flop: 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (4SB, 4 players)
SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets</font>, SB calls, BB folds, UTG calls.

I've been often suprised how often players donk a third flush card or a second low card on the river, and they almost never seem to have what their donk seems to represent.

First of all I fold preflop. As played I call because it looks like a busted draw and UTG could be stacking off with anything. You'll see A9 or Ax clubs a lot but you'll catch a draw often enough o make the river call profitable.

Wow. Didn't notice myself limping along with J6s here. I just assumed that I was the BB. I would have never posted this had I seen that... I'da been embarrassed actually. In my defense this table was very limpy, so I wasn't too worried about being raised.

yeah preflop is a fold.

On river I fold, we have a pair of Jacks with a bad kicker, on such board not too many hands you beat there, unelss they both somehow have 2 very busted draws,
