20/40 river?

Not that raising this flop is necessarily a bad play, but doing it to be "in command" is a bit misguided. Sometimes it's +EV to be in command, sometimes it isn't. There's nothing inherently good about the driver's seat--don't fall for the macho headgames.

I think my default here, depending on read and recent history, would be to call the flop and raise a blank turn, but I'm sure it's fine to mix in some flop raises, too.

I'm not sure I like the flop raise either. It's hard for me to imagine enough hands that a guy with his stats would be donking into us that we beat. Donking MP worse kicker here just doesn't seem like a play with any merit, nor does donking a draw.

In addition, there's only one other player in the pot, so we don't do that much for our chances of winning the pot by raising this.

As for your turn raise idea, I'd like that more if we had a shot at folding some better hands. Our A kicker kind of makes the idea of folding anything moot.

I'd check river for sure.

Dane,
Why only a blank turn?
