Yeah I like a call down here. I'm likely folding to a 5 or 6 on the river.

It's an odd time for a donkbet (well, except for the fact that the board just paired, which I guess makes it, like, obligatory), because it's not as if you're folding Ax or an overpair.

However, Villain may have just caught me with a hand I actually will fold. But I haven't played limit on Stars yet.

Easy fold imo. Calling down with K high in a small pot is not where you make profit. If his donk is a bluff you made him happy and you should try to get a read on his donks.

Against an unknown this is an easy fold for me, expecting him to have at least A-high. Weak?

By the way, I'm working my way back, post-ban.

This is from tonight:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

CO ($14.50)
Button ($18.55)
SB ($19.70)
BB ($25)
Hero ($35.10)
UTG+1 ($42)
MP1 ($20.75)
MP2 ($11.90)
MP3 ($30.75)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $1</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, CO calls $1, Button calls $1, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>.

Flop: ($3.35) K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $2</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to $4</font>, Button folds, Hero calls $2.

Turn: ($11.35) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets $9.5 (All-In)</font>, Hero calls $9.50.

River: ($30.35) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: $30.35

Results:
Hero has Ks Kc (full house, kings full of jacks).
CO has 7h 8h (one pair, jacks).
Outcome: Hero wins $30.35.


I was going to play limit 5/10 6-max, but I couldn't find a decent table at 5 a.m., and I decided the hell with it.

i eject on the turn here. The quick flop call combined with the turn donk i think means our K high is no good. However, it could be a flush draw trying to fold out A or K high. It could also be a straight draw too, which means he's also likely holding an ace. But I think villain should be afraid of pairs calling or raising the turn if he has the flush or non-ace straight draw. So even though there stands some chance he's semibluffing with a worse hand, I still think it's better to fold.
