Also, I think it makes the hand a lot easier to play and gives us more information.

this isnt good thinking

why is it easier to play? because you're telling your opponents what u have early in the action so u can understand their actions better

actually i am not even sure what you are saying here.

[gehrig]

leaking information can make ur decisions easier but it doesnt earn u money

[secret.asian.man]

easier decisions = higher frequency of making the correct decision = earning money

[gehrig]

no bc ur opponents have easier decisions as well

take it to the extreme

if your cards are face up all your decisions will be much easier than when your cards are face down

[milesdyson]

The difference is that you've interrupted the action before they've had a chance to make their plays. Your donkbet changes everything after you make it. This is where you leak information. When you check, you leak none, and your opponent's first action is made without additional information. The only question is if the money you make by more frequently making the correct decision because you leaked info by donking is going to outweigh the money you lost by leaking it.

Obviously if you know your opponent sees your cards, you'll have pretty easy decisions and you won't earn very much money.

if your cards are faceup your decisions aren't easy.

[milesdyson]

That's true really, but the point is that you just can't win with your cards face up.

[secret.asian.man]

yeah, how are decisions easy w/ your cards face up? It would be easy if your opponents didn't know you knew your cards were face up i suppose...

[Victor]

if he donks flops with some regularity and with hands of differing strength then his hand is not face up.

i could be way off here but it seems there are plenty of situations, ie flop textures, where its better not to mindlessly cbet.

if i am neverwin i think i would check this flop with air bc it seems to hit the range of a ton of playable hands. his chance of taking it down with a flop is very low and his chance of getting cred is very high. it may better to check even ak here (dunno)
