Adjusting to donks in the blinds?
What adjustments do you make when it's folded to you in co/button and the blinds are 100BB deep donks with VP$IP 50-60 and obv. very seldom folds to steals and c-bets?
It feels like I'm throwing away money when I raise with hands like SC. Often I will miss the flop, c-bet, get called and I will have to give up on the turn. edit: VP$IP was maybe little too high, lets say >40. |

I open alot less, and also i might start openlimping some hands, even on the button.

Re: Adjusting to donks in the blinds?
Depending on the texture of the board I very often keep betting through the turn after the flop CB on a miss. This type of donk typically sticks around on the CB with any pair or a gutshot, but give up a lot of crap draws and low pairs to another bet.
Also, depending on how often you steal against a normal pair of blinds you cut down on your stealing here a little bit - usually don't want to enter this spot with too much garbage depending on your donk. |

Keep raising so you're playing lots of pots in position against fish. C-bet less, valuebet more.

I almost never make double barrels against this calling stations. But When I think about it, this kind of players may be the ones do it against because they have a crappy hand more often. But of course this also depends on board texture. On a board like A72r I doubt double barrleing is good. But on a board like T83r they can have overcards and gutshot which they will fold. |

if i have a flush draw, i almost always double barrel vs a calling station. They tend to call lots of flops fold turns, when they call turn they are callin river so it makes for a nice psb when you hit your flush.
