Taken to valuetown by a donk?

[Borsig]

Vallian is a donk who plays almost every hand but I havn't seen him being the aggressor before. I just really think i am being taken to valuetown on the river but the odds are so good.

Why raise the flop? Def fold river.

i'd call flop, raise turn and fold river as played

[Borsig]

Because it's so draw heavy and i think he has a draw here a lot.

[nextgenneo]

call flop because it keeps it relatively small and could even drag him along for the ride with like TK etc. and then on the turn after that bet it looks really like a FD or something weak. u chop against all worst aces &lt; A9 which were a part of his range and his bet looks like a FD and it will be a smaller pot so raising wont commit u so u can raise to charge draws and fold to a b3b.

thats how i'd play it and then i'd c/ behind river. raising turn will often lead to a free showdown which is nice.

A raise with this hands seems bad.

If you think he's on a draw, your tiny flop raise is giving him great odds.

Especially if you raise him again + pay off when the draw hits. I find when someone donk/calls, donk/calls, and then donks the river, I'm getting milked hard - I probably just call the turn to keep it small.

call flop, fold river but I might call because he will show QJ/87/total BS enough
