Default Re: $11 6 max on stars, what to do against donk?

I'm confused... which player is the donk in this example?

LOL JOJO

Hand 2 - a shove is much better than putting 25% of your stack in against people who have you severely outchipped. Your M is still 9 tho... and you're not horribly desperate yet. So I'd fold probably anything less than A8.

Hand 1 - Crying call. u've probably ran into a set, but u gotta pay it off. don't think he hit the flush unless it's a biggie like KJ or KQ. He could just be bluffing after you didn't follow up on your cbet on the turn, but I think you avoided a check raise on the turn... good job.

Post the resolution please [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Alright guys thank you for the responses, I have been trying to pick up my aggression in tourneys and it mostly has been paying off but I guess I just need a better balance. This is defiently going to help my play, however, I probably wouldn't go so far as calling myself a donk for raising A3o on the button.

For those who are curious, on the first hand villian had A2o, he spiked the second pair on the river. In the second hand villian had J8o
