Fold turn you will see A6/AQ more often than not.

You don't like drawing to the 9 outer against A6?

I would say the min raise by the donk is either a week Ace or a semi-bluff. I would reraise to $40. This donk would maybe think that you are playing KK/JJ and hopefully reshove on you and now you are in a great spot TPTK vs a lower pair or week Ace.

Another way to play this is that if you get the read that the donk is on a weaker Ace is to call the turn and then reraise on the river.

sry dude but this is terrible

Is the reraise the "terrible play" or shoving on the river?
I'm not being confrontational....just want your reasoning. thanks

Ok, i explain this to you, but you gotta trust me on this one: Your reasoning shows obvious flaws in your poker-logic, so if you play this high, start by moving down to NL25/NL50 and post in the microstakes forum for a while. They can help you just as well as we, and the learning will cost you less.

So to the hand in question.

Raising as a semibluff/bluff means that we gain the value from this play because villains folds hands we beat. A semibluff is a bluff with outs, basicly raising a straightdraw/flushdraw, hands we can still win to pot with when called by hands that are better in the moment. "Semibluffing"(which is the wrong term) with TP/TK in pointless. you only fold out hands that you already have beat, and theese are hands that we can get value from by calling. Theese are hands like A8(that might call a bet later on) or a bluff(he might want to continue bluffing). Shutting out theese hands are very very very bad on a dry board like this. There are absoultly no draws we have to charge.

And why would villain put you on jj/kk? Thats just absurd, noone plays jj/kk like that trust me.

And by reading the last part of your post im now sure you are a gimmick account, so FU why did i write this. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Are you saying that on the flop when he bet $8 and is min raised that the min raise isn't a weak Ace? So he calls to the min raise and so the weak Ace thinks he is ahead and fires out 25 on the turn when a rag comes out.

Is calling down here a possible play?

Thank you for the insight as you can see I'm starting out in this poker game.

Im still thinking your a gimmick account. But yeah if you have a hand which you think could be ahead but you arent sure, raising in position is horrible if there arent many draws. So a calldown is the only way to play this hand execpt folding.

But dude, first read all articles and poh-bah posts and then go post in microstakes.

[Sportsrmylife]

what is wrong w/ my question here since these are the stakes that I am playing in?

what is a gimmick account?

Your qustions are to basic noone and youll have a better learning experience discussing with people at your level.

And move down before your broke, srsly

I'll trust you and try NL10/NL25 for a while. Yet you will see me around here as I love the discussion here!

[mertzo]

Ok nice, but plz ask more than you give advice, and mix it up with reading poh-bah posts and youll be fine =)

[Sportsrmylife]

I relooked at my posts and will be on the asking side of things and do more viewing than advising...at this time.

[terp]

i really never fold tptk anymore but i'd dump the turn

[keikiwai]

yuck, fold turn, and make sure to jot down a note, so that you can call if he keeps doing this

flop is too dry to put him on a draw, and action indicates 2p+
