Default Re: Crying call on the river?

Reading this thread I think I make the same error as tbe OP - donking out into LAG.

If the pre-flop raiser was not a LAG would you play it the same?

What if there had been no preflop raiser, should you bet out then?

it really doesnt have much of anything to do with him being a lag. when and how u should value bet or raise draws is pretty complicated and I wont try to give an overview cuz i doubt id do a good job, but if ur tendency is to donk ur draws in spots like this uve probably found a leak in ur game. Post some hands where uve done or been tempted to donk a draw.

Well I'm not sure how to measure my donk rate but I know full well I don't donk enough because I hardly ever donk a raised pot that i called into from the blinds. So I fully admit I'm biased against donks to begin with, maybe to my peril.

IMO, (generally) the only good reasons to donk in a multiway is with a PF raising lag on your left with a weak made hand or one on your right with a strong one/huge draw. This hand is a moderate draw given the dirty outs. Ergo donking = bad.

I like your bet on the flop. You want everybody to contribute to the pot and I think a bet does just that. The pot is to big to fold against an unknown player on river. Well played!

Your hand sucks. You don't want 2 or 3 bets going in here. You have a marginal hand in a good size pot.

I'd check and hope it gets checked around.

Betting here is horrible. If the PFR has a pair, he'll raise, and we are charging ourselves double, and shutting everyone else out.

Also, if he just calls, and the turn is a J, and we bet, and he raises, i'm not sure I like my hand that much anymore.

If the flop was T72 rainbow, that's different, you have a very strong draw.

dont fold the river

as i stated in my other post, if we bet, the PFR is going to raise with a pair, and we are therefore losing, and charging our selves more, and shutting the fish drawing dead out of the pot.

If anything, just c/r with your OESD here, OP, that's better than donking. AT least you trap some ppl that way.
