he is raising your flop donk with a wide range of hands, possibly any 2 cards.

That's what I thought, too.

If you think that, then this is fine. My qualm with it is that he is going to be less likely to raise a person who has only shown down AA and is playing tights flop donk.

That range is way too tight. Guys like these raise total [censored] here all the time, their impulsive and sometimes stupid. But they know when they're beat.

I don't understand why you keep coming back to this.

I'm going to bet when clubs hit, and c/f when they don't. I already made my decision.

You think their raise/calling range is wider than that? His raising range might be, but I don't think his raise/calling range is.

Thinking about your opponents range is more important....

But I don't know my opponent...

I CAN'T make a BIG mistake on a club turn (unless it pairs the board, I guess). At worst, I can make a marginal mistake.

Surely you think I'm up against an opponent who can fold to a big turn bet on an apparent blank 25% of the time?

Well, I think most of the time he will call the flop light given your line but fold to a turn bet a lot.

If my straight draw gets better, I suppose I could make a mistake with that, but I'll probably move with that, as well, giving me 8 non-pairing clubs + 6 open ender/double gutter outs + 4 nut straights to work with.

Perhaps it might be better to try for a freebie, with some of the straight draws?

*Note: The 25% number was thinking only clubs.

What do you suggest? Larger flop re-raise? Move on more turns? Fold PF?
