A Common Situation - A series of donks

[wildzer0]

A lot of us make a decent profit from players who call raises OOP, donk the flop small and then fold to a raise. I usually don't need a specific read to raise the small donk w/ ATC unless the board's particularly bad or a raise will leave me committed (opponent is shortstacked). Here's a situation that comes up from time to time though that gives me a little trouble, here's a hypthetical hand.

Villain is 30/12/1.5 over a small sample (so fairly unreliable). He did make a small donk and fold in a similar situation 2 orbits ago.

Hero (Button) 100bb
Villain (BB) 100bb

Hero open raises 4xbb w/ A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], BB calls

Flop: J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (Pot: 8bb)
BB bets 1bb, Hero raises to 8bb, BB calls

Turn: 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (Pot 24bb)
BB bets 4bb, Hero?

Assume for sake of argument that hero calls

River: 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
BB bets 4bb, Hero?

i fold turn

If you call turn then calling river is a must.


Turn is tricky, some vilians actually valuebet like this and some play draw like this, so there is really not much to do than to either raise turn as well and see what happens ... or call down.

End hand by making appropriate note.

PT stats do unfortunately not give you the necesarry read.

If villain makes a larger turn bet I fold. With those bet sizes I probably call down on this draw heavy board. He could be betting lots of draws or he could have it. But it's hard to fold to such small bets compared to the pot without a lot better read. Also, as Gelford said if you call the turn there is no way you can fold the river when that 2 comes.
