TAG likes to donk bet

Absolution · #1 09-13-2007, 07:59 AM

It's been a frustrating table. I keep getting donk bet by long shot hands that end up getting there on the river. This guy is TAG pre-flop, but the 2 pots we were involved in were in the blinds and he donk bet into me both times after I 3-bet him pre-flop. Both times I took a passively line knowing he was drawing thin or had nothing, but he got there on the river both times (once he was betting a weaker A high on a low board and ended up tying.) So, he's probably a little tight pre-flop and funny post-flop. The BB is a loose passive and why I'm sitting.

If it was HU I would just call and let him barrel of with his 3 outer or 5 outer.

EDIT: prolly raising the turn if he calls down light

Meh, I agree this is a standard raise, but if we assume he's TAG doesn't his range contain way more J's than 9 T / Q 9 / suited type hands especially given the raise UTG? I guess he could be donking weaker pairs too like 7 7 . . .

That's what I was thinking as well. These seems like a good opportunity for him to bet/3-bet me given my running bad against donk bets. I think he does do this with a lot more than top pair though for the same reason.

To me he sound like he is TAG pf, but married to his hands post?
What is his wtsd, if its high I drive my hands hard cause I reckon I`ll get there with a profit more often then not-remeber Sklansky bucks and Jman bucks
