The real question here is whether he's checkraising the turn vs you with a wide enough range of air/draws to balance the cr with QQ. If so then it doesn't matter if you fold anything less than a 5, you loose either way. If not then it's obviously a bad move.

I think so too

Stack a donk line I've used on soooo many tags and it is a very good play.

Can you please explain the basics of the "Stack-a-donk" line.

Do you only bet the turn with a five or better?

Hi everyone. I just wanted to introduce myself. I am a new poster to the small stakes forum. I have spent the last week or so backreading most of the main sticky and the current threads.

As to the current thread, can someone please post a link to the original El D/Strassa thread? I have searched the forums in vain for it. Thanks in advance.

I wrote about this a couple of days ago, but stack-a-donk is not that good for small stakes IMO.

Against bad players it looks really strong, and most decent players aren't floating that much, so that they then wouldn't make the adjustment of bet/calling with top-pair when it looks like they are floating.

A lot of ass players and some good players who are either on tilt or think their opponent is laggro or are into making a mistake will call the stack-a-donk CR with 1010 or AJ here. I personally hate how he played the hand and I think this is a reasonably point. Still, I think this is a results orientated, semi-brag, "Holy [censored], I hit quads" post.

the point that merits discussion more here, bilbo, is your lame turn bet. every time i have an overpair/AJ/etc here and a TAGish player 1/2pots the turn, i know i'm beat. too many of you guys go all donkish when you get the absolute or near nuts. you got lucky that he didn't see through your valuebet and stacked himself.

[/ QUOTE ]

Since I make this bet with a steal, too, or a flush draw, that's perfectly fine.

You're saying he folds to this but will call or C/R if I bet $40? That's very illogical.

Keep folding overpairs to 1/2 pot turn bets, please.

a turn C/R is fine here.

If he leads, what worse hand can you call with?

[/ QUOTE ]

AJ is the only one I can think of.

I don't think I call with a flush draw, either.
