Why would you bet the flop when button will c-bet 100% of his range?

Dont donk any street if its gonna get c-bet anyways!


OP, I think I c/r the flop. You have 6 outs vs an overpair and AK, AQ is 32 combos so a big part of his range.

[lqd78]

if he stats off. he's not letting go till the end. if we donk . and he dont hit turn. he very much might fold.

And he wont fold the turn when Hero c/r'es the flop?

You are missing the point sir.

This means if Hero donks he might fold overcards on the turn right?

Do you even agree with yourself now?
Is he folding or not?

Donking this flop is a mistake due to the extremely simple fact that button will bet it for you with 100% probability. The only time you should ever donk this flop is when you intend to bet/3-bet


In this hand a c/r is MUCH MUCH better than a donk because it will also face the third guy with calling two bets.

[lqd78]

with overcards we call down.
in case of reraise in case of c/r? we fold?
or your action on turn? lead? and get raised?
