Default I used to have top pair

Villain is Lilholdem, and this came up from a $100 freezeout. The BB is sitting out, which always complicates things. I was afraid he'd shove any Ace if I 3-bet him, since it would look like a resteal. Not a ton of history with Chad, but we've played enough that he knows I'm at least a decent regular.

Seems like a c/c. He is good enough fold an ace on this river and he can show up here with air enough. I'm not crazy over the flop donk.

Sorry I posted this incorrectly, river is a little interesting but I'm more curious what you think I should do on this turn.

As for flop donk, I led for the same reason I didn't want to 3-bet him, which is that I thought it would look like a steal and hopefully provoke an aggressive more.

I like the line, also mix up some CR's on the flop since that flop could hit him well enough to pay off.

River i c/c, i don't see a worse hand paying off.

I also like the title.

I like the flop donk a lot more on a rainbow board since I think he is a lot more likely to do stupid stuff back at you. That being said I think it is fine against lilholdem from my limited experience playing with him. I like c/c the turn because it is such a good spot for him to bluff with all of his floats.

I agree.. especially with what I've heard about lilholdem and the fact that BB's sitting out. Just seems like the a great spot to set up a widish bet/3-bet.

Does anybody 3 bet preflop?

And if I'm 3 betting Im calling a push because of who the villain is and his potential to shove light over 3 bets.
