Hmm, this hand must be pretty lame, well I'm still curious as to what line others would take here. The donk bet is a decent size, I really don't like a flop raise, do you? The turn bet is so weak, plus it's so easy to rep the K I just couldn't resist. Thoughts?

i make it 1.50 or so with the fd out there...remember when youre bluffing, you have it, so you have to play like u do have it

I would raise the flop because you have an OESD plus middle pair so against all 1 pair hands you have max 13 outs + fold equity so raising and calling a shove is ok.

I play at nl10 so don't take my advice though.

I raise the flop, we only have on more street. I think this guy will look you up pretty often here.

I'll be the first to say i like this line.

flop call is fine given our hand and we probably don't fold better than us. the turn bet is a clear sign he wants to get to showdown cheap, although i think this works better if you raise just a bit more. 1.50 is less than pot sized and gets the job done.

disclamer: i dont play nl5 so people may be way to cally to fold Tx here, if not just make the easy call with good odds.

FWIW I don't generally try stuff like this at this level, probably a little too FPS, I really try to keep it ABC.

But this seemed like a good spot to try it for a couple of reasons, Villain didn't show any strong signs of being a super CS post flop, and opponents at this level often call a modest flop bet (whether they are donked into or are calling a cbet) with overcards such as AK, KQ, ect.. so there's no reason for Villain to completely discount the fact that I may in fact hold a K. Probably should have raised more though.

Turns out he had K10, ha, I really believe this may have worked otherwise.
