quick line check vs ex tourney donk

[philipsaurus]

full tilt 10/20. i normally dont play this high, but there is a huge fish in the game. this hand is probably standard.

villain is colson10. i dont know if he plays cash games regularly (since i dont play 10/20), but i know that he used to own donkaments. he is running 24/18/veryaggressive over about 50 hands.


2700 effective stacks. folds to colson in the sb. he raises to 70. i call with AJs.

flop is J53r. he bets like 125. i call pretty quickly.

turn is a 9 that puts out a flush draw, not mine. he bets like 275. i call.

river 5, no flush. he bets 650 or something. i fold?

[luckychewy]

i wouldn't fold the riv against a donkament guy.

Your hand is too good not to call river or even raise somewhere postflop (or pre....)

I think the river is the thinnest part of the hand, but i agree.

[DLizzle]

I'd probably raise preflop, if not I'd probably raise the flop, if not I might raise the turn but calling might be better, and river I call and get pissed when he shows J9.

[luckychewy]

w/ the extra $700 raising anywhere post flop makes it too awkward imo.

[DLizzle]

ya i guess it does make it fairly awkward, calling is good postflop, but I like a raise preflop for sure. I still might raise the flop.

[philipsaurus]

i sometimes reraise pf, but like luckychewy said, the stacks make it a tad bit awkward post flop.

on the river, do you guys think he is value betting worst hands? and if not, how often is this a bluff. my hand is practically face up.

[aejones]

Yes, I think he can have the same hand/ or be value betting KJ here. Maybe even QJ. In my experience blind vs blind battles get very thin with marginal hands, specifically since I'm playing a lot of hands.

How about 3-betting preflop? I think calling down is expert.
