yuck

turn = call and re-evaluate river. depending on villian i could fold a lot of river cards.

turn raise is pretty standard in live play, most "turn donks" are draws, but it is read dependant, when im at a game, i always figure out what a "turn donk" means by every player who does it, but with no info im raising 100% of time and folding to a 3 bet at foxwoods, online the pots are usually heads up and players are crazy, so id prolly just let him bluff his chips off

If this bb player is "Fox" then this turn donk is NOT a draw. He has J8 at worse (89 ~5% of the time). Depending on how he views you he may go for a C/R with 2pair (I know he would against me). I call the Turn and fold the River Unimproved.
The J on the River with him still betting puts away the thought that he has 89.
We are beat, but I still call because I play bad.

My experience of turn donks @ FW 10/20 is they are looking for a raise so they can 3-bet. River donks are to possibly get a fold with a mediocre hand or draw that didn't come in...

That said it depends on the player. There are several I would fold to on the turn.

Barring a read, I call turn and re-evaluate on river. In this case I call the river and when I lose, explain how bad I am at poker.

at 20-40+ they are never looking to B3B, so I doubt they are at 10-20 because Foxwoods is just a pool of terrible players at every level who never get better. online everyone is looking to B3B but since everyone knows it u have to figure out what level u/they are on. If it is "Fox" then Id say u prolly are beat but its read dependant.

If u raised the river, this guy would hold his cards up, show his neighbor his str8, and make a crying call.

If villain will ever 3-bet with 2 pair, raising is terrible. If not, quite standard.

Thank you. Most interesting is what type of advocates raising verse calling. I think this turn better has either a str8 or 2 pair. The set seems unlikely, but a draw or pair+draw is virtually nonexistant for this guy's stereotype.

does he have the str8 or 2-pair more often? I should ask him for his range. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

A lot of the replies here are just plain wrong against the typical tight 10-20 FW player. Many of the older regulars are really easy to read, and against some I'm more than willing to drop TP/TK on the turn here. Raising is giving away 2 bets, or maybe a couple hours work if you will. Note I said some of them.

Even fold it for one bet in a pot this large?

the bottom line is it is read dependant, the foxwoods game is so easy that a turn-donk is a laydown or a raise, u just got to find out early in the session what it means. When i am in a new casino, i pay close atttention and look at big streets closely and i tell my students at foxwoods, find out what each players turn action is ( what is the turn donk mean, what does each turn raise mean), if i get raised on the turn and i have tp/tk i will threw it away against 95%+ of foxwoods players, but if it is Sergio, Gene, Josh , Doc Jose etc i have to look these players up.


Also, i knew the guy Bill (initials bk also, who plays the 10 and 20 games) is a weak tight older player but his turn donk is 100% a draw, and for him i raise it 100% of time. If i have no reads im raising and i think it usually works out to be the correct play.

This game is so easy because of reads on players that i mucked qq preflop because these guys are so predictable.

Yes. As a general example, If your read is that you're beat 95% of the time in a 10 BB pot, you fold. And I fully understand say, Miller's advice about not folding in large pots, but there comes a point where you have to trust your reads and correctly estimate your chances, and save bets where appropriate.
