thoughts: Villain is a donkey, seen him minbetting a lot, call with awful hands and making bad plays in general. Doesn't seem to creative in general...
Plan was to cr all in on the turn, thoughts on that? thoughts on river blocking bet?

Please bet the turn. Please, please, please. Way to many draw to get fancy.

I would get my money in on the turn and fast.

Planning to C/R isn't such a bad idea....except what leads you to believe he will bet the turn?. He's just seen you raise his flop bet. Too risky given the flop. Just bet it out.

Also your flop raise isn't big enough IMO. Let's say he was CBing but has a flush draw or straight draw. He's calling 2.50 to win 7.15 which is nearly 3:1. You'll probably bet or call the deficit giving him the implied odds he needs.

thanks, looking at it now the turn check seems really awful.
thoughts on the river blocking bet? I know it looks donkish, but do you think it usually works against a typical 25 NL donk?

[DaycareInferno]

i dislike the cr on the flop almost as much as the check on the turn. why are we check/raising the pfr with an underpair oop on a draw heavy board versus a donk?

edit: i guess maybe its not so bad, but it just seems really awkward against a bad player.

You have to bet the turn. you'll be sick on the river if villian outdraws you.

[suited77]

What's your reasoning for the flop checkraise? What's your plan if you are called and the turn bricks?

[evilhamit]

reason for cr was a) his weak small bet b) board didn't necissarily help a raising hand..
turn plan is a good question lol.. probably slow down and c/f to any serious bet, really wanted to take it down on the flop

Lead flop, lead turn, bet more on the river.
