$11: Whas this a donk move ?

ShawnM · #1 01-06-2006, 03:49 AM

Was this a donk move on my part or was I justified by the betting pattern of my opponent. When he called on the flop I wasn't too sure of myself but his small bet on the turn then his check on the river told me to go for it. He had min raised from the sb a few time before, later he indicated that he was on a flush draw.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (8 handed)
CO (t585)
Button (t770)
SB (t945)
Hero (t1435)
UTG (t1030)
UTG+1 (t775)
MP1 (t1015)
MP2 (t1445)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
6 folds, SB raises to t100, Hero calls t50.

Flop: (t200) T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB bets t95, Hero raises to t200, SB calls t105.

Turn: (t600) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB bets t70, Hero calls t70.

River: (t740) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB checks, SB folds.

Final Pot: t740

*edit* I went all in at the end, don't know why it didn't convert.

No idea what you're thinking here. Just fold preflop and move on. If not, fold the flop and move on.

I dont do this kind of stuff at the $11's. How often do you make plays like this?

KKbluff · #4 01-06-2006, 03:54 AM

That was a pretty dangerous flop to be getting fancy with on a $11 SNG.

Personally I would have folded preflop with a M as high as yours at this point.

Hendricks433 · #5 01-06-2006, 03:58 AM

M doesnt really apply to SNG's does it? Easy reasoning is you have 5,3 offsuit. Just fold.

Damn you guys are fast. This is definitely not something I do on a regular basis (probably the first time), but this guy was playing every single hand and raising with just about any A or K.

Thanx for the help

if hes playing every single hand then you can wait for a MUCH better spot than 35o especially with your chips. dont give them away to this moron because for the table getting chips from the moron will be much easier than getting chips from you. swallow your pride and let him minraise steal your big blind.

I realize now that this move was foolish on my part at the level I play at($11). The way I figured it, He either had the Q, which he would of folded to my raise, or trips which he would of bet out much stronger on the flop, turn & river or he was on a flush draw.
