1$ Noob faces tricky turn

[Gelford]

OK, so I have one of my usual NLHE tilts me periods, and I usually solve that with playing Stud or PLO for a while (Since the US has left the building not much stud action to be found tho ... sigh)

But ok, I've just received Stox book and started playing minbet hold'em.


I haven't played long, so not many reads, but this is a more passive table and noone seems to get out of line .. fairly honest players.

I didn't expect the table to explode like this, and I realized that if I call here, then turn will be capped. Still based on intuition alone I leaned towards a call ??

But since I am a LHE noob, I am very open for comments on all streets.

Why would you donk that Flop? Call the Turn

My equity is not bad here, and if i am to call a bet, I prefer applying presure myself representing the Ace.

Am I too scandinavian ??

flop isn't bad but i'd rarely donk simply because i don't think utg ever folds better hands. when they both call the flop you need to check the turn. as played, routine turn call.

OK, donk flop then check/call turn ... that makes sense, thx [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

yeah flop donk isnt bad because KQ and underpairs sometimes fold but i still dont like it...i almost never donk unless i have a set in a 5 way capped Pot(-:
