3/6 - donked into, holding KK

[aflaba]

Opponent is 30/12 or so, but it is over only 100 hands. I'm unsure about both flop and turn. What does he have? What would you do?

Im not sure why being bet into on the flop is being "donked into" but I would raise the flop because thats a pretty draw heavy board. Also it puts him to a decision and makes him define his hand.

Although this play also defines your hand, you have to play it this way to protect your overpair.

Raise flop. If not, turn is fine. Also reload to max buyin

[tcorbin16]

yeah raise the flop. if not you played this hand well imo.

Thanks for the comments.

If I didn't have the king of diamonds, would you still like a flop raise? Or a call + fold on a turned diamond?

Sorry, that's just what I call any bet that is bet into the guy with initiative. I know most player's don't use the term the same way I do. My mistake to use it when communicating.

A6 of diamonds is a very slight favorite/coin flip in this position against your over pair (though not a made hand). You allow second pair, diamond draw to catch trips or a diamond. Put your money in on that flop. The donk bet will most likely fold to a reraise (perhaps putting you on AK, KQ). He has you beat if he reraises you. Find out where your KK is on this flop.

Raising and folding to a push is lighting money on fire vs many players.

Raising and calling a push is lighting money on fire vs some players.

Calling and seeing what happens can never be a huge mistake but may not be optimal against certain people. If facing a push will make you vomit then I'd prefer just calling.

Having an actual read would help a lot though.

You used the term correctly.

Raise flop.

you played your hand fine. raising here against some players is not only unneccessary, it is just stupid. With your limited read, the OP is ok
