Is this a donk move?
I figured the pot would stay multiway until 5th so i called on 4th. Villian berated my play as donkish. Was it?

Re: Is this a donk move?
Nothing wrong with it due to the number of people in the pot on 3rd.
With 5 people calling the raise on 3rd and 5 calling the bet on 4th, you easily have odds to call, even if villain has Aces up on 4th or 5th. |

Re: Is this a donk move?
People who go around lecturing their opponents in low buy-in tournaments frequently don't know what the hell they're talking about. Here diamonds are very live, and the bettor's hand is a little dead. I can see two reasons for you not to call:
1. There is the risk of a check-raise, which you would hate. I'm guessing that that isn't too great a risk in this event. 2. That T60 represents a decent chunk of your stack, and you will frequently have to fold fifth. In a cash game, especially a passive one, this is a pretty easy call. I think I call in your spot too, but I think it's pretty close. It's hardly donkish. |

Re: Is this a donk move?
Is it relevant that since there are many people in the pot you can hit a flush draw that is much stronger than if you were heads up for example?
I don't know, I'm actually asking. I'm more thinking in context of cash game, because I don't play tourneys [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] |

Its relevant because low limit tourneys depend on multiway pots. I dislike going for bare flush draws in HU scenarios.

If the hand is multiway, then you'll win a larger pot, so you can take a larger risk. The other players are, in a sense, helping you pay for your draw. |

Re: Is this a donk move?
Donk move was the Ace raising last and pricing all the draws into the hand. I tend to just call there, keep the pot small and conceal my hand a little bit. Thats just me.

Re: Is this a donk move?
I think this is the only way to play it. On 5th, if the bettor were to your immediate left, the correct play in a freezeout tournament is probably to raise and attempt to get all-in given your stack size, but since the rest of the field is left to act after you, I would just call as you did.

[/ QUOTE ] Andy - if the OP was closing the action and there wasnt an A raising on 3rd then I'd agree its not that bad, as played I think its horrible. |

Re: Is this a donk move?
The guy who raised third street is also the guy betting fourth street. This is a small buy-in tournament. I'm not that worried about a raise behind me on fourth.
