One of those WTF hands, play along with me

[yad]

This was one of those hands that was just perplexing all the way through. I think I botched it. I think it's a good play-along hand.

UTG is greg1osu, an OK nitty regular, I have him at 14/10. Button is clearly a donk, but that's all I know.

Start with preflop, which poses one of those really annoying spots:

maybe this is best, but I just love to tangle with folks that play like the button.

plus folding wouldn't make a very interesting play-along!

from what ive heard of this greg dude you are basically behind his utg open range and not closing the action. he will likely raise it up here to get HU with the donkey and take your dead money and even when you flop an A or Q you arent going to be happy.


but yea whatever play-along, whats the flop

OK so perhaps folding was best, but I called:

i would definitely lead out here, reasonable size. $30 or so. if UTG folds, i plan to get it in with the idiot. if UTG shows any agression i insta fold. if UTG calls and donk calls, i probably don't put any more money into the pot
