I really hate donk bet so I raise it up. Lots of times I can win the hand right there. I assume it is not a leak?



Turn: ($11.50) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 Players)
Hero checks, CO checks

Seems he called me, I assume he actually hit some piece of the board. I don't think I can push him off by betting again. So I checked and plan to give up the hand if not improved.

River: ($11.50) T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 Players)
Hero checks, <font color="red">CO bets $3</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to $8 ???</font>

Now it becomes interesting. I rivered a top pair with weaker kicker. I don't think the T will help him unless he played very very weird. And his bet size is small. So I raise it up, is it good?

if youre going to raise the flop, make it more. and you need to follow through on the turn - bet!

as played river is also a bet, but since you checked, just call the $3.
