donkbet why?

[sh58]

i have seen donkbets in 3bet pots before and they are almost always weak

so why this line here. villain has no reads on me as i have just sat and we haven't played before. if he datamines he probably sees me as 22/18. i have him as 18/18/4 over 200 datamined hands

is he inducing a raise?

does anyone out there donkbet in 3bet pots, cos i don't understand why people would do it 100BB deep?

[Imrahil]

He doesn't have a clue so he probably flips a coin.

[jakeduke]

he probably thinks he has some fold equity w/ the lead, and then when you raise says "i look weak and he's raising w/ ak so [censored] him i arrin".

I would maybe consider leading with a strong hand every once in a while (because those leads do get raised a ton ime), but i've never actually done it and don't think i'm missing out on much.

He had an overpair and gutshot, he loved his 4 extra outs. But you're right, how can he think he's ahead when you 3-bet PF and raise him on the flop?

I play middle pairs much more cautiosly after being 3-bet PF, and would probaby c/f most flops. If I bet out and got raised, then I'd also have to fold, obv.

please dont tell me you are only calling for set value? I think it is not profitable to call 3-bets with pp with 100bb stacks only for set value. Have to gamble sometimes.

because villain is an idiot

Ya, I set mine way too much. This a big leak in my game and I need to learn to play medium and small pocket pairs better. Would c/ring be a good line here sometimes?

i would stack off against me with TT in that spot everytime, but the point is why donk when i will probably Cbet and then he can raise.

Really? Seems like even against a light 3 bettor, you're only ever going to be SA/WB when you get action.
