i shut it down after turn , but i like your line ( til the river )

[People_Mover]

i like the whole thing (except for .50) bet, this is usually a bluff with a random number.

I agree 100%. I use Full Tilt Shortcuts &amp; this is a common problem I have ... I have it setup to auto-populate a certain percentage &amp; that sometimes adds some cents ... workin on that

I think your play is pretty transparent, as most people love betting out from the BB with their draws.

It depends on your opponent though. If he is a calling station, it's not worth trying to bluff.

Ya I should've tried this a little later in the match once I knew his tendencies ... he snapped called river with AJo

I don't particularly like calling with k-4 s oop .

Being suited really is overrated and especially oop .

I don't call PF unless villain is raising everything from position. If he is raising everything from position, I might raise, call, or fold, depending on how the last series of hands have gone.

Flop donk: Ok, if he folds to them a lot (or if he folds to the second barrel a lot, since it looks like you are at least 2 barreling him here no matter what turn brings). If he c-bets every flop, I like check/calling or check/raising better.

Turn donk: I guess you have to keep the semi-bluff going, but I don't mind a check/call or check/raise again because the turn obviously didn't help you, so you need to show no strength or a lot of strength and this bet doesn't do it in my opinion.

River donk: Don't like it. The only hand that is folding to you is a naked 4, and that is not likely because you have one of them and he raised preflop. At this point it looks like you have a monster or nothing because an overcard and paired board did not slow you down. He either has a hand or has decided you are full of it and is calling with anything.
