Tried to play it a bit different ... mixin it up!

But got lost on later streets. I'm mainly looking for advice on the turn and river.

I call river all day. Your hand looks so much like a busted draw.

flatting pre? Sometimes I flat call pre.
donking the flop? Cos I felt like it.
checking the turn? Don't know.
folding the river? Don't know.

I was completely lost on the turn and river.

Try having better reasons for doing things than "cuz I felt like it".

frtz · #8 11-19-2007, 08:22 PM

k so unless villain is rly nitty i repop this all day long.
"i felt like it" doesnt seem like great reasoning imo. id check raise flop. as played id lead out turn. as played id call river.

You can pretty much play this hand differently on every street.

Preflop is a RR a decent % of the time against a loose opener. Since villain is unknown, just calling is fine.

Donking the flop is alright. Donking is generally a non-standard line, so you should be using it to throw off villain. You should be playing for stacks in this spot, especially since villain doesn't have a full stack. Standard move would be to CR flop and shove turn.

Turn, don't really like a check here, but once you do check, and he bets, just put it all in.

River, please don't fold.
