[1/2] Usual situation : to be donk at the river with A high

13_Xerxes · #1 06-21-2007, 02:18 PM

That's a sitution I never don't know what can I do. I bet two streets, to avoid to give free card, then, on a brick, he donked...
Is my A high good enough time to call ?

Villain is 38/0/0.6, but aggressiv on the river.
And what to do in the same situation against an aggro villain ???

This WA/WB line from an otherwise passive player is usually a made hand in my experience. I see this with big hands sometimes. I would have folded as well as long as I wasn't worried about my image.

If he is aggressive on the river and is showdown bound, you can check the turn (to induce a bluff) and call a riverbet (same amount of money goes in and you see a showdown). I do this against passive villains, but I am not sure it is the correct play.

Except when the same amount of money goes in it goes in more often with you calling a value bet.

Lots of players autobet every river when the turn goes check-check.

The turn bet is perfectly fine.

As long as I have some kind of read that he is aggressive on the river/might bluff some [censored] I call. Otherwise (normally), given his stats, I fold.
