tough 5,10 spot, 99 OOP {AND DONKING IT}

[rand]

ive taken a like 3 pots away from villain in like 6or 7 orbits, so i havnt shown anything down but have an aggro image...

despite the stacks i donked the flop hopping to get him to raise me which i think is reasonable... perhaps it would have been better with a stronger hand but anyway, what do you guys think of hte donk given history and how do you play the turn and river?

the hand was difficult bc i have no idea if he floated me with overs that hit or not, so i cant really figure out a bluffing v vbetting range on the later streets...

looks good, I think the board just hits too much of his floating range. Ur good here sometimes but I dont think its profitable to call w/o more history of him bluffing you here

[jlocdog]

Start with what river cards are you calling. That may dictate earlier action.

[ChrisV]

Need stats on villain.

[tannenj]

what do you think about value bet-folding the turn (dynamic doesn't seem crazy enough to continue if he raises), cf the river? i think that's the line i'd take if i bet the flop.

i think it's reasonable as played, though.

i dont like flop-donk, c/c turn line.
turns your hand face up imo.

[DJ Sensei]

dont like a flop donk with these stacks, too often you'll end up playing an uncomfortably large pot without a good idea of where you stand

the rest i guess is alright, its tough to put him on a strong range here, but he cant put you on anything too strong either. sometimes i might make a small c/r on the turn and fold to any more action, but thats kinda meh too.
