Live 8/16 turn donk
For those of you who haven't done this, I'm now convinced that a week in Vegas or some other place with live poker is essential for your poker career. I had a blast, won some money, and got seriously better.
Anyways, great loose passive/loose agressive 8/16 game at the Wynn. Couple of rocks, couple of fish, couple cocky laggys, me, and one pretty decent player. SB is a cranky old guy who plays terribly and is a bit predictable. Loves to slowplay good hands and bet marginal ones. He has hit a couple of beats and is kind of tilting. Seems to be position aware, and is super loose agressive in later positions. UTG+2 is a typical ABC TAG. SSH preflop range and not very inventive postflop, but this is paying off well for him in this particular game. Hero is dealt Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in HJ 2 folds, UTG+2 raises, folds to hero who 3-bets, SB calls 2.5 cold. Flop (9SB) A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] SB checks, UTG+2 checks, Hero bets, all call. Turn (6 BB) T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] SB, to my surprise, bets. UTG+2 folds. Hero thinks for half a second and... I think considering this player, the answer is easy, but I really want to hear thoughts on this issue. I'll tell you what I did later. |

Re: Live 8/16 turn donk
Call down. This seem to be a WA/WB line here. The problem is that is you are WA will the SB call down and not fold if you raise? You asked another poster if this is a raise/fold line. If you raise you can't fold. Remember how bad this player is and he could be titling.

Re: Live 8/16 turn donk
I would call down. That being said my new favorite line to take with possibly dominated aces is to check/call the flop and donk the turn.

In this hand though, I have position. I agree that calling down is the right play against this opponent. His turn donk is just plain strange, and could mean many other things than a slowplayed Ace or a set. I would think that a c/r somewhere would be more likely if that was the case. |

Heads up, 7 BB pot. I call and hope that I can show down for 1 or no further bets to this super loose aggressive player.

Re: Live 8/16 turn donk
Edit: Guess I shouldn't have posted this yet. But in this case, I think its still easy to think about a good turn play regardless of results.
Just because its funny as hell, here are the results: Hero calls turn River: Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Villain swears and checks. I bet and show my hand which I know is best. He throws down his pocket 7s in disgust, says "I can't take this [synonym for crap] anymore!" grabs all his chips in his hand and runs from the table. LOL. I wish he hadn't gone though, since he is awful. Calls 2.5 cold PF OOP 3-way, check-calls flop as a slowplay, donks the turn, and then checks, naturally (ha ha) assuming that I have QQ or KJ. Every street played terribly. I love it. |

I hate folding to a 3-bet against some guy who is tilting and playing more unpredictably by the minute. |
