400NL: AJ vs donk

Kristian · #1 02-07-2007, 09:06 PM

I was torn between building and controlling pot size in this hand, please give me your opinion. Villain is a loose/passive donk.

If a loose/passive donk opens for 4x UTG I'm not playing AJo. Other then that, raise more on flop, I like the check behind on turn as played.

Raise alot more on the flop or just call. As played Im torn between betting turn and checking. I prob check but betting has its merits (he calls with J10h etc). If you bet turn you should bet river also to get two streets of value, as if you check behind river after betting turn you might as well check behind turn and then bet river

If he is loose and passive I don't think I would want to raise the flop.

If he's definitely a donk, and b/c its party, I raise flop to $130. Turn check behind is good for pot control and you ahve A of hearts. Reeval non-heart riv.

Minraising here is expert to get value from AK/AQ/TT or less.
