Default Re: A high bluff against a donk

This was an awful play to make against a donk. You beat donks by letting them give you chips, not bluffing them with no pair or draw. Even if you think you may get him off the hand, you are risking too much. What do you do if he just calls? Fire again? That re-raise (especially out of position) just creates too many problems. If he gets away with doing that with 2nd pair who cares, him having a few extra bucks of yours isn't a big deal. Also the insta min-raise from donk means strength quite often.

Well my notes for this guy say "minraises flop strongly" (from before this hand went down)

So clearly notes and reads are overrated.

Looks like QK to me, maybe AK which would be wierd, but then again super donks dont RR preflop often.
Dont lead flop, and fold.
