What are your thoughts on my passive line in this hand? The
flop donk of an unknown generally raises a lot of question to me and esp. on this kind of flop - so I took this line.

I think you played it ok. Horrible board

[Bramsterdam]

This looks fine, allthough I'd consider a river reraise

[jmgambler]

On this draw happy flop, it seems fine IMHO, what range do I put UTG on where this flop DOESNT help him?

Him leading the flop for 3/4 makes me agree with your line.......

though I am curious as what other posters say here

[jonyy6788]

what do u beat/what calls if you bet the flop or turn? That's your answer if pot control was smart.

Why.... I see the paired board, but we are still crushed by AK,QQ,JJ,TT,a spade flush ....... and all of these would play it this way,no? ...the only hand we raise and get called that we beat is AQ/KQ.. I dont know whether I would take the chance *shrugs*

I would have played it the same way.

[/ QUOTE ]AK/QQ/JJ/TT would probably keep betting turn.

Given the possible flush I'd actually call this river bet, but pairing the board definately improves our hand here.

I like this, but I don't do because I'm an impatient brat

Good that you agree with you - good in the sense that I finally seem to learn something about NL.
Btw. he had 87 - omg.
