Im not sure if I would play it this way but this way might be better.

And there it is, CM ends my streak of 30 straight posts .I usually fold PF here, although calling can never really be terrible here. Usually, I would go for a flop c/r, but I like your play for a few reasons:1) If you c/r the flop, opponents will correctly call with overcards. This puts you in somewhat of a tough situation when a card in the broadway range hits the turn.2) By calling the flop, you have alot of options on the turn. If you improve, you can probably c/r the field. If a low card hits the board, you can donk out since overcards are not getting correct odds to peel now. If a broadway card falls, I'd check the turn and fold if I have to overcall.So, all in all, NH.

I've noticed CM takes strange lines sometimes, especially when it comes to donk betting. Too many times we blindly check to the player with the lead w/o thinkin about betting out. Lol but, thats why CM is a sick player

i like. button could overcall with overs, a8, or pocketpair. He could also have an fd and bluff the river w/nothing.wp.
