donk4life 34 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t1000 (6 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)SB (t15018)BB (t9340)UTG (t14731)MP (t25449)CO (t23414)Hero (t25710)Preflop: Hero is Button with J, A. 2 folds, CO raises to t3000, Hero calls t3000, SB raises to t5000, 1 fold, CO folds, Hero calls t2000.Flop: (t13400) 8, 7, 4(2 players)SB bets t1000, Hero raises to t20610First off, what do you think of preflop play? Second: His flop bet is just blatantly saying "I have overcards and hopefully I can buy this pot as cheaply as possible."... So how do you like that play as well? Link to post Share on other sites
BeaverStyle 1 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I've definitely raised donk-bets from time to time, but I don't think you need to use your whole stack to get him to fold.The problem is, after his flop lead of 1 bb, the sb only has about 9k left. IMO, in $4.40's, if they 'hit' any piece of that flop... pair, draw, or they have an overpair, they're not folding.Any raise you could make instead of pushing also commits you. I think I throw it away on the flop. Link to post Share on other sites
jmbreslin 0 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I don't play the $4.40's myself, but I would be very concerned about that PF reraise. There is a raise and call in front, and he throws in a small reraise for 1/3 of his stack. That's not a steal-the-pot move, IMO, that's an I-want-action move.As for the flop donkbet, would any player actually think he/she could buy the pot with a 1000 bet into a 13000 chip pot? I'd actually be more inclined to think he's trying to bait you, by looking weak and hoping you'll make a move. Link to post Share on other sites
NEtwowilldo 0 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 In these 180s, you never really have a stack deep enough to be flat calling raises. 23 BBs, onthe FT bubble especially, AJ sooted is way ahead of the CO's range. I like a reraise all in preflop. Link to post Share on other sites
donk4life 34 Posted December 29, 2007 Author Share Posted December 29, 2007 I didn't think this hand would get much discussion, just wanted a few thoughts on it, thanks guys..The guy actually folded there lol.. I just felt like that 1k bet was practically a check... I almost believe that he misclicked and accidently raised, because the raise happened almost instantly after I called...
