fold imo, think this is a set, AJ, QQ, more often than a bluff since it's highly unlikely that he's drawing to anything.

Typically...

Flop donkbets = weak
Turn donkbets = strong (or sometimes picked up draw)
River donkbets = hit draw or bluff

everyone on absolute donk bets. it's so weird. the 1/2 pot donk bet on absolute at that level on the turn is weak a good amount of the time.

I'm aggro and shovel. If he's got it the note'll save you money in the long run.

Just re read and saw it was full ring, I definitely see this at fr a lot.

absolute has the weirdest play around.

If we believe his UTG+1 raise to be appropriate, then I'm probably way behind once he check calls the flop. If he raised from UTG+1 without an appropriate hand and is now donkbetting, I think he has a straight in mind (or already there) and I don't have enough to get him to fold - it's only a touch more than a minraise. Awkward.

It was pretty early on for the table and I don't think I had played with him before. I don't really recall but I don't think I had any stats yet.

I always think half pot bets are trying to price in their draw... it works a lot but sometimes it is a set. Without reads I probably fold.

I dunno this also could be a poorly played straight...


Full ring I think I fold.

villian's s/n?


Also, have you noticed on absolute how a lot of the regs will buy in for 40bbs on some tables and 200 on others? It's bizarre. There'a few screen names that play so wildly different I can't believe they're the same person at all times.
