$1 BB NL Hold 'Em on FCP

Me: $127.50
Donkey: $119.50

I've been at this table for a while and I've observed this guy to be a total DONKEY. I've got position on the Donkey.

I'm around back w/ 7 8 and decide to limp into a multi-way pot. 6 of us take the flop. ($6 in pot)

Flop: 5 7 8

I had flopped top 2 pair on a kinda scary board given all the limpers, but I wanted to get involved in a pot w/ the Donkey.

3 checks then Donkey bets $5, I raise to $12, all fold to Donkey who calls. ($30 in pot).

Turn: 10

OK, so this wasn't a great card for me. Now there were a few combinations that have made a straight on me, but I just wasn't willing to give Donkey credit for them.

Donkey bets $12 and I raise to $35. I still thought I was ahead and I thought it would be weak to just call, so I raised. Donkey calls. ($100 in pot).

River: my gin card - 8

Donkey bets $20 into a $100 pot. I raised all-in for another $60 bucks, he calls.

Final pot $241.

Any thoughts on how I played the hand???

I'll give bonus points to anyone who can call Donkey's cards.

Donkey had AA

I think you played the hand fine. I like maybe a lil bigger flop raise but you isolated your donk as you intended.

Donk had a big hand I think QQ maybe

Donkey has 22.

Donk had 6's.

Also, anyone else think FCP No-limit table are very passive/loose preflop, and loose/aggressive post-flop.

i think he had a straight on the turn. i dont think you gave the donkey enough credit, i mean bet raise call, bet raise call generally tells me he's stong, please correct me if im wrong

The Donkey had 9 4 . He flopped a straight draw and improved to a flush draw on the turn. The most amazing part of the hand is he called my re-raise on the end (It was about $50 for him to call) with 9-high. That's the part I just don't understand. Even if I was bluffing he couldn't beat anything - he had 9-high with 2 busted draws.

Misclick or misread hand?????????

Has to be right LOL

Buddy list em

C'mon, how could he not think his 9 high was good there? Geeze, lay off the guy..lol

I think that FCP NL tables aren't where the money's at; if you're going to try to make money, play the limit games and tourneys.

I love FCP but I play Omaha 8 and tourneys almost exclusively there.

For NL: Party, Pokerstars, Paradise. Actually, I think any site starting with a P is pretty soft.

I typically play LHE. Lately I've been playing 3/6. To be honest I hadn't played in any NLHE Ring Games in months, and I was just taking a break.

when i think about it that guy really was a donkey, when u think about it then that is wat it must be, bad answer on my behalf

The short-handed 5/10 limit games actually seem to have more solid players than I'm used to.

As for the NL games, they're tighter than I'm used to.

wow, nine high... i've seen a few of these calls before where they feel "committed" and "i've come this far, midaswell pay him off" although i am leaning towards a misclick [a frequent occurence]. yesterday I saw someone call another guy down with a board of 7-8-9-K-A [no flushes possible] with 46 [heavy preflop $20 each, heavy flop $70 each, not so heavy turns $40 each then with $65 left in front of him 46 makes a crying call on the river......... the funny thing was he made the right call, they chopped [other guy had 6-3]

Only raising 23$ more with a very vulnerable 2 pair into a 44$ pot is an awful raise. Make it something more like 50 on the turn.

Rest looks good.
