agree or disagree?

donkbet is certainly fishy. I wasn't sure if he decided to donkbluff so I raised for free river. I figure if villain behind me has an 8 or pp, he has to fold, thus chances of winning go up.

With a 3rd player involved and a vulnerable hand. your raise seems good to me.

Do you call a 3bet hoping to improve? And then fold the river?
Or do you fold the turn immediately?

If Villain only calls your raise... and then donk bets the river again,
What do you choose to do?

have to call if you get raised. You got hopefully 6 outs if he raises biggrin.gif


And for metagame. You DO NOT want to raise/fold here. I think your raises would lose a lot of respect after that.

if villain calls and donks again...I'm calling.

Some people donk A high, pocket pair, top pair, flush draws. Such a wide range. I have to call and write a note on him. That 1bb can save me lots more in teh future.

You suck at counting outs. icon_biggrin.gif Max outs: 5. Reasonable discounted outs: 3.

As for meta-game, I do tend to agree with you somewhat there. However, I think I occasionally leak when I use that excuse to justify a loose call.
