(i think u mean "turn")

eh...doesn't like money?

BUT...occasionally the donk overbet stuff might get a quick knee-jerk call from an AQ/AJ holder. bout all i can come up with.

Says a 5+1 player.

Ugh, anyway. This play looked really weird when i saw it too...but it worked in this situation. I have never really seen it used this early.

I'm just an HS Senior and the little extra income is pretty nice, although I do intend to move up when my bankroll and my psyche are ready.

But back to the original post, if the player is not a donk then he's simply moving all in to induce a call by what looks like a 'bluff' overbet. Kinda like when Mel Judah moved in on a board of 3-4-5-6-x with 9-7 to mess with Paul Phillips, who of course made the crying call with the 2.
