Attack of the Tilting Donks
 

A couple hands ago, I had just won a huge pot off this guy with an OESD hit on the river and he's steaming. He three-bet my previous hand - a steal attempt I connected with - and now is determined to get me back on this one.

He's my buddy: 71/11/1.2/47

If the guy is steaming why not three bet the flop hope he caps and collect bets from him and the other third man in the pot? I would put in as many bets as possible on this flop without hesitation. The turn is definately a scare card but I like the lead, call a raise and then shut down and get to SD

Re: Attack of the Tilting Donks
 

i would 3-bet the flop according to your read. The A kind of turns your hand to goo unless he's REALLY steaming and doing this with like 22 or KJ or something. Either way, make sure you see a showdown.

I'm still debating over bet-call or check-call as the best course of turn action. Things might be different if you had 3-bet the flop.
