Default Re: Turn raises....

i feel you dude, i really do. there are donkeys everywhere. whats worse is that you dont know who they are. what i recommend that you do is every time you see someone make a donkey play, create a note that says "donkey" for them. i started doing this today and you wouldnt believe how many times it saved my ass already. if you make these notes with consistency, after you get a hundred hands on a player and dont have a donkey note on him, you can be fairly certain that you can fold safely to him.

also, if you see somebody take a really weird line, like a limpreraise or a double checkraise, look him up, because its a big bluff more times than not.

also, try not to make a habit out of calling down doneky plays from the turn. if you want to look a guy up because he might be donking you, try to only do it once you made it to the river. also, its hard to look somebody up with only ahigh, because many of these donkeys are making moves on you with bottom pair, thinking that they are going to bluff you off your aces.

i rarely fold strong hands anymore, such as PPs, that cant beat what a turn raise represents. there are just too many donkeys out there. one more thing that you should know is that AK UI most be folded on the turn at 3/6. you can get away with chasing AK at higher limits a bit more, but you cant at lower limits. the reason for this is that a turn raise suggests 2pair or better nearly always at 3/6, and you will be drawing dead a large majority of the time.
