Default Re: What\'s he/she got?

My personal rule of thumb for one-pair hands is the third donk bet is on the house. Having raised the flop and the turn I'll just call this one. It's not uncommon for sets to play this way and I've already paid off as much as I should.

Without a read it's about 50-50 between losing to a monster and catching some slick-killer that's betting to prevent the free showdown.

One problem with raising is there is a real question whether you can get paid for being right. In particular a good player might sometimes bet the river with a hand that I beat, but only in a moment of weakness would he call the raise. If he felt he needed to call he wouldn't have bet.
