Re: Playing like a maniac (or continuing with the semi-bluff)
On this particualr board I disagree with you on the number of times he is holding a draw vs. some shitty pair/A high. Here I think its much more likely hes holding a weak made hand. So when he donks on the turn, on one of the cards that completes one of the few draws he has, or sticks him with a pair on some of the draws he had. Then I don't like the raise for all the reasons you stated. You are commited to 3 bets regardless of what happens (your river bet, or his turn 3 bet). I take the odds I'm given and call, and then meekly fold the turn when I don't hit.
river, I agree is a bet. And all isnt lost if you get called, you'll have a nice image to exploit [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Getting donkbet is the part of my game I struggle with the most, I have the hardest time figuring out when to be aggresive and when to be weak and fold.
