Default Re: Explain this donk move to me

[ QUOTE ]
Some sort of multiway raised pot, assume pot is 15BB or something. The flop comes with two cards of the same suit and donk A, who was not the preflop raiser, minbets it (you, know, because he's sneaky and wants to draw at his flush cheaply), somebody calls, and donk B raises this 1BB bet to ...... 3BB [img]/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img] Wow! What a monstrously powerful raise that is! I imagine there's a ton of folding equity there!

Tell me why people do this.


Thanks in advance.

Your asking us to explain stupidity. Stupid is as stupid does my friend.

Seirously though, the flop mini-bet is becoming quite the epidemic. It's especially frustrating when you have a couple of people to act after you and a donk mini-bets your nut flush draw in front of you. Now you get sandwich in a drawing situaiton OOP. Those are the times I wish I could reach through the screen. From my experience, a lot of times they believe they can steal a pot with these mini-bets, or draw cheaply. Something must be done soon!
