Re: Donk weakbets flop when you miss
Against a player with pretty decent stats you have to worry that he is betting weak with a set expecting you to be aggressive and raise. This can lead to a sticky situation if he leads into you on the turn when an A or K falls. That being said, against a donk, I try to vary my play between a call representing a slow played overpair if the board is low card rainbow, raise if I have a backdoor draw of somekind, or just fold. As it has been mentioned before, your course of action is player dependent, but if you think he is the type of player who would fold to a raise isn't it reasonable that he is also the type of player who would go for the check raise hoping that you missed with overs and his mp or small pp is good instead of leading out? The pot is small, you could be reverse dominated, if he is bluffing you win little with a raise, and if he has a set you are in a bad situation. This makes me lean towards a fold more often than not.
