Re: How do you make sure that a PF 3-bettor doesn\'t just have overcards
pkr2k5, what table conditions are you looking for to raise 44 utg? I'm curious because I can't think of any situation where I'd both want to raise 44 utg and not want to leave the table.
As for the hand, once BB calls, if you're ahead, there are probably at least 12 cards that beat you twice. If BB folded, you're in a tough spot because the pf 3-bettor could EASILY have overcards and have no respect for your flop donk. High cards often take shots at ragged boards and your donkbet is a pair as often as it is something like AJ or KQ so villain's AK is not holding back, and if it happens to be suited in spades, clubs, or have a spade, he may be more inclined to semibluff you. It's just too easy to be forced off the best hand when you play it like this.
Ask yourself: what am I trying to accomplish by donking the flop and what will my opponent think I'm trying to accomplish by donking the flop.
