Hey Bobbo, what do you mean by the pot being "semiprotected"?

[/ QUOTE ]

Whenever you have a third presence in the hand, (sb inthis hand) who has not shown any weakness or strength (he checked first to act; thats to be expected, checking to the raiser, good hand or bad. He may lead with sets or whatnot, but anyway, his hand value is [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]) the pot is semiprotected. This means that although a bluff is possible (or semibluff, or probe bet, etc etc.) the chance is lessened.

As to the play in this hand, if it was HU, and OP really believed villain donkbet everything, then this isn't a terrible spot to put the clamps on. But, that said, I dont really like the play here, although it could very well have worked. (Or rivered a ten)
