Re: I don\'t know how to deal with the donk turn
[ QUOTE ]
Hey, I think I may actually have learned something here. Raising the donk seems pretty safe. If I'm 3-bet, I can readily fold to an unknown, and otherwise, I may well get a free card. I like it.
One thing I've noticed is that often the donk bet comes when the turn creates a draw, usually a flush draw. It's hard to tell, though, whether the donker is betting out of fear for the draw, or because he just picked up a draw. Does anyone have an opinion which is more common?

That's the thing. You really have to observe his play to figure out which is which-- donking used to be called "a bet out of nowhere" and without a read you're not going to know what to make of it. Generally that will lead you to raise. Further action will depend on your hand, in this case, you'd have to fold.
