I hate donkbets

[wrto4556]

Table is generally loose/passive. No specific reads.

5/10 (10 handed)

Preflop: I get delt T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img],9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] on the Button.
It's folded around to MP3 who limps, CO folds, I call, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: (4sb) Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img],9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img],5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (4 players)
SB checks, BB checks, MP3 bets, I raise, SB calls, BB folds, MP3 calls.

Turn: (5BB) J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB checks, MP3 bets, I raise...

I figure with the OESD and middle pair I don't need to have the best hand as much to raise. Am I spewing?

I like this HU, but what do you put SB on?

[wrto4556]

two hearts, a flush draw, or a nine...*maybe* a medium pocket pair. The table was playing pretty bad.

I fold this preflop even on the button with only one limper, however, I would consider raising if the blinds are tight and MP3 is bad. I fold this flop too as I think you are drawing thin.

"The table was pretty bad."

This is a perfectly good reason for you to be up against a weak Q that wants a showdown. Calling two big bets on the turn might scare him off his hand, but I wouldn't try it without a read.

[wrto4556]

I think preflop and flop are pretty standard. I can't raise preflop because the blinds are loose(the limper is bad), but I don't want to fold.

The flop bet could be plenty of things as he is second to last to act on a draw heavy board.

Raising the turn was because I figured I may have the best hand. If not, I have outs, and could *maybe* push SB off of a bettor hand.

I plan on taking the free showdown if offered.

[SippinSoma]

I read the flop wrong. Given that SB checked and then called two cold, I lean more towards a draw than a weak Q.

If you take a free showdown UI, I see no problems. But for me to take this line, I would like for one of the following:

1. The pot >= 10 BB.
2. To pick up a flush redraw on the turn.

me likes it. what is your plan for the river if you by chance hit two pair, or are UI. Since you are playing with donks you could have the best hand, but they could also have something like Q4s etc

[SmileyEH]

Yeah nice hand. sucks that you have to call a 3bet here though.

Actually, the donk better folded and SB called. The river was checked through and SB showed 4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img],3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and MHIG.

I wonder what the donkbettor had.
