3 Hands of AJo verses Otter

#1 12-10-2005, 01:13 AM

Otter is 65/15/1, has been playing all types of stuff. He has been donking the flop quit a bit, usually with not much. He hasn't been too aggressive thou.

All three of these hands happend really close together. In this first hand do I continuation bet the turn? I'm guessing you bet for two reasons 1. He peels any card of the flop, therefore you bet to protect your hand, 2. It is likely that he is drawing, due to board texture, therefore you make him pay. Is this the line of thining that I should be using?

Outcome: 

I have been running really bad over the last 600 hands. Hit my first 100BB downswing. I'm putting all this money in with these hands and am missing, so I'm getting good practice at these situations.

Another quick question. When I use the hand converted it seems to miss a lot of information out. Why?

Hand1: That's the last money I'm putting in the pot on the turn. Fine.
Hand2: I like it against some opponents when you can get a free card. If he donks the turn its an easy fold.
Hand3: I'd fold to the flop 3bet.

Hand 1: Bet turn for value.

Hand 2: Bet turn for value.

Hand 3: Call down his flop donk. No reason to raise. Let him bluff away his chips with a worse hand.
