A big donkey completes from the bring-in with a 2 (he has extremely weak calling standards, but I don't know much about his betting and raising standards, but I haven't seen him play aggressively without a strong hand), it folds to a 5 who calls, it folds to me and I'm last to act with rolled up 7's.
Does everyone merely call in this situation, or is fast-playing against a weak calling station who is showing strength better? What is a good plan for the later streets in a situation like this? I'll share what I did and the result of the hand later. The results are pretty surprising. |

I would be mmore inclined to respond to your question if you did not insult other people by using derogatory adjectaives like donkey. It is realy worthwhile to respect the players that you play with without degrading them by name calling. If you want people to respect you, then don;t call them donkeys. They are someone's father, son, husband, whatever. They may not be a strong poker player, but perhaps there is a better way for you to refer to weaker players than donkey. This is probably not the response that you wanted, but it is all the help that you deserve from me.

In response to the actual question, I'd probably fast play in this situation. The fact that he is a calling station means he isn't going to fold. Also the other guy may have a 3 flush or something and you'd like to get as much money in the pot so he keeps on chasing. You may even get re-raised by the donke... I mean unskilled poker player. The only time I like to slowplay rolled up is when im the first or second one in for the bring-in. But once players have shown that they are willing to call a raise you need to start getting the money in the pot. |

When a player makes an FBI,the other players expect him to have a large to middle sized pair in the hole,& they are ususlly correct. The 5 caller probably probably has a 3-card 7 with some high potential.If you raise in late position like this,you are representing a large pair(AA or KK)or either a low hand with an A or straight/flush potential.
The immediate raise looks the best by far to me.You should get action playing it fast& achieve max EV,imo.(Was his hand (22)2? |

I would just call third here and look to get my raise in on fifth. If the bring-in has a hand like AA2, he may three-bet, and you can end up with quite a large pot.
If you raise 3rd you may get a fair bit of action early on, but you are less likely to be able to get extra big bets. On a side note, given that iamastud never offers anyone helpful advice on how to play hands anyway, I would totally ignore his post. |

Its not like hes doing it to his face or telling people exactly who it is, it is just setting up the analysis of the hand. A majority of the posts on this site call people donkeys, why respond to this one? |

The term donkey is standard poker terminology, and it's far less offensive than many of the things that are said at the poker table. |
