Trapping A Donk with a Donk.....
Both Villians in this hand are 'standard' bad. BB's VP$IP is 90% over 50+ hands. CO is around 43%. Aggression stats for both seem fairly normal for players of their caliber. Both Villians are quite predictable.

Re: Trapping A Donk with a Donk.....
I love the turn bet with a monster in an attempt to get the BB trapped for extra bets. The only thing to be a bit concerned about is whether a passive player will play back at you after the stop and go. I actually prefer this line against better players than worse ones.
I think the river is a very clear bet and call a raise. I'd think about folding if it were two more back to me. |

Re: Trapping A Donk with a Donk.....
On the scale of really really really bad cards for you, the 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] might just be #1. I disagree, you are going to be raised by a hand that beats you too much to bet here. I think this is a simple check and call if its not two back to you.
PF iso is a solid play. Turn stop and go is a great manuever here espeically since the BB is coming along too. |

Its easy to put CO on a big pair here, so the river card definately didn't help him. He's not raising the turn with something like AKs. BB could be calling down with any part of the board. |

Re: Trapping A Donk with a Donk.....
I personally like how you played preflop, flop and turn. I'm curious to know if you were planning on bailing completely if the 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] had come on the turn instead of the river.
On the river, I personally am too much of a sucker to fold this hand unless I have to call two bets at some point, I'd be real scared though if BB wakes up. |

Re: Trapping A Donk with a Donk.....
I'm not too sure the villain necessarily has you beat with the 8 His cap preflop could mean JJ-AA. Of course, he could have AKs or AQs, but I think a big pocket pair is likely. I'd just check/call the river though - would not be fun to get 3-bet. However, the turn raise makes it look to me like he's got a set (that happens to be lower than yours). I don't see why a flush or open-ended straight draw would semi-bluff on both the flop and turn. It looks like he's jamming the pot with a set.

Yeah, make them pay the max for their stupid draws.

Re: Trapping A Donk with a Donk.....
but if CO slows down on the turn because you capped the flop, now not only is BB getting a fantastic price to draw, but you missed out on extra money.
Isn't it better to get the two extra bets on the turn rather than the two on the flop? besides if the turn card comes out ugly, you might have a chance to get away if there is a lot of action there. |

[/ QUOTE ] It is better to get 2 bets on the turn, rather than 2 on the flop but the stop-n-go move may cause a "just call" form the CO as well. In this case hero got lucky, as CO raised. But in a majority of cases (IMO), the stop-n-go will freeze CO in his tracks. |
