Re: Am I a donk?
[ QUOTE ]
I believe the correct play is for you to reraise his raise maybe another $80. [/ QUOTE ] This would serve absolutely no purpose except to build the pot. After villain raises, I really don't see him going anywhere for a min-reraise. He would be getting laid 5.75 from the pot at that point, but even disregarding pot odds, I definitely cannot see him folding anything he raised with... at least not for a min-reraise.

If someone bets 80 on the flop, you can't raise it to 100, for example.

Re: Am I a donk?
You're right. Mine was on the flop. I had just about exact odds to do so. In a cash game, I have no doubts. In a tourney, I still think it was a good call. But, it was early, and I had enough chips to play with had I folded.

Re: Am I a donk?
[ QUOTE ]
PS: 3 bet push the flop. You don't want the A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] checking behind when he misses the turn, and open pushing a blank turn is just a waste. [/ QUOTE ] I understand why a 3 bet or a push on the flop is a good line. I understand why is is dangerous to just check the turn (because he could check behing with the A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]) or some other draw that beats you. But can someone explain why open pushing a blank turn is "just a waste"? adanthar is a great poster and I am sure I am missing something here. Thanks P.S. Is donk short for donkey? If it is not what does donk stand for?

Re: Am I a donk?
Because you're losing your stack when behind while not letting him make the big mistake of calling his chips off on the flop, where you are a 2:1 favorite. Oh, and 1 time in 5 you get blown off your hand while you have outs.
(anyone who now says 'but I can wait for a better spot than 2:1' can shut up, thx. holla)
