Default Donk-Farm\'in

Notes:
villain is a really bad lag with stats of 35/25/2. He donks preflop agressors constantly with even weak-draws or made hands like bottom pair. He doesnt usually donk 2 streets in a row though.

On the turn, I was planning to check behind, but things got spicy.

Also, this isnt standard play with low pp's at all for me.

Preflop and flop are very questionable. Other streets are fine.

Off topic....

When I was growing up in poker, "made hand" always meant a 5 card hand (straight or better), but I've heard a pair referred to as a made hand several times this week. When did this transition occur?

I dont know, I just picked it up somewhere I think. I consider a "made hand" in hold'em to be something like a pair or a straight.

For the flop, I fold here 90% of the time.

Also, you dont open raise PP's from CO?

33 is marginal.

I'm 44+ from CO and 33+ from the button.

Is there really that much of a difference between the two in practice? I mean, for the most part, nearly everything that calls you wins if they hit a pair either way, right?

I believe unless you have very good table image and people fold to you regularly, the raise on the flop is bad. You should just let it go and fold.

You're a dog to almost half the deck (74o would be a better hand on this flop) and at 5/10 you're rarely outplaying an opponent into laying down a pair much less a straight if it hits.

Don't do that. They aren't in the same category.

Ask around. Find people with 200K+ hands in PokerTracker and you will see there is more than a slight difference between 22 and 33, 33 and 44, 44 and 55. Also check pokerroom's EV stats.

What i meant was that if you play in a game were raising 33 preflop from the CO isnīt correct then raising 44 or 55 for that matter sure as **** canīt be correct...
