Were you worried he wouldn't bet the turn or is this donk bet standard for 6 max? Without a read, it seems a check raise somewhere might work.

I usually go for a check-raise on the turn on these sorts of hands. I don't know that microposter's line is necessarily a leak, though. In 6-max you find yourself HU a lot and its okay to mix things up more than you would in multiway pots.

I think the donk-bet makes sense if you feel the 6 putting 3 to a straight on board might cause the agressor to not bet this turn.

I've been finding a lot of opponents fold to the turn c/r at 3/6, so I don't mind the donk bet.

Then wait for the river to CR. Depending on the board, I might wat to the river.

This always scares me. Wouldn't a river check through be terrible? I've had this situation come up recently a few times and not sure what my best move is. I usually just c/r the turn so I don't miss anything.

PS. HU challenge was fun. I think that's where I saw this in the last few days.

I'm not going to c/r the flop because that'll freeze him up if he doesn't have the A.

My thinking was sort of the same on the turn... I could go for the c/r, but he also might check behind without the A. I bet and hope to 3-bet the turn.

River: Ok, my turn plan didn't exactly work. Better just bet out and hope to get raised. Joy!
