The Donkiest KK Ever?

[Big_Jim]

This is a hand that I played a long time ago that I was just thinking about.

Real good Live $2/$5 game. 10 handed. Buy in is capped at $200, but stacks are quite a bit bigger.

Donkzilla is UTG + 1 ($400)
Donkerello is MP1 ($600)
Hero is BB ($550)

Both donks in this hand have a tendancy to call down with fairly weak hands. They will play any A and any two suited from any position. The table has been pretty passive, and I have not yet seen them face a substantial raise, so I am unsure of their calling range. The hands that they have been winning pots with have been pretty bad (when limping in), and they have not been semi-bluffing much, if at all. They have also been calling on the river and mucking their cards quite a bit.

Both players have been known to slow play frequently.

I think that I got PF right.

Am I just seeing monsters over the bed here?

How much (if at all) does the crappy $200 cap affect your decision?

well, it is def a factor that pushes me towards checking the flop (only debatable decision)...

Seems like after 400+ posts, I'd be able to distinguish an interesting hand from a boring one. Guess not.

The $200 cap drastically influenced my decision in this hand. I knew that if I bet out strong on the flop (my default play against decent opposition) I wouldn't be able to put that back in my stack, and I really wanted to wait for a good spot to take all of their chips.

Anyway, Donkzilla flips 98o and Donkerello flips 96s. MHIG.

I proceed to value bet the hell out of them in future hands.
