CB this flop?

UTG 29.53% / 6.41% / 1.19
MP3 49.46% / 10.75% / 2.80

I normally don't CB with two pre-flop callers and an Ace on the board. Now I'm starting to think that I played this weak tight.

His donk bets were giving me odds to stick around. I figured someone was slow playing.

How would you play this?

I think there's still a reasonable chance youre ahead on this flop, that min-donkbet could mean anything. I would raise to about pot-size on the flop, and check-behind on the turn.

You're screwed on the flop. One of these two has an A. If not, then one has a K. Possibly both have one and will have a kicker duel. If you had wanted to find out, make a raise on the flop. About 40% of the pot would tell you for sure.

Let the ladies go and live to fight another day.

Great board to CB on, especially with that retarded donk bet from MP. Raise that clown to full pot. If he raises, then you fold. Those lame minimum bets are almost always underpairs or overcards.

Uh, raise more preflop or don't reraise?

jenson · #6 10-06-2005, 09:03 AM

-Skeme-, what do you suggest my pre-flop raise should be?

It's almost 1 1/2 times the size of the pot. Raise much more pre-flop and only better hands call, no? Maybe not with these donks I guess.

Anyone else think the pre-flop raise is too small?

Thanks,
jenson

easy re-raise. pot the flop, if called you're dead to another queen. I don't mind the PF raise, you don't want to raise too much as you still want action, but that all depends on how the table is being played. If 2 dollar raises are common, then you probably should have raised more like 3-4.

I'm sorry, I misread the hand. I thought this was $.25/$.50 and both opponent's limped. Raise is alright.
