No data mined on these folks. Over a small amount of hands SB is quite LAG, BB is taggish, and UTG is a donator. How bad is the flop call, how about the turn fold? Thanks.

Why not raise PF?

[witeknite]

Yeah, you're right. I should have done that. Mistake 1.

Pretty easy flop raise I think. Given how you played, turn card is awful, and good fold. I would call down most others though. I also think I like a flop raise, especially considering the preflop limp.

Raise preflop.

Raise the flop. You have top pair.

[witeknite]

That's 2. Is the turn number 3? Let's go for the hat-trick.

They way you played it I would not raise the turn. The hand plays differently if you raised preflop or on the flop though.

Raise flop. Then bet and fold to a c/r on the turn.

Without trying to sound repetitive from the other posts, I think the best way to play aginst a donator is to raise this hand( along with any other suited ace) preflop bet flop hopefully 3 handed or less and if BB is still around for the turn as is the UTG donator, then you choose to bet and fold to a raise or check and give them a free card, which is weak. So bet turn and fold to a turn raise is the best play I feel. Thoughts?
