UTG+1 raises to 370, 6 folds, Hero raises to 1,086 and is all-in, BB folds, UTG+1 calls 716

I dont think hes ever folding when I raise, but I cant imagine a good player would raise 4x with anything better than 88 or random broadway hands

"good player" ..why you think he's a good player? UTG1 pfr8 means usually tight range 88- QAofs-, JAsuited-, its a flip imo.

I meant that I could not imagine a good player raising 4.6BB UTG so I think hes more of a recreational player. Considering this I think we can add some lower pocket pairs and random broadway hands like KQ, KJ, QJ to his range. There is 580 chips in the pot and I only have 13bb, so Im leaning towards a push. Also I think we can rule out AA and KK here since betting 4.6x here mostly kills the action from everybody

Donkeys use to opt for strange preflop raise sizes in their nastiness when they think their hand is good but not too good. What they want to Teller you is this: "Hey there I have a pretty strong Hand. But at the same time it is not a Monster. Otherwise I would play my dirty Donkey limping or minraising game. So the reason why I raise that big is that I think I have a right to take the pot but at the same time dont want to see calls or reraises. " I guess that particular Donkey had a Hand like ATs. Therefore easy push.

It’s weird he’s raising that much pre-flop, but I couldn’t get away with AK with my 13bb stack.

Don’t forget we have only 13 hands on him. His stat is unreliable here.

i think to me it looks like a small to medium pair or pretty good ace
i pretty much agree with BrunoFaiduttiFan on the donks thought process so a hand like 77 or 88 would make perfect sense to me
as hes pretty much telling with the bet no overcard on the flop pls!! :f_o: :f_p:
