Preflop: Hero is SB with T :spade:, 6 :spade:
Hero raises 60 to 100, BB calls

Flop: (180) 8 :club:, 2 :spade:, 2 :club:
BB bets 120, Hero calls

Turn: (420) 7 :club:
BB bets 160,
Hero raises 1040 to 1180 ( (AI))

30-35 hand in the match. I was being very agressive and I won most pots without showdown. Had been floating a good percentage of his cbets and I felt he was getting frustrated and he started to get more agressive preflop in the last couple of hands, winning the last 4 preflop.

That is his first donkbet in the match, and I think he would be check - raising his strong hands, since I was c-betting a lot. I felt his range was something like overcards, weak-eight and maybe flush-draws. I don't think he would have overpairs often, since he would 3-bet them preflop. I call here willing to bet lots of turns.

Thoughts?

With your reads and vs a lot of opponents here I rerase flop... so few cards in his range hit this flop and I don't see a reason for letting him look at another card here...

will forward to the other judges tho.. since my HU game doesn't seem solid :)


Thanks for your reply Hlynkinn.

The reason I didn't reraise the flop was because I don't think I would have good fold equity. When he donk bet like that I expect him to be shoving any 8, FD and pair to a reraise and maybe strong aces, which he would at least call IMO with the current dynamics. Against eights and FD we will have much more FE in many turn cards.

Of course I could fold, but I don't like to fold IP in paired flops, since most of the time it will be air vs air situation and it is easy to exploit them with position. In this case I think his donk-bet range is fairly wide.

Actually I played terribly the turn. In the heat of the moment I shoved expecting to gain FE against 33-77, 8x. From the 4 options I had that was the worst:
1st: Fold -> we have nothing here and it is not so likely for him to second barrel with lots of airs.
2nd: Bet 400 - 500 -> I think we will have decent FE against small PP and weak eight and some air he could have in his range.
3rd: Float again -> this turn is not so great to bluff at, it's not an overcard and he can call with many FD and ship lots of pairs, since I am playing very agressive and could do this with 2 overs + FD. But there are so many scare cards to come against his range that it may be good to call here and bluff him on the river.
4th: Shove turn -> We will have probably the same FE as betting 400, but we are risking much more, worse option.

So what do you think is the best play in the turn?
Or better, do you think a float in the turn is profitable?

Hi all,

I feel people just call us too often in these spots. So I would just fold to his 2nd barrel on the turn. Preflop I make it 80 also.

BTW I would always float this board, over+bdsd+bdfd
