Couple things about this hand:
villian is a donk.
Pre: might have folded to avoid such trouble but it's 1:11 and i am deep enough.
Flop: kinda good, narrowing the field.
Turn: ugly. i still want a showdown but make it cheap. i bet small for pot control. not really giving odds but i might seem weak.
River: well i meant a blocking bet but it did not really work out.
i was going for a cheap showdown but i ended up burning third of my stack.
how do you play this?
i am thinkig about checking the turn but i did not see a road to showdown that way. giving this up would have been better after all and i shouldn't have gone for a showdown.
still i would welcome some thoughts on this.
