When looking at this hand after from villains point of view, it seems obvious that I had a monster. c/c flop, c/r turn, bet strong river… how can I play this better when I don’t have the initiative from preflop…maybe a donk bet flop? I’ve found that situations where I hit monsters without the initiative are much tougher since I don’t want to show too much strength with c/r but I don’t really like donking out either.
