Hello, There's no question here so i'll do my best to give some sort of answer.

I like the raise preflop obviously and I think the three bet on the flop was good also. With this 3-bet you will still probably be called by any flush draw and overcards, but because you were not reraised, I would hope that indicated that no-one had a 6.

After the Jack came and SB donkbet I would have still raised this. If you were ahead on the flop the Jack should change nothing, This also helps you to protect your hand to overcards, eg KQ. If SB just calls this raise you may get a free showdown on the river. If SB raises we may be beat and may have to fold.

The river I think a check behind or a call is fine. If the SB checks and then raises after you bet you may need to fold, don't give them that chance.

I'll be interested to see what others have to say about this hand, the donkbet on the turn has me a bit stumped, after the 3-bet by hero, SB would check/raise a monster?


Hi Backcushion,

I agree with Chazza about the turnraise. Your hand is still very strong and so you can raise for value.
If you get 3-bet you get around 16:1 (or 18:1 if BB coldcalls) so you have to call again. Calling the river for one bet in such a big pot is needed as well.
If you raise the turn and only get called you should valuebet the river as well. The K doesn't have to have helped anyone so bet against a J or even the 3.
Against 2 bets you can fold. :)
