[Closed] FL 0.5/1 SH - A8o

Seems too passive with no draws. You have no iniative so I would fold this at flop, latest turn. Call river if you get there..

We must consider our equity here. If he's using the PS charts This isn't such a bad flop for us and we have nearly 40% equity so folding is out of the question! The turn gives us a gutshot and although we're only getting 1:5 we still have 35% equity. Also there's the chance that he'll give up after the turn and check behind the river giving us a freeshowdown.

I think the real question is whether to raise the river or not, as he's not that showdown bound is he really gonna call with a lower PP /any pair? Hmmm... i want someone else to give this thread a look ♦

@terrorblade

you mean a checkraise on the river?

i dont like the checkraise there. His Bet on the River is often a valuebet and i dont think, that many players valuebet a better ace (like AK,AQ)there. Maybe he bets something like 66,77...and imo are that the only hands we have beat and which are going to call a checkraise. Weak hands with showdown value most players checkbehind in this spot...hands without showdown value won't call any more if we checkraise.

But i like a donk since he can call many hands that are worse than our midpair and i guess he would also call many better hands, since we could have a flush here(i dont know if u would play your draw aggressively against him). My problem with the donk is, that we have to fold, if he raises our donk on the river and i dont know if i can do that....but i guess that would be the right play. So if we don't donk fold to often in such spots and show him also a flush from time to time he cannot exploit our donk

Hi ratex,

I agree with schnup07. A donkbet is better for the reasons schnup07 named.

Is donkbeting against such an agressive player profitable?
Because I've watched him and he always shows a lot of agression with his draws!

In this situation it is.
Here he 3-bet you so his main range are high aces and made hands. Non of them will raise the river very often. A draw is just not the most likely hands here.
