tricky, what is he representing with his donk 5k bet. with no reads i never fold there i go for raise to ~18k fair amount of time in that spot like 35%+ of time


i like the way you played the hand.
flop bet looks good , board is not too draw heavy.
on the turn i only call too because i dont want to fold here, but i want to come cheaply to the showdown, so i`call
if you raise, you raise him of his weaker hands and he still call you with all his better hands, so a raise is not too good here.

yea call is standard,
but i was thinking in raising for balansing ur ranges not like a standard play, just a play -> to keep oponentes out of balance and to put presure on them and make every decision hard for them when they play vs u (u raise with top pair or better, u raise with second pair or just draw and u raise some times with air couse u have position) i agree that raising is not very good here (if u got reraised u got to fold and u loose unnesesery $$) but if u alwaus just call with 2 pair in that spot people can easy make a note on u and bluf u from ur hand with 2/3 pot river bet and giving u hard time to call river
and btw imo in that spot weaker hand will not pay u off on river, nether they will bet again into u on river if they not impruve (and if they bet into u on river they will make hard for u to call that river bet and not making a hero call) so thats all $$ u can get any way,
better hands will call u, but they sure will not bet into u on river without a very strong hand (at least they wont make big river bluf bet ) and u might even sometimes make TT, A9 fold and they are better hands too, and i really want to make QT/T8 same as AdXd fold too in that spot (couse they have so many outs vs me)
