Donk bets (3) - Multiway Spots

by MiiWiin

When you find yourself in a multiway pot, donk bets are often a necessity, but you should be well aware of what you are trying to achieve with them and how the plan for later looks like. This time we discuss close spots out of position - spots in which you have to handle your donk bets with care.

In some questions the donk bet has already been made for you and the question is more how you will react to your opponent's reaction to your donk bet. Those are spots you can certainly avoid in your game if you just skip the donk bet, but as this is a quiz about donk bets and how to use them in theory, the are just a prerequisite.

Good luck!
