never folding here reads or no reads , not with a pocket pair at this sort of stack to pot.. Given opponents stack he will more often than not stack off with over pairs,top pair and overcard flush draws etc...
dont mind calling to donkbet non picture flops if we whiff a set, although that will only happen 30% of the time , or you can check a low flop and if opponent checks behind and the turn is a non picture then stabbing here is ok imho..
3 betting pre is a little more high variance given pot to stacks as its a near pot committing re-raise size and you need villain to fold 65%+ , if they are tight its right on the borderline as to if its +cEV.. If 3betting someone who has upto now folded a great deal to re-raises then bear in mind given stack sizes he may well of started to tighten his raising range and vice versa maybe he will be getting sick of folding to 3bets and he"ll make a stand, so be prepared to gamble and get those chips in..

Thank-you so far for feedback...as ever differening opinions which is great, plenty to get my teeth into and I always love the in depth thinking behind it all. Something I"m trying to bring into my game more and more.
OK...
I called the flop with the full knowledge if no 5 I"m leaving it well alone.
Dilemma 2 -
Flop is jc 4c 5h
BINGO...
Now what. How do i get maximum without letting the flush hit, or should I not be concerning with the flush?
Pot is 2750, I have around 15k he has 16k odd. Again no reads on his c-betting patterns or folding to c-bets etc.
AMRN:
having hit nirvana, i hate checking on this board.... if he has a flush draw, i don"t want him getting a free card, and if he has QQ, KK, or AJ, I want him to get his stack in before the board gets even wetter and he opts for caution.....
I donk lead here, but make the lead only around a third of the pot.... 1) this makes it look like we are giving ourselves space to get away cheaply, and 2) it gives him room to bluff raise in the knowledge that he has enough behind to fold if we shove.
WYoung83:
Donk leading is great when floping a set on board like this imo... It just looks so weak, and if he has top pair or over pair (which is exactly the reason you should flat call, and not 3 bet pre BTW) then hes likely wanting to protect against our possible flushdraw.
The money is going in either way with his overpair or top pair, and if he folds to your donk bet, then you were never going to get paid ayway.
Waz1892:
I did indeed lead out for 1250 into a 2750, expecting to at least get called, and then to shove any card unless it was a club.
He folded! So what he had when he raised pf no idea.
Was my 1250 bet too much?
I do find it hard when in the blinds with low pairs, seemingly always getting into trouble!
But a good result in this hand?..Could I have got more?
