Title: Just a line check please
Post by: AAroddersAA on December 29, 2013, 09:47:20 AM
This feels kinda bad. Where do you think I get this one wrong (assuming I do). I think I should probably be raising the flop and trying to get it in there. My opponent in the hand s a standard 24/17/3 over about 50 hands. No notes on him.

Anybody finding a fold on the river?

Villain doesn"t have full buy in. Not totally standard, possibly a little rubbish.

A clear raise on the flop for me, diamonds are a huge part of his donking range so you need to work towards getting as much of his stack in by the turn.

Other possible donks:

Ax - if he"s donk/folding then he"s probably not going to barrel off with a weaker made hand. Might as well raise for value now.
QJ/QT/JT - Most likely to be a ridiculous single shot at winning the pot, only putting in any more if he hits.

Unless you"ve seen a particular occurrence where he spews in this spot, I"d be raising.

In this hand I"d throw up a bit on the turn after he calls and then pot control/evaluate river.
