Donk Doubles Me Up


Dozen orbits villian has won big pot calling a re-raise from AQ with K10 and hitting straight on river.
He moved in often on harmless looking flops and pre-flop with limpers raised to 20plus BBs if called bet any flop hard. Good aggressive play but perhaps just too often.
He's in the BB early bet 18c I have AK I flat called hoping our man squeezes to $1.20 as per usual and I' come over the top and scare him away.
Better he squeezes extra hard and goes all-in for $12.50ish, insta-call for me given his actions, and I'm over the moon to see him dominated with A8off.
Yay

Why oh Why, but dont stop

This happened 3 time this week, player flops 2 pair on a board with potential flush or straight to be had, checks from early position, I hit a flush twice and straight once v 3 different players on the turn.

Once I made my hand I began betting and they started calling or re-raising in one instance, sure they could make a house on the river but 4 outs unlikely.

Each called to showdown 2 pair on the river having lost quite a bit getting there. I just can't understand slow playing on a dangerous flop, bet and I fold, check and I hit for free and then you bet once the board is even more dangerous. I know they are looking for a raise but there are more player looking for free cards. BET, it works win small not loose big.

Dumb.

Busy 2 weeks

Well I've up and down and up

Brooke $200 just, then it seemed every chasing fish in the world rivered their flush or straight versus me for a week.

Bank roll was down to $130ish at one point, banged away all this week back to $182 so good recovery

Another Class Donk AA-in Pre-flop 10Joff

3c/6c $10 buy-in
Cut off raised to 36c the button calls for 36c I re-raise all-in with AA and the small blind calls with 10J off, golden all the way to the river when the miracle 2 outer hits and my aces are cracked, wow.
Please call again with 10J off versus a big raise, a call and an all-in.
Other than that doing well
$182.67

Zero to hero

I played a bit early evening got involved with donks, raising and re-raising light, I was calling with pot odds catching a little and getting drawn in hands I shouldn't have been in.

I bluffed at a flush played it like I chased and hit (I was putting them on AQ to AA so on the flop low cards with straight and flush potential I decided to rep what hit), pot bet the end to their check, they thought a long long time and called with AA in the pocket, wasn't to bothered to loose that one as I felt they were wrong to call with top pair even AA and if it was anything less they would have folded, some people just cant take letting the bullets go.

I did go head to head with a serial raiser, he squeezed about 6 times in 20 hands, he did it again I had KK and just pushed it in, insta call oh no, A3 off come one, needless to say he hit the Ace. But again calling with A3 off was just not good. He did say as he had an ace he figured I didn't have 2 which is fair enough but any pair above 3s and any good Ace and he's in trouble for his whole stack.

Either way lost about $25, came back for an hour later did great made that back and a bit more, got paid with quad 5s, flop 5 5 10, me 56suited, I bet the pot got called, turn 5 action over, I check they bet the pot, I called hmm, 10 10 or some big pair they limped in, river Q, I bet a weak $1 and get re-raised to $3, so I think go let them wonder and raise to $8 leaving them $1.80 back, they push I call with the nuts and they show 99, not beating a 5, 10 or Q and pockets pairs 10s up.

Won another really nice pot with set of 3s that turned into a fullhouse v 2 opponents both flush chasing and both hitting 3 way all-in I win (man if only they had more money, one jack high and the other K high the ace being on the board).

Bank Roll $157.28
