BTW, this is basically just anecdotal evidence backing me up, if it is or is not correct in theory I'd like to know more/why etc
Sorry to be nitpicky, but u aren't 3-betting their donk, you are raising it. I've seen a few ppl make this error recently (altho it's really just semantics since most ppl know what u mean). Other than that i'm with u, i will raise a weak donk lead as the PFR 100% of the time. But raising a weak donk lead is different to say, c-betting, firing again on the turn and being c/r'ed tho, at which point it's likely that only the very top of ur range is good, sans a good read anyways. One shows a lot of strength, regardless of how much we want to believe we're just being played back at.
There's only one system. Bet. Lose. Borrow. Steal. Lose. Take the drugs. Lose. Prison. Death.
