So I'm trying some 6-max $10NL... mostly just for the sh!ts of it but also 1) to help with my 3-bet aggression (which I can then carry to my FR play) and 2) 'cause it gets me into more post-flop situations for practice.

SOWHATTHEFUCKISTHE10CENTINTO2.50POTFLOPDONKBETBULL SHITLOLAMENTS?!?!?

I swear this sh!t was going off left and right. PFR to a flop pot say $1.50, then the OOP donk bets into me for a f-ckin dime. WTF??? Is this a "Lemme dare you to raise me so i can 3-bet the sh!t out of you" bet? Is this some 6-max special code bet that I missed in the Sauce posts? Or is this a "I'm too f-cking lazy to put in a number so I just click the bet button" bet?

What does this sh!t mean and how do I get it to stop p!ssing me off?!?

I think that now and then it's a "please raise me" bet, but not very often. I think it's usually a weak-to-nothing hand hoping for a fold or a cheap card. More often than not, they'll fold if you show real strength, and then you note the exceptions....at least at 10nl FR.

I consider these a check. It's almost never a big hand, so I c-bet and almost always 2nd barrel on the turn if I get called. If they reraise, I consider it a 3-bet.
Check out my self-deprecation here!

ok, so >1/25 times they win the pot there and then. +EV. And occasionally someone gets aggro against their set with their TPTK, also +EV. Don't knock it too much....
