1-2 live in my local casino. The table is extremely loose and passive but some guys tend to fold their weak hands when you put pressure on them.
a bunch of limpers, hero raised to $15 with AKo from HJ. 5 limp callers.
flop : Kd Td Th donator ($115) checked, gamb00l( $185) bet $25, fold , fold, hero called, donator called.
turn is a 3h donator bet $20, gamb00l called, hero raised to $100, donator called off all his chips, gamb00l gave a painful look, went into the tank and finally called also.
river is 6h gamb00l insta shoved his last $60, hero had huge confidence in his solid read and folded.
3 way all-in pot.
donator: KQ
gamb00l: 8h9h
gamb00l laughed and took down the big pot !!! and said he called with good pot odds and made a crazy move against a tight player.

What is your interpretation of donk's donk lead on the turn? This looks like a sucker bet with a Ten.

I don't hate flop call, since if you raise you are basically commiting yourself to the pot, and are basically hoping to get a call from KQ. Its also unlikely to get donk off of a draw even if you raise, especially since the pot is getting pretty large. (If donk calls and a diamond, ace or 9 pop up then you can get away from the hand with minimal cost)

I would say that I don't like your raise on the turn, but it really depends on what the donk lead means. I think that multiway against donks in this situation i would rather check call and look for another brick on the river.

And... you can't really fold the river once your in that far.

It's not played that badly. If hero is going to be raising postflop - he needs to be doing it on the flop where the money isn't deep enough yet to be committed.

agree. Given their weak donk bet & call on this blank turn, we must know that we are ahead of their range and that at least one of these guys is FOS. So we just shove & make their life very difficult
Fnord, do you mind just flat calling gamb00l's donk bet on the flop?

So why wouldn't we reraise flop here? Seems like we are just inviting QJ or diamond draws in for excellent value.

Taking one off isn't that terrible of a line. Once we get a clean turn I would just get the money in and pay off the Ten.

After you call the flop, I think you really need to shovel the turn.

Small bets by donks are usually "please don't raise, please don't raise" - bets... or they're not aware of how much money is in the pot
The strengh of a hero is defined by the weakness of his villains.
