 In each of these hands let's assume that our opponent is not good, but we have the read that he likes to donk into you with weak hands on dry boards. Either that, or he's unknown.

$0.25/$0.5 No Limit Holdem
6 players
Converted at weaktight.com

Stacks:
UTG ($45.02)
UTG 1 ($31.33)
CO ($45.95)
Hero ($62.44)
SB ($61.65)
BB ($236.72)

Pre-flop: ($0.75, 6 players) Hero is BTN
1 fold, UTG 1 calls $0.5, 1 fold, Hero raises to $2.5, 2 folds, UTG 1 calls $2

Flop: ($5.75, 2 players)
UTG 1 bets $2, Hero raises to $6, UTG 1 folds

Final Pot: $13.75

Hero wins $13.27 ( won $4.77 )
UTG 1 lost -$4.50

$0.25/$0.5 No Limit Holdem
5 players
Converted at weaktight.com

Stacks:
UTG ($50.00)
CO ($46.95)
Hero ($55.47)
SB ($49.50)
BB ($48.88)

Pre-flop: ($0.75, 5 players) Hero is BTN
2 folds, Hero raises to $2, 1 fold, BB calls $1.5

Flop: ($4.25, 2 players)
BB bets $2, Hero raises to $6.5, BB folds

Final Pot: $12.75

Hero wins $12.34 ( won $3.84 )
BB lost -$4.00

The following hand, I think I should have called the flop - donk is often looking for information with that weak donk lead, so why don't we give him the opposite info he's looking for so that he might fire again on the turn.

$0.25/$0.5 No Limit Holdem
4 players
Converted at weaktight.com

Stacks:
CO ($52.87)
Hero ($77.16)
SB ($42.25)
BB ($43.60)

Pre-flop: ($0.75, 4 players) Hero is BTN
1 fold, Hero raises to $2, 1 fold, BB calls $1.5

Flop: ($4.25, 2 players)
BB bets $2, Hero raises to $8, BB folds

Final Pot: $14.25

Hero wins $13.84 ( won $3.84 )
BB lost -$4.00

Which is essensially what I was trying here, but spoon reckons I should have raised due to the flop texture (2-tone, semi-coordinated).

$0.25/$0.5 No Limit Holdem

Stacks:
UTG ($43.00)
Hero ($50.80)
CO ($25.02)
BTN ($33.07)
SB ($46.80)
BB ($50.25)

Pre-flop: ($0.75, 6 players) Hero is UTG 1
1 fold, Hero raises to $2, 2 folds, SB calls $1.75, 1 fold

Flop: ($4.5, 2 players)
SB bets $2, Hero calls $2

Turn: ($8.5, 2 players)
SB bets $4, Hero calls $4

River: ($16.5, 2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $7.06, SB folds

Final Pot: $23.56

Hero wins $22.74 ( won $7.68 )
SB lost -$8.00

OF COURSE, if I start raising whenever I have air, and calling when I have top pair, that's horribly exploitable to a good player - I realize this. So please bear in mine we're assuming shallow-thinking opponents.

Hand 1 I like.

Hands 2+3 are both horrible imo, you fold out all worse hands. Your hand has sd value and raising loses money because he only ever calls with better.

Hand 4 I think you should just raise this co-ordinated flop

 most are fine. The TT hand i might not raise because we have SD value. The second AQ hand im raising because there is a FD out there and bad villains love to donk bet small with their FD's to see the next card cheap. The AJ hand where you have TPGK, the board is relatively dry so i think you can call the flop and keep villain in the hand with worse.

 dont raise hand 2 because you get called by all better hands and fold all worse hands

raise hand 4 because you flopped the nuts
My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.

 TT hand, if I call the flop, should I be prepared to call a second barrell in most cases? How worried should we be of being bluffed off the best hand in later streets?
