Sorry no HH, WPX made some weird change where certain tables don't get ANY HH's now. I preferred their old system where players were named player1 - 10.

Anyways, I am sitting at 50NL (6max) with about $110. Villain #1 to my right is a limpy donk who will limp and then call almost anything preflop. He often min bets (both strong and weak), but will easily give up if his hand is hopeless (most of the time), or will slowplay by just calling a raise if he is strong. I've been raising his limps a lot lately.

Villain #2 I don't have much info on, I missed the hand where he jumped his stack up to $150, so I have no idea how he plays.

Villain #1 limps $0.50 , I raise to $3 with KK from the CO. Button and Villain #2 in the BB call. Villain #1 calls.

Flop is 344 (pot is $12). BB checks, V#1 min bets $0.50. I raise to $10. Button folds, BB calls, V#1 folds.

Turn is an offsuit 9 (pot is $32), BB checks, I bet $18 and he calls.

River is an offsuit Q (pot is $68) and he donks out with a bet of $18.

There's still about $100 left behind in my stack, so if I raise I should probably push (I really hate making a small raise and then puke-folding). But I don't think he will call unless I am beat. I think he probably has something like QdJd, but he called with super deep stacks in a multiway pot from the BB, so he could really have almost anything.

Is there any value in a small or large raise in spots like this?
Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

I just called. Villain showed 65 of diamonds for a 9 on the WTF factor.
