    Default Overpair vs. Donk

    Villain is 59/11 over 72 hands with extremely high aggression frequencies of 65% (71) flop / 75% (21) turn. He has c/r the flop once out of 5 times but it did not go to showdown. I'm sure this will get FPS responses but my reasoning was to make a bet size that he would call with his actual better hands (that I am still ahead of) or get him to spazz RR me. I also made sure that turn would allow for less than pot sized shove. Now I feel screwed with a ton of my stack in (I have $14.25 left on turn)...still c/f? If I call turn he's probably shoving any river with his aggression so far so I feel like I def. have to call river too.

    Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    Hero (SB) ($25)
    BB ($25)
    UTG ($29.56)
    MP ($26.91)
    CO ($27.39)
    Button ($9.98)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with J, J
    UTG calls $0.25, 2 folds, Button calls $0.25, Hero bets $1.75, 1 fold, UTG calls $1.50, 1 fold

    Flop: ($4) 6, 4, 9 (2 players)
    Hero bets $3, UTG raises to $6, Hero raises to $9, UTG calls $3

    Turn: ($22) 9 (2 players)
    Hero checks, UTG bets $7

    I hate your 3bet sizing - shove it

    - I think this guy snap calls you with T9 = easy game

    Yes, your raise to nine on the flop merely sweetened the pot without charging your opponents to draw. You may be beat by trip nines or an underfull here, but you set yourself up to be bluffed by your weak raise.

    Right. I tried setting myself up to be bluffed to allow for even more weaker hands to get it all in with me but when that turn card comes it screws me over.

    i like the flop 3bet. considering hero raised 8x preflop a large 3bet could cause the donk to drop some weak 9x hands. CiB on the flop still allows for a turn shove, and most turns are favorable for shoving on.

    turn i puke and check/fold
