Was this a donk call?
I'm reading HOH and really trying to put villains on ranges and putting them against my pot odds. Is the call on the river a donk move. All I beat is a complete bluff, but he only has to be bluffing about 30% of the time for this to be profitable. Judging from his line I would say this is a bluff at least 50% of the time, especially with the missed straights and flushes on the board. I didn't think opponent was good enough to be value betting anything other than a deuce here and the only deuce I put in his range is A-2 of clubs which I can't give him more than 5-10% of the time here.
But he could have backed his way into any pair here, so I have to give him that. With his limp call I think I have to put missed over cards in his range, at least 20-25%. I think the missed flush draws more than make up for the rest of the hands in his range that I need to make this call.
Plus this makes me look super fishy, which can't be a bad thing.
Villain ran 56/10. I know that a raise here is definitely better. I'm just trying out calling more often when I see a bluff, while not trying to find a bluff in every situation. Inspired by Mcatdog's thread in the mtt section + HOH, even though Harrington probably would call this an easy fold.
