    Default 25nl, JJ and donking with a boat

    Just was sort of an in the moment thing where I was like "Hmm this seems like a cool spot to donk" Just jam over the 3bet or give some rope?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (9 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    SB ($39.65)
    Hero (BB) ($36.55)
    UTG ($2.70)
    UTG+1 ($36.75)
    MP1 ($4.45)
    MP2 ($16.80)
    MP3 ($22.25)
    CO ($24.65)
    Button ($39.90)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with J, J
    UTG calls $0.25, UTG+1 calls $0.25, 4 folds, Button raises to $1.50, 1 fold, Hero calls $1.25, 2 folds

    Flop: ($3.60) A, J, A (2 players)
    Hero bets $1.60, Button raises to $4.50, Hero is excited

    what you need to look at is if you can get the guy all in very easily by calling
    by the looks of it, you're either going to 3b or donk the turn again because you are semi-deep

    first of all, he's not 3bing, he's raising
    you're going to be 3bing, and you're not shoving you're 3bing small to like 12ish?

    now it depends on your opponent and what will look stronger to him
    if he's a donk he won't really notice if you flat and donk the turn again
    if he's a smart player then he'd expect you to flat and donk the turn with good hands and might make an odd fold with a bad ace
    although he might make an odd fold with a bad ace if you 3b

    so I'd rather c/r in this spot since now it's not odd for me to lead the turn it doesn't look like a slowplay

    reraise to 18, shove is overkill imo. id just c/r flop anyway, i dont like the donk since he will fire flop alot.
    Jman: every time the action is to you, it's an opportunity for you to make the perfect play.

    Lighting sweet moneys on fire.
    I'd give him some room to bluff and make it $12.
