10NL BB flush vs UTG shove

[davisrei]

Why are you not betting the river?

Wasn't consciously thinking this at the time, but not betting the river gives my opponent a chance to donk with AA, KK, or AQo, whereas betting the river might make him fold anything that has me beaten. (Unlikely though, given his calling my turn bet.)

But the real reason was that I was reeling from him actually calling the turn bet, and wanted to get some distance to see what he would do on the river.

Spoon, you're fucking awesome.

Only thing I wanted to pull up is that isn't donking - when a fish "donks" it's when they lead without initiative. So if you raise and a fish calls out of position and then leads flop not giving you the opportunity to c-bet, that's donking.

Great thread this
