    Hi, doing this because i've never posted a hand before and wanted to see if this was the right way to do it.
    Don't think it's worked.
    Picked this hand because i thought it was quite interesting and i have a theory about donk bets on the flop being 2nd pair or flush draws on the micro stakes

    There is ALOT of idiots out there who will min-bet flush draws to try and see a cheap turn/river and they will min-bet turn again even after you re-raise them.

    And they'll also call your turn re-raise without odds and hit their draw.

    Min-betting FTW.

    Thanks, and no prob about the PM. As far as the stack sizes, i don't know why they haven't shown but we were both on about £50 at the start of the hand.

    i got the stack sizes aswell so i dunno wat happened there??

    as 4 the donk bet it means a
    can mean a few things at micro stakes.. obv a min donk bet is usually pretty weak so i usually disregrd it and c bet as i wud have if they checked.

    When ppl donk for like 3/4 pot i think it has more to do with the texture of the board, it prob does mean 2nd pair or weaker on a 48 A rainbow but i have learnt from experience to be wary wen someone donk bets a Q 10 8 board, this hits their range harder and it is obv down to the individual opponent as to wat i will do.

    playing back at the donk bet i tend to raise on disconnected flops with or without it. On a more connected flop i i will smooth call with anything from top set to air then play the turn as thisbalances the range we are calling
    with it puts the villain in a tough spot...

    its a weird concept because i genuinely very rarely donk bet. I also notice that other winning players at this level are rarely if ever donk betting... i consider it poor play.
