Flopped set on a wet board facing a "donk" bet
99% of the time if I've called a pre flop raise I will check to the original raiser after the flop (there are rare occasions when I'll lead out instead but that's veryoppo dependant).
I came along for the ride here simply because it's early doors & still cheap. I also know that if I do hit I can potentially take down a big pot (fwiw, this is 1st level in a £3.30 DYM).
When the flop comes & I hit my set my intention is to check raise as I'm fairly certain the board's hit the original raiser & even if it hasn't I'm 99% certain that he's gonna bet out anyway. However, with the SB leading out it kinda threw me a bit here. I'm pretty sure I'm ahead here but with the SB leading out & showing some interest in the pot I'm not really sure what to do for the best. I certainly ain't going anywhere but if I flat then I run the risk of the original raiser also flatting and potentially letting someone in on a draw cheaply. If I re-raise does that make me a bigger donk?
What does anyone else do here?

hi there. tbh it would play this hand as stong as possible, yes the donk may call and hit there flush if they have 2 spades but over time you will come out on top. plus some of the time you will pair the board ie full house and the donk wont even see that all tey see is 5 spades and u take the lot.
play stong and u will prosper
i was playing in the £22 b/h i think it was 10.45 start the other night and there was 1 guy who had been raising every hand. he had been lucky and in the first 15 mins he had taken 3 heads. i had aq diamonds i blind were 50/100 and i raised to 300 he called as he had been doing all the time. the flop can 2 3 9 of diamonds. i check. bair in mind the pots only about 750, i check he goes allin for approx 5000 chips i have about 5800 so its an instant call. he had j6 of spades so not only did i knoch him out i got a good bounty on top, i finished 4th that night but it just goes to show that over time if you wait for yuor hand and everyone knows it when they got it thats the time to push and reap the rewards.
def raise and if they fold ohh well wait for the next hand
he has bet 160....
bit funny bet size...
i want to see next card before i go shoving more...
i mean you going to need to know what his next move will be..
maybe he has kk
or qq
or even kq
but if a flush completes where u at?
regards
toby
As it is I decided to raise & this is what happened. Although the original raiser called I got the feeling that he didn't particularly like it & basically confirmed to me that I was ahead. For me, the turn was the easiest play I'll ever make.
In my opinion you were quite lucky here to get paid off, if it was me i would of just flat called the donk bet and let the orginal raiser come over the top, obviously the donk should fold and then you are free to get all your chips in the middle! obviously its a wet board but your all in move should of killed the action so why he called with AQ is beyond me lol you were lucky to get as many chips as you did playing it this way...
Differnt way of playing i guess.
Anyway, to the origional poster, as far as i have read im playing this in a similar fasion, however my raise would always be standard double their bet (just a style i play) i bluff the same way so as a result when im bluffing i am not losing too much and when im not i usually get paid. Simple. I am not going all in on the turn, unless he had KK or QQ i still want him to catch his second pair or his trips (which would of coarse give you that sensationaly well hidden full house)
