Playing a fish who donk bets..........

edited October 2010 in The Poker Clinic
Right this guy was a right little cod!

I hit this flop real good and he donk bets!

What's the best way to play this guy??

Do you just call and let him hang himself or raise it up possibly scaring the fish away??

    RAISE

    If he's betting properly, by all means flat him, but you need to get some money in the middle! an 8p bet into 70+ is pathetic, teach him to man up. Make notes too, whether he flats your reraise, reraises you, or folds- you have better information on what that 8p bet means, and have a better idea what to do next time. Reraising is almost never going to happen, and he'll probably flat you more often than not.

    I might reraise to between 40/50p, they're not normally good enough to read between the lines and think a small bet is begging to be called, he's more likely to think it's cheap enough to play. Then you're reeling him in even more ;)

    Don't you just love the min bet!!!

    This is the same guy!

    At first I was worried he had a rag ace so i slowed down, then he min bet me so I took it he never had the ace.

    I would just flat in the first hand. He cant have much!

    (obv they don't need much to stack off at this level sometimes, but they don't stack off with ace high everytime)

    Just flat, and move through the gears on turn and river.
