Mid stakes dyms. Top set facing second donk bet. How much to re-raise level 1
Ok my whole logic of a smaller re-raise on the flop was there where no draws except for gutshots so im mostly looking to keep both opponents in the hand therefore getting MORE vaue. However once the second donk lead comes in and im still sitting with the stone cold nuts im now wanting MAX value for my hand. As its a dym getting max value here can be the differance between an easy cash and a grind to the end.

Xpussy has poss got a Q in his hand but is scared of the A. A raise might just push him off. Just hope for a Q on the river and you'll be in!
I could be completely wrong but that's my read. Be good to find out how you got on.
BTW you were doing ok in a tourney this morning which started at 2a.m.
How did you end up? Watched for a bit.
Raise to 500 to go.
In Response to Re: Mid stakes dyms. Top set facing second donk bet. How much to re-raise level 1:
tommy drinking during the day in this heat is bad for you mate it must of got to your head theres no diamond draw lol but yeah raise to 450-500 don and jam the river
I'd say shoving 400-500 in at this level, on this board, will NOT be looked up. Don is trying to get added value not scare the bejeezus outta his victim/s?
If victim's got QQQ then I'm prepared to stand corrected.
Villain is either:
Betting small to make you flip raise
Putting out blocker bets
Making badly sized value bets
Making badly sized bluffs
We are huge. A raise will make:
Option 1 shove
Option 2 call a lot of the time
Option 3 call some of the time
Option 4 is never calling no matter if you trap or not
Bet your own hands in DYMs, make them make mistakes. A lot of people still do not know how to play DYMs optimally, plenty of mistakes happen.
u have the nuts, if you are playing donks bet,bet,bet
IF NOT,why not?
