50nl...facing donk river bet

edited April 2012 in The Poker Clinic
Obviously villain is a very very good player so left the name in because hopefully they dont mind but also think it is important to this decision.

we have been sat together across 4-5 tables for about 5-10 minutes and he has 3 bet me a lot.  we have played 2 hands of note.  the first hand i open from middle position with JJ and he 3bets from the bb.  i flat the 3 bet and flop is AJ5.  he fires all three barrels and i call down in position (he shoves river) and he shows 66 repping a flush on the river.  the second hand i have 10 10 and open in middle position, he 3bets from the bb.  he cbets an 8 high flop and i flat again.  turn is a 10 and he checks to me.  i bet turn and shove river and he calls both showing A8 suited.

then this hand happens.

    No 3bet pre this time then, Coxy super aggro loose n tilty lol, id say he has u beat this time n value bets, id still call.

    think this is usally a fold but given the last few hands I might be tempted to flick in the call.

    like coxy doesn't always have flushes here but he usually has hands that beat us.

    having looked at it again I don't really like the size of your turn bet.

    sigh fold whats he bluffing here with ? could easily be a flush or even a 68 that got there

    call, probs pay him off or not 50/50

    don't think there's any value in raising this spot often enough

    im calling this off esp with previous. would this be too big a donk bet to be a blocker?
  • edited April 2012
    yh this is never ever a blocker

    thanks for that sir, just working through hands . i need help at nl50 :-(

    sorry I mean I don't think coxy is someone who would do that as a blocker.  like its either for value or a bluff

    he may turn up with something like A9s or J9s and be turning his hand into a bluff but I don't see why he would block bet v a reg.

    bet 4 on flop, bet 8-9 on the turn fold this river.


    if you think that coxy always leads draw completing rivers then call with some portion of the top part of yoru range. The size of your calling range should be determined by how often you think he is doing this as a bluff vs you.

    I concur.

    I think the question is: Does CoxyLBoro really float out of position on the flop, float out of position on the turn, then lead out to rep the flush on the river? I don't think he does. I actually don't think that he keeps check-calling on a flush draw either. It looks to me that he's trying to rep that line and hoping you'll put him on either the nuts or a bluff. i.e. He's polarising his range. He probably has you squarely on an overpair and wants more value than he might get by check-calling or check-raising.

    If I was to stick my neck out I'd say something like: "If he doesn't have a set here, I'll eat my own arm!"... but I don't stick my neck out very often, so I'm not saying that.

    I'm in danger of looking a pillock there, as it could so easily turn out to be more straightforward than that... but I think it makes alot of sense so I decided to say so.

    Cue derision from my peers.

    I would call with history and cos his line confuses me, but fold may well be best
