    Horrible situation but one of them you really couldn't do much about I wouldn't donk lead as your only really going to get reads on his hand via his bet sizing IMO and also i hate donk leads majority of the time anyway. Only consolation is he could easily have turned up with 77 88 99 here but all in all just unfortunate that his bad play got lucky

    Firstly use some paragraphs if you can mate. Walls of text are harder to read. :)

    Unless I've seen this person limping other hands I'm normally very dubious about what they are up to. Its not uncommon for someone with a big hand to limp it in if they have short stacks to act after them hoping they shove over their limp where they may not shove against a raise.

    Flush draw is possible that he is calling for, but often people less likely to chase a flush draw on a paired board cus you could be drawing dead already. Don't think you played it badly, but as likely that flush draw is only hand you beat other than a smaller PP maybe you could have got off it when your donk lead was called.

    Will post once I've caught my breath, commas next time plz :)

    I don't really like the donk lead either, I'd rather just c/c. I don't even think it's a mistake to decide you can't be bothered with TPNK out of position in a limped pot and c/f.

    im sorry i did say my gramma is awfull dunno where to put full stops commas etc yes i am thick ya could say easy to do but i cant

    Your grammar may be poor, but you could still make some effort to space out your posts a bit. Just hit the return key when you stop for breath. Even if the paragraphs / punctuation were in wrong places it would be easier to read than those walls of text

    Its a tough spot oop here. Think I prefer c/c flop. Leading here is not really a donk bet btw. Don't like your reasoning for leading flop and certainly turn, but leading may be ok

    River is a clear c/f v unknown imo

    For the use of fullstop and commas just consider what you are saying as if you were speaking it aloud. If you would take a small breath or pause then add a comma, and if you got to the end of a point where you'd pause a little more then a full stop. For paragraphs that can be more up to the writer when they fit in, but normally if you change to  new topic or are making a new point etc you can add a paragraph.

    Little on the simple side that and I'm no expert, but that is some of the reasons you may use them. Words that can often fit with commas in sentances can tend to be, and, as and which. Few more than that, but might help break up your writing a little if nothing else. :)

    take no notice of english professors!!

    With tpnk I would check fold as random man could have a 6 or any other combo to beat you -oop.

    Not risking much with stack size. wait for a better time!

    Hi Gracie,
    He was only offering advice and good advice at that. He did actually read it and gave his view too. It's very true that if you expect people to read it and help you to learn then you should try to lay it out in reader-friendly way...a wall of words hurts the brain at times......but i'm sure he took it in good heart...all the best...

    Yeah Gracie, I meant no offense to him at all. I merely pointed out that walls of text are hard to red and some people will plain not even bother to answer then faced with a wall of text that is hard to read without losing your place. So when he answered to say he ddn't know when best to put in puncuation and paragraphs I just gave him some tips that he is free to use, or not. But that if he does willl make it easier for others to read and to give him the answers he is looking for from his post.

    Only trying to help, and nothing more was meant from it. :)
