Unbelievable. Yeah, you want donks to do that, but c'mon the Poker Gods hate me on that site. I have digressed. What I wanted to post about is a move I get quite often on Poker Room that I saw rarely on other sites (Poker Stars, Party, Paradise). Here is the scenario. Typically I have AK or AQ and I hit TPTK on the flop. In each case (now that I think about it) I am OOP with 1-2 other callers. I fire out a 2/3 pot sized bet all the way to the river and get smooth called by the button or CO. And then my 2/3 pot bet gets raised HUGE on the river every frickin time (at least 3x). I know the general rule is "you are beat" and I have folded all of them except the most recent one because I got sick of this abuse and didn't care. Turns out the guy had nothing and I took down a huge pot. So, I was wondering if you guys have seen this move a lot and whether is it worth calling these bets down or did I just so happen to catch the one guy who was bluffing...thoughts?
It totally depends. Post some hands, this is way to generic to give thoughts.
