No worries, to put it bluntly I' m a donk - I've only been playing for a year casually and so I have an incomplete knowledge of poker with regards to ranges, lines and appropriateness of betting.
- what range do you put him on for calling the flop?
I suppose I'd say I put him on an ace or a kq, aj, aq. Taking that into consideration, it really is a horrific donk bet =/ - Point noted.
This hand is about a month or two old, but at the time I think I believed that they were much looser than I do now, so I may have put them on a king like kj, kq - At the time I would have been betting to make them fold if they hadn't hit the ace, so I must have watched them bet-fold in previous hands (at least 4-5 in the same fashion; That's my general rule to what constitutes some type of pattern).
I'm expecting middle pair to fold that board, or any single pair other than aces with a high kicker.
jyms: I agree - I will have to do more reading up on ranges as it keeps coming up frequently in discussion; I know the basic concept but nothing beyond it, so I've no doubt that I'll be doing myself a great disservice by remaining ignorant.
I'll search the forums for a good read, but are there any books in particular that cover this topic? I prefer to read the old fashioned way, as staring at a computer screen for a long time is no good for me.
Thank-you for all your replies; I will take as much of it on board as I can and apply what is suggested here when applicable.
