I'm in a funk, 100NL line check please

Villain is typical 33/8/1.3 donk. The hand right before this he open pushed KK on low flop in 3bet pot and was called by 2 villains. His KK held up. Good for him.

Villain was 41/14/2.5 donk/maniac. On river I bet b/c I knew he would if I checked and it would put me in a shitty spot.

Hand 1

I don't like firing turn because it looks like villain is on a draw and will call anyway. I hate river because villain's draw completed.

This guy seems like a station, bad player. He has no idea what you are trying to rep and he's just playing his hand. Don't bluff this type of guy. Think valuetown. Cbets are ok, but this is a bad spot to triple barell.

Hand 2


I don't get your commentary. SB is first to act on river.

Commentary doesn't match hand in hand 2. But what you posted looks fine vs this guy.

Hand 1 I don't double barrel, and there's a pretty good chance I don't even cbet here.

Gotcha. Yeah I thought I was OOP. I guess I was actually leading this hand. Should I check behind on the river after getting calls on flop & turn? Is worse ever calling 3 barrels in hand #2?

This guy will, I like it, although it's really marginal.

dont like betting either river

Hand 1 - yah I don't even know if raising pre is necessarily good. I guess its ok depending on villain. This is a bad flop to cont bet though, too coordinated.

Hand 2 - you def needs reads on him calling you down light to bet this river. Otherwise checking through is fine.

TBH I've probably been playing 25NL too long now. I would say that betting here vs villain with these stats is probably marginally proitable for me. But I get called by QT Q9 98 J8 Jx ect...

1) I wouldn't c bet this board but i might fire turn and shutdown on river.

2) I honestly like it even if it is thin. I can see myself doing the same. River's a definitely a b/f though.
