Big move 50NL

Opp was kinda shitty 38/18 pseudo-lag, pretty aggressive post, although we hadn't tangled at all beyond the norm. Basically by river I couldn't put that much in his range except for 2pr being b/folded (or blocked) and very rarely a set.

I did feel that this play was v. marginal FWIW, and had he bet $15 I'd have folded.

It does look like a decent spot to turn a made hand into a bluff esp. given his pssy river bet, personally I wouldn't do it vs. 36/18 donkish player though.

I typically raise these weak donks on the flop vs these guys. They are trying to get cheap streets and unless you've been aggro as hell and he's inducing he never donks with a good hand since your almost always Cbetting.

I'd likely call flop and see what he does on turn. the Q is on of the worst cards as a billion stuff is now f'ing up your hand. I'd fold the turn and look for more optimal spots vs. him.

another big problem is that there are way too many 8s in his donking range

on top of it, the trademark of a shitty player is terrible calls. I don't like bluffing really bad players because they call in this spot with their QJ

honestly we need to really know whether he is the stationy I won't give up TP type, or what

I like this if you have bet sizing reads on him (ie: that he'd never bet a strong hand this small on the river) and that he's capable of a fold.

this isnt a good spot to do this, your line will inflate the pot too much.

actually before I've been a proponent of raising flop donks
but then I realized most fish just donk when they hit and it's retarded to bluff fish
