    Default Plz Weigh In

    This hand is in another thread I just made but I'm curious what ppl think about this line. Just had a really good discussion about this with Rav, but he seems to be running like shit as usual so I'd like to hear other opinions.

    Villain just arrived at table :

    - Genitruc sitting in seat 1 with $225.85
    - Tiltmealot sitting in seat 2 with $238.81
    - fewld sitting in seat 3 with $121.26
    - mrlavik sitting in seat 4 with $304.30
    - krrlil sitting in seat 5 with $109.30
    - ribberfors sitting in seat 6 with $181.85 [Dealer]

    Genitruc posted the small blind - $1.00
    Tiltmealot posted the big blind - $2.00
    ** Dealing card to Genitruc:
    fewld folded
    mrlavik folded
    krrlil folded
    ribberfors folded
    Genitruc raised - $7.00
    Tiltmealot called - $7.00

    ** Dealing the flop: :Kd: :Jd:
    Genitruc bet - $14.00
    Tiltmealot raised - $28.00
    Genitruc (decision 1) called - $28.00

    ** Dealing the turn:
    Genitruc checked
    Tiltmealot bet - $35.00
    Genitruc is all in.

    i fold flop just because ur oop and there are way too many cards that screw you, as well as the fact you may be beat already.

    Aslong as he isn't a complete idiot I like this line.

    He either has the nut flush, some weak TP pair and straight draw, or some form of flush draw.

    ISF folding the flop seems dumb

    I actually kinda like your play.

    Without a read on villain this is a tough spot since so many things could be going on here.

    I'd actually pulled the stack-a-donk bluff a few times this session (not vs this villain obv) and had people snap-fold hands they had minraised the flop with.

    The thinking behind the CR on turn is to get him to fold all his bluffs/medium strength pair +draw hands (or to get him to make a terrible call). If I'm crushed I'm crushed.

    Leading the turn is interesting but I'd hate doing it unless I knew villain was weak (lots of cards can come on the river which will be shitty to deal with OOP in a bloated pot).

    With no reads I'd probably just call him down and hope the board doesn't get any uglier. Folding the flop might be weak, but I don't think you're giving up a lot of EV. Won't the turn push get called by all the hands that beat you and fold out everything you beat? Good against combo draws, i guess.

    yeah it'll fold out all hands I beat (unless he makes a stupid call w KxQd or some shit) but that's fine by me since pot is now pretty big and I'll have to see so many river cards.

    Certainly don't like the stack--a-donk. I consider folding to the m/r since you are OOP and bad reverse implied odds. If you think the m/r might be weak or semi-bluff, I don't mind peeling one. But I think when he bets the turn, he's not likely to be semi-bluffing any more - best case scenario he has 1pair+diamond and calls being slightly behind.
