    Default 100NL two hands against a huge donk

    the guy is 67.5/0.8/0.7 around 130 hands, loose stations and capable of bluffing with air on scary cards. i saw him bluff big a few times on scary board.

    hand 1: he donked out on the turn, should i just flat call or raise to deny his imply odds? if raising, how much to go?

    Hand 1: Must raise here and play for stacks.
    Hand 2: Uhhhh..... I prob c/c

    Hand 1: Agreed -- raise here, play for stacks
    Hand 2: Why is c/c better than c/f here? Is catching a bluff from a flush draw really worth playing against the many many hands in opps range that beat him? Just curious.

    Giving him credit for Jx is absurd.

    Maybe true, but why? In my thinking, his range on the turn is pretty huge given his stats. Also, a set of 3s, 4s, 56, a made nut or near-nut flush, or -hell- 34 are certainly in his range. Is opp getting his chips in more often with air than with one of the above hands?

    the definition of " huge donk" i think is he did call down with air very often. So we cant give him any credit for flop floating though. River is very tough for my decision
