    Default donkstakes, big fold?..

    villain is 59/0/0.3/89hands i haven't seen him bet or raise, but HUD says he has...once...lol.

    $0.02/$0.05 No Limit Holdem
    9 players
    Converted at weaktight.com

    Stacks:
    Hero ($4.57)
    UTG+1 ($8.76)

    MP3 ($10.43)
    CO ($6.82)
    BTN ($2.26)
    SB ($7.99)

    Hero calls $0.05, UTG+1 calls $0.05, 4 folds, BTN calls $0.05, SB calls $0.03, BB checks

    Flop: ($0.25, 5 players)
    SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets $0.15, 1 fold, BTN calls $0.15, SB folds, BB folds

    Turn: ($0.55, 2 players)
    Hero checks, BTN goes all-in $2.06, Hero ??
    LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

    Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

    He'd do this with almost any pair in addition to any king or any 9, we're ahead of most of his range, I call.

    ...Good Question........Where am I?
    Hmm. His stats are weird. Maybe just a run of shit pie. Anyway. I really don't think he's got the king, for two reasons, I don't see him shoving with it, besides that, what are the odds.
    The odds of him having a 9 are terrible. So I believe he has a PP. Why would he shove a PP lower than 9? Is he a donk? So his range is TT-QQ I think. So even though I think your beat, I say call. Against this shortstack anyway. But, I'm a little tunafish. So I may be off on his range pre turn, and post shove.

    BTW. I hate it when a great hand like that becomes a shit salad. Tough break.

    in ur accounts... confiscating ur funz
    I've seen people go bananas after not playing a hand for an hour, but this is really a funny situation. I can see a fold there, but personally I'm not that ambitious.

    I don't know what the stats mean. Didn't he ever raise pf?
    Even if not... it's not unheard of that someone would get 100 hands and never get much of anything.
    I'm pretty sure you're beat there... Let's assume he did get a good cross-section of hands so far, then there is pretty much no way he has less than TT here, but I'm not folding.

    i bet good money on quads.

    i felt that on the flop i had a K hooked. and, wanted him to fire then, but knew he'd call with worse.

    turn, i said, "awwww shit. you got to be kidding me." and, knew i was likely junk. because now anything over TT whoops me. and, sure his range is super wide. but, not after calling a decent bet and then his donk shove.

    until you have a better read, you just cant put a bluff in there. sure, they bluff, but i dont have proof that he does, yet, and too much beats me now for me to want to stack off.

    so, i'll just fold and save my whopping $.20.

    i usually call lighter at these stakes. and, if villain had any AF at all, i would have here, too. but, this passive? and the donk-shove? how often is that a bluff? not that often, imo.

    i dont think the K shoves here, but it may if it thinks i have a 9. but, its more likely something trying to scare worse out....like JJ, or even AA.

    the mentality of "i gotta get this pot now" instead of "make better fold and worse call" is a common one down here. lost of big flop bets with AK on a A X Xr board. but, if he has JJ, does better fold? i doubt it.
