    Default Faacing PS donkbets in position, as the preflop raiser.

    Thoughts on the following? In both cases I have a reasonable hand but am facing a STRONG flop donkbet into a pot that I raised.

    1. I had just turned a set and stacked an overpair after calling a modest sized flop bet. Opp on the overpair was yakking at me this hand. (I include this b/c of my table image).

    Opp in this hand: no real read.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver Cards)

    MP3 ($41.65)
    CO ($27.75)
    Button ($50.70)
    SB ($74.70)
    BB ($23.10)
    Hero ($86.20)
    UTG+1 ($10)
    MP1 ($41.45)
    MP2 ($23.85)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with , .
    Hero raises to $2, 6 folds, SB calls $1.75, BB calls $1.50.

    Flop: ($6) , , (3 players)
    SB checks, BB bets $6, Hero....

    2. Again, no great read on opp but he did seem to have a few hands where he "picked up a loose pot".

    MP2 ($41.50)
    MP3 ($97.65)
    CO ($179.20)
    Button ($158.05)
    SB ($59.35)
    Hero ($106.40)
    UTG ($45)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with , .
    2 folds, MP1 calls $1, 4 folds, SB completes, Hero raises to $4, MP1 folds, SB calls $3.

    Flop: ($9) , , (2 players)
    SB bets $8, Hero ....

    Hand 1: Drop that immediately. Kx, AA, QQ, JT, and any 2 spades are all likely to hang around this hand and you're not gonna know what you're up against and what you're ahead of. Too much uncertainty.

    Hand 2: I 90% of the time dump this unless I'm feeling frisky,in which you could 3-bet him... but I wouldn't recommend it. If you're dead set to do that, calling and watching what he does on the turn is probably a better bet.

    I haven't played fullring in a while, but noone sees other Qx and draws for the BB in #1 in addition to Kx? If you call and has one of those, you can probably show down cheaply, or dump on another big bet. I agree with #2 though.
