    Default Push or Fold situation??

    My flop raise here is standard lately against donks when they donk bet and I hit ANYTHING. I didn't account for the reraise from BB...


    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    UTG ($114.20)
    MP ($119.55)
    Hero ($134.55)
    SB ($77.55)
    BB ($129.75)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with 9, 6.
    1 fold, MP calls $1, Hero raises to $5, 1 fold, BB calls $4, MP calls $4.

    Flop: ($15.50) T, 5, 8 (3 players)
    BB checks, MP bets $10, Hero raises to $30, BB raises to $77, MP folds, Hero ???

    Too much dead money for me to fold IMO.

    You're in too deep to fold. I guess push?
    My sig is too much for you to handle.

    You may want to re-consider that line.

    Also, labeling players as just donks is a pretty bad habbit. There are so many different variations for starters...

    BTW: I cry REALLY loud and fold this.

    How do you fold? Pot odds justify a call, no? 100 to Hero to call an implied 200 dollar pot. 9 diamonds plus 3 straight cards makes it pretty +EV to push.

    Yes I understand this, but I didn't think it was relavent to this post I was just explaining my actions. There is an enormous amount of donk betting going on at $100, I am just experimenting with how to handle them. Any ideas??

    What are we putting him on?

    Given that he check/re-raised half his stack, I don't think we have any folding equity.

    bb only left $48 after his c/r, so it's implied we'd be calling $96 on the flop, not just the $47 he raised.
    if you put his range as only a set, or set and better flush draw, it would be about break even to push with around 34% equity in a $280 pot.
    maybe if hitting gets him to reload and go on tilt then it becomes +ev? or maybe you fold to just lower variance.
