    Default 25NL Zoom FR - Damn Donkers

    I 3bet original opener, and get a cold call from the sb (villain) who is playing 24/19 with a 13% 3bet over a few hundred hands, and I 've noted that he is generally splashy and aggressive.

    (My first thought is that I should have 3-bet slightly larger)

    On the flop I decide that he could be donking a number of hands that include weaker overpairs, Gutterballs, OESD's and maybe sets, though I'm not sure I haven't seen him play a set yet OOP. I raise because I know he is aggressive and I want to charge his draws, I plan on calling a shove.

    After he calls flop, I just decide to Jam turn figuring he might call with like 99-QQ, don't think he would call with his draws.

    How's the line look? does anyone just flat the flop donk? Notice effective stacks are ~170 bb's.

    Looks good to me. He has four times as many worse overpair hands than set combos. So I think it's fine.

    No way I'm flatting the donk on this board. I like shoving the turn too.

    If he has a set - why doesn't he 3bet the flop to secure the cooler before a card turns that kills his action? Any 6, 9, 4 or an overcard to your overpair might kill his action, so I think he just tries to get all the money in on the flop with a set.
