    Default Am I totally wtf delusional? 5/10 overbet shove

    Villain is a good reg 21/16/2.3. We 3bet each other and go back and forth all the time but we've no real history here. I've just recently started playing any 5/10.
    Preflop minraiser is a 61/12 fish.

    $5/$10 No Limit Holdem
    4 players
    Converted at weaktight.com

    Stacks:
    CO ($3904.39)
    BTN ($996.00)
    SB ($955.00)
    Hero ($1040.00)

    Pre-flop: ($15, 4 players) Hero is BB
    CO raises to $20, BTN calls $20, 1 fold, Hero calls $10

    Flop: ($65, 3 players)
    Hero bets $55, 1 fold, BTN calls $55

    Turn: ($175, 2 players)
    Hero bets $135, BTN calls $135

    River: ($445, 2 players)
    Hero bets $830, BTN has $786 to call

    I think once he calls the turn bet, he probably has a pretty strong hand or a draw on the turn.

    I'm assuming this shove is a bluff? I think if you know villain can fold and your history, flow, would let you believe he could fold a 7 here, it could be good.

    I don't think he's folding a flush though, even though the board paired.

    Are you flatting TT-88 in this spot oop to a fishy minraise? I'd usually 3bet, but I can see arguments for flatting too.

    As played, I guess I put button on a flush, quite possibly Ahxh, which is going to be almost impossible for him to lay down. T9's another possibility, which he's obv folding, but he's probably folding to the turn bet. I don't really like the flop donk... there's some value there, but you'll rarely win it on the flop and there are a ton of cards that will make your life difficult on the turn and river.

    I think for these same reasons, a flop donk is good BECAUSE a ton of cards on the turn/river will make villain's life difficult.

    The only reason why I don't like the donk lead is cause there are a billion hands that can bluff raise us, and we're stuck OOP with a decent hand, but have no idea where we're at.

    dont mind the flop donk bet since villain doesnt seem very aggro
    on turn i probably just c/f, and i also hate river i just dont think people are folding flushes often enough (at least to me, if u have a better image then its closer)

    wrt the flop donk I think it's ok because of the fish minraiser. It's more aimed at him than the main villain because he'll call so much and rarely raise. I guess what I didn't consider is that this flop probably smacks the main villains range given that he flatted a minraise IP.

    On the turn I'll be honest I don't know what the best line is.

    River I think he definitely folds a straight and probably some flushes too. They're kinda the same hand though because I'd probably never take this line with a flush.

    flop donk is good because of a fish. Turn I c/f and I also check with flushes or 7. as played, river is a spew imo because people don't like folding flushes and it doesn't make sense for you to have a boat because you probably don't bet turn with a set so he doesn't fold a flush. He folds 7 but that is all.
    The secret to success in poker is to rig the odds in your favor.
