TT against short stacked donk ($27)

[taipan168]

Opp has real Friday night donk stats, something like 50/30 up to this point. Clearly we are playing this hand, so do we just shove it here or 3-bet and get the rest in on the flop?

Go-and-Go, with the option of aborting if the flop is truly horrible.

yea about 450-500 shove most flops.

I'd probably fold to him if an Ace hit and he shoved, otherwise, I expect to be putting him all-in on 90% of the flops. Plus, there is always a chance he spews preflop and shoves over the top of you with something donkish like A9o or underpair.

on the occasional occurrence where he 4bets you with something like AK, then its the standard coin flip.

But yeah, if he is a donk, then TT should crush majority of his range. So 3betting with a plan to shove most flops is the way to go imho.

I am so confused by these "let's put half our (effective) stack in" threads. I just don't think it changes the way he is going to play his range significantly. That said making it 250-300 and leaving villain the illusion of FE might get him to open up his range. But I just shove, he is a fish who has shown interest in his hand and fish hate folding.

Also getting to the flop with half a pot sized bet and folding is a pretty bad idea.

@amnightus: If you he 4 bets you he has a range. Not AK which you flip against but something like 77, AT, KQ or something depending on how donkish he is.

misread opponents stack (looked at MP3) yea 300 then shove most flops.

I think with his stack/stats shove is slight better but w/e, when someone is running this crazy I don't think it matters much

never fold if you're 3 betting, but you could c/c the rest off instead.
