Such a weird line! I mean when you check call you pretty much turn your hand face up. Really looks like some 8x type hand or 99-JJ, and I would actually prefer a cbet with a hand like K8 than with a hand like JJ/TT as your hand is a lot more vulnerable.. I would feel pretty happy value betting Qx if i was the BTN here, or bluffing/semi bluffing with a fairly high success rate.

The problem I have with the river donk bet is I don't think a weak player is going to fold Qx ever, and I think anyone decent will sniff this out and call with a lot of the hands you are trying to fold out, or even turn a missed draw or weak pair into a bluff themselves as you can never really have a big hand on the river.

But what do I know, I play SNG's. We have it easy most of the time! ;-)

Yeh I defo should've cbet this flop. And as for the rest of the hand, I don't really like the river line, he did fold, but I probably had the best hand anyway.

I think it's good to experiment with stuff though and think outside the box occasionally to stay/get ahead of the curve, most of it will be terrible/losing plays but something might come of it someday...
