Seems like a certain bluff to me, dunno what she thinks shes repping on the turn.. pocket 7's lol. If your gonna play like this preflop at least donk bet the flop. I guess the positives are you wont make this play again Smiley so in theory it should of improved your game for the future.

Why on earth would you donk bet the flop, after our preflop line and the stack sizes?

To induce a re-raise from our villain as our bet will look weak or like a draw (Obv happy to get it in to villains reraise), either that or check raise allin but how do we know villain is going to bet this scary looking flop.

I had a feeling you were going to say that, but in general only thinking comptent players ever do this (this is a £40 local casino donkament) and in this spot I am not even sure they do this because of the board texture/stacks. If someone donks this flop they are rarely passing as some many hands have good equity that they have already priced themselves into calling a raise.

Check/raising is so much better in spot imo.



I don't really have any experience in these sort of tornys. So I will take your word for it Smiley
