2/5 - K6s flops top pair and gets donked into - Page 2 - Live Low-stakes No Limit Poker Forum

I know this is more emotional than rational reasoning, but when I'm in position and I raised preflop, it's MY pot, and this insouciant behavior from Villain leading needs to be corrected, in a way that my dog could understand. That fits with my overarching image of table presence and theme, that if you're playing a pot with me, expect aggression from being in position.

Doesn’t them triple barreling after a donk and losing also “train them” not to donk?

He could have flush draw too. Raising flop is certainly a play. I think op played it fine though just calling down. I think the population has enough flop donks with draws, small pairs even air that calling down is good. Think folding this river is a bad exploit

People who raise flop leads too much are actually some of my favorite kinds of fish to play against.

Re: raising the flop. We will only get called by draws. I remember reading back in the fall by, I believe Michael Acevedo but it could've been Doug Polk, don't ever monoreason in poker. He said every action you take in poker should have at least two reasonings behind it. That really stuck with me.

Lol how does someone with 13k posts here advocate for teaching fish how to play "correctly". Possibly the dumbest ****ing thing I've ever read in my entire time on 2p2. What next, show your hand before mucking so they know not to mess with you?

Out of sheer curiosity, if he polarized more, was there a number you probably throw it away?

Opponents doesn't surprise me, but as a bluff, that felt way too low. He is going to get looked up hands like A10 for a crying call every now and then.
