Just a question at a donky fest when is it a good time to stop chasing a open ender or a flush draw when a dude keeps minbetting into a large pot?

something like betting 1000 into a 9000 dollar pot on every street with middle pair and i have 2 3 in the bb and the flop come j 4 5. I check and he bets 1000 turn check bet 1000 river check bet fold. Should u fold on the turn in something like that?

I think this is very player dependent. If my opponen is somewhat decent I will raise him on the turn if i know i have Fold equity. And I think aswell you should never say that you chase a draw, but that you want your opponent to be chased out of the pot by your aggression. Like in you example i think I raise to 4,5k on the flop then, Stick it in on the turn if he does that weak bet on the turn. You have to get your opponents on decision for their chips, not yours.

THere is a lot of missing info here....Stack sizes of you and villain, blinds?, villain's tendencies.....if you are calling 1000 into a 9000 pot w OESD, obv you are getting a good price, but it really depends on the things i mentioned...Generally, I like to get a little more aggressive when a donk is minbetting into me on all streets, and raise it up w a draw on the flop or turn...but again, really depends

yes but. My read on this player is he himself is a calling station an i watched him to me left call an all in with the lowest pair. I don't think I had any fold equity so i had no bluff opp. Really i was just hoping to hit my card and double up which i prolly would have.

Pretty much the only time you should stop calling getting huge odds closing the action is when raising is more +EV
