I play a very LAG HU style, raising ~80% IP, CBing hard, etc...Nothing new or exciting. However, there is one type of villain that I have trouble beating. This villain is very aggro IP, often betting min, but more importantly he donk bets the flop OOP constantly, again usually min. He calls relatively light, but at the same time doesn't commit big without the goods. Now, this seems like a fairly easy strategy to exploit - just tighten up and bet for value, CR more often and such. But I find myself having trouble nevertheless, especially if I'm at all cold-decked. What adjustments do you guys recommend against this type of player. Has anyone else had this problem? I seem to encounter this type of villain fairly often at the $20 level

Min donks arent too much of a problem. Mix in some raises and floats w/ weak hands and you should be fine. Obviously you need to adjust and only play good hand vs someone who will 2 or 3 barrell with air.

As long as the stacks are deep enough and the blinds small enough, I raise something very close to 100% of the time when the big blind donks for half pot or less, no matter what the board is or what my cards are. Somebody who is doing this on every board will eventually get the picture.

One of these days I'm going to dig into my stats enough to find out how often this bet is successful, but I'm almost positive that I get folds FAR more often than the percentage of the time I would need them to fold in order for the bet to be profitable.

This should be very easy to do with the new version of PokerTracker, I've read they've added all sorts of ways you can filter by stack size/bet to pot size ratio and loads of other stuff that's impossible/very hard to do with the current version

I usually call down lightly and a lot. If he is that willing to give me great odds, I will take them. Many times they will min-bet-bluff to the river, and it is easy to call down with K-high.

When is that going to be available? That sort of stuff would probably make me finally decide to buy it, rather than working on my own stats programs on the side.
