I'm thinking maybe this should have been a fold preflop (after being 3bet). Seeing as I flopped TPTK, and still am not happy about continuing. I just feel like he shows up with AA, KK, or QQ here so often. Now that I think about it donking the flop probably wasn't the best idea either.

He may have 3bet me a little lighter since I only minraised, but his 3bet is only 3.23% so idk... (I don't normally open with a minraise preflop, I was experimenting with something)

Open 3x pre and x/c flop

This and maybe finding a fold pre cuz small 3b%, positions, and lolnitring.

ez fold pre at nitring

Like others said, this is usually a fold pre. People tend not to 3bet light vs EP open at FR.
OTF donking makes no sense, we lose value from his bluffs. c/c is much better.

As played, this really sucks. I may call the turn barrel but we're obviously folding almost any river.

jeeeesus christ this is misplayed like on every street

3x pre, fold to 3b, x/c flop



also you might have some frequency leak if ur flatting this pre and you want to fold it to 2 barrels (yes i realize you bet the flop, but the action kinda counts as 2 barrels) on this dry-ass board

I think normally you can easily fold pre vs this opponent's stats. A 3% 3 bet is pretty much AK and TT+. Your min-raise PF might induce him to 3 bet lighter, but then again 3 betting from UTG+1 is still very strong.

By donk betting the flop I think you put yourself in a difficult position because he can float the flop with any pocket pair, AKs, etc, and as soon as you check the turn he can bet any two cards really.

I would check/call the flop and see what he does on the turn.

Thanks for the thoughts guys, I obviously butchered this hand. As for the preflop sizing, I normally do 3x + 1 per, I was just messing around with something. So as I understand it the 3bet call was the real problem, which was then compounded by the donk bet (since if I c/c that would atleast keep AK bluffs in his range, and maybe JJ). Thanks again.

im folding pre in 6max a lot too.
