Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 5998375, member: 397965"] Preflop Standard open of course. Flop It would be nice to have a little extra something like a backdoor flushdraw, but in general I am ok C-betting a lot on this kind of board. Its very difficult for him to hit, and especially on Zoom I think, a small bet like this can get a lot of folds. Turn I like firing again, when you pick up equity. This is a great barrel card in my opinion, because it apply pressure to 44-99. If he floated with A high, he is also going to fold that now, unless its AQ or AX of clubs exactly. So you can definitely get some folds now, and its a big leak to mindlessly C-bet every single flop but then only C-bet the turn for value. There is nothing wrong with sometimes checking back a hand like this, but for me its a great hand to have in your bluffing range. River I am not super thrilled about facing this almost pot sized donk bet, but I think, your hand is simply to strong to fold. To defend correctly against a pot sized bet you need to call with half the hands, that you get to the river with this way. This is often referred to as MFD (Minimim Defense Frequenzy). And obviously you have a lot of other hands, that are now worse than KQ. Like overpairs or JX. AK or AQ that also went for the dubble barrel with a gutshot and two overs. I am not saying, we need to play 100% GTO in a 2NL Zoom game, but I dont think, we have any population read, that this donk bet is always a nutted hand. I think, some people will show up with fairly random bluffs here, that were just looking for a scare card to make you fold on the river. And others might be overplaying trips or two pair, because they are kind of confused and dont know, what to do. Or he could have the same hand as yours. So I sigh-call here, and if he rivered a flush or slowplayed a boat, then good for him :) [/QUOTE]
