Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6402244, member: 397965"] Even though you only started the hand with 11BB, it was a limped pot, so the Stack to Pot Ratio (SPR) was still around 3. This is not a spot, where we want to donk shove the flop with any hand. In fact your hand is not even that good, since Villian could easily have a straight or two pair already, or even just a better kicker with a hand like KT or K9. Or he could have a lot of equity with hands like AJ or QT, that have some kind of pair + straightdraw. The best play is to check and try to show down your mediocre made hand as cheaply as possible. And if you face to much pressure especially on a bad board runout, that puts a 1-liner to a straight, then you can just fold and live to fight another day. You got to see a free flop, so at this point you have not put in any chips voluntarely, and you dont have to punt off your entire stack, just because you caught a small piece of the board. [/QUOTE]
