Message: [QUOTE="300HPGOD, post: 6572223, member: 305911"] If I am 3 betting this hand pre then I would go bigger here then what you made it. We really dont want to get called pre since our hand, even though in position, will be put in tough spots depending how many overcards flop and many flops will bring 2 so I like 3 betting to try to take it down not to make it smallish as you did trying to get a call. Flop: weird spot to donk lead yes but some opponents like to do it for the hell of it especially on a board like this as they might believe that we might think their Qx is afraid of a check back (less likely in a 3 bet hand) so they arent betting with air. I just dont like folding here since if we are folding 88 then are we folding JJ as well and other hands with value? I call here and see what the turn brings. Im not married to 88 of course but I am not going to 3 bet it to then fold to a donk lead with one overcard coming on the flop. Turn: Villains check here could mean a lot of things. I like checking if in their spot (although I would never play this hand the way they did) for that reason of I could (being the villain in this hand) check a huge hand here knowing I can still get it in on the river if you dont take the bait on the turn. From our perspective I think checking back is best but I know others wont like it or agree with me but I dont mind betting super small here (and do it sometimes) as a blocker bet of sorts for the river. Im trying to get to showdown here so we have to decide is the cheapest way to do that checking here and seeing what villain does on the river or betting here small to possibly prevent villain from betting river or making them more inclined to check river. River: villain jams which could also mean a lot of things just like every other street in this hand. They could bluff here with some frequency of course since we know nothing about them or they could have stone cold nuts somehow donk leading 2x, checking the turn hoping to check raise maybe? and then jamming river or have some hand close to nuts. Obviously this is a polarized bet not just sizing wise so we have to take our best guess at how good 88 really is here. I could see it being ahead of smaller pocket pairs that villain overplays and I could see bluffs along with Qx. Im pretty sure I would fold this river in game since that is just me and my tendency but I think this one is up in the air. Getting 2.43 to 1 on a call on the river do we think we are good enough of the time? Based on that I think this is probably a move where you are not too right or wrong either way but I know I fold which I am not saying is correct just being truthful with my poker ability in these spots.
