Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6581121, member: 397965"] But why would SB lead with any strong hand on a disconnected K high board? This is a board, which favour the preflop raiser, since he is the only one, who can have AA, KK and AK. The other players cant, since they did not 3-bet. Even KQ is usually 3-bet from SB and KJs as well. The preflop raiser is going to C-bet most of his range on this board, and why would SB not allow that to happen, if he flopped a set? This is a dream spot for a set to check-call flop and then check-raise turn. If on the other side he has KJ, leading out for full pot puts his stack at risk, if Hero or for that matter BB has one of the hands, that beat him. That is far more likely, since a pot sized donk bet is designed to make people fold. Poker is a 3 street game, and calling this flop bet does not commit hero to the pot. If we only defend on the flop with hands, we are willing to stack off with, then we allow the opponent an extremely profitable bluffing opportunity with any random two cards. And who knows, what this guy is up to? Maybe he is just taking a shot at making us fold, and then he will slow down and check the turn. Or make a small bet, which we can easily call. Its a great flop for KT. We have top pair decent kicker in a late position confrontation, where ranges are wide. A bad player might donk out with top pair worse kicker than ours or with second or third pair. A good player dont have a donking range on this board, so even without other reads the donk bet tells us, that the opponent is, what its name suggest :) As in fact he did. But the hand is a perfect illustration of, what a pot sized donk bet into two opponents usually represent. SB did catch some piece of the board, but he did not have a very strong hand, and he wanted his opponents to fold. [/QUOTE]
