| Incorperating Donk bets into my play. I never donk bet on a bluff. I only ever donk bet for value on boards my opponent is not going to c-bet. *Are the cases were a donk bet bluff becomes preferable to a checkraise bluff? *Are the any other cases were a donk bet may be useful for value other than as stated above? I recall there was recently a thread on this, heck it may have even been started by me but i cannot remember nor find it |

| Not sure what you mean by donk bet. Are you talking bout making your bet seem like a bluff when you really have a strong hand? For example heads up its check check check check ALL IN... I think donkbets works well with players on tilt. But Im a nice guy so I just value bet them. And a lot of the times you lose value if villain folds. I think 10NL is the last level where this will ever work in your favor. |

| Why is donk betting so bad? But basically biggest thing you want to consider is how will your opponent react to it. Then exploit that. |

Even a few forum regs appeared to be competing for the weeks ban that was offered . Was pretty god damn funny though. But ye I'd like a proper discussion on it. |

However a check raise would achieve the same result. As for betting for value to induce a raise I can't see how this could work out in my favour as I;d need to 3bet. Check raising doesn't nearly represent as much strength as a donk/3bet. Also check raising can be balanced with my check raise bluffs. |

| Ok, i got one, to ask. What if you call the open air bet, and you find out that he was pushing from the button with AK, and you only have bottom pair with an ace as a kicker!! <<<<< donk bet "when you have AK, and raise with it 3x the BB, that you should c-bet the flop" But if one called you, and he has pp, hits a set on the flop, then your screwed... Deco, that's what you mean with donk bets. ^^^^^ Quote:

| Start donking flush draws/OESD's/gutshots/bottom pair against passive villains who don't c-bet, and against aggressive villains who are crazy enough to raise you with air we get to bet/3-bet them sometimes as a bluff with those same hands. Bet/3-betting looks stronger than a check/raise, and you can usually get a better price on your bluff. |

| re: Incorperating Donk bets into my play. poker So as a general rule I should be check raising my air and donking my draws/ bottom pairs? Why the bottom pairs? I like the sound of doing this with draws. Check raising I've never been comfortable with as if called my hand becomes transparent when I check the turn whilst a 3bet is hardly great either. I take it we 3bet the light raisers and call the passive players. |

| It really doesnt make much sense to me to c/r or c/b a gutshot or a low pair at all. Flush draws or open ended may make sense to me on the flop; which if u do on the flop would only make sense to 3bet in order to not show weakness. But the odds are so much better. I believe I find plenty of hands to bluff with some kind of odds. Way to many to have to bluff on air at least until the blinds are really worth stealing in an mtt. I really dont know how to play very well in a situation like this on a cash table. The only way I really make any money on the cash tables is if I catch cards. Maybe I should work on that. |
