Donk Bet

Just got PT3 and setting up hud. What is the difference between "Fold to T Donk Bet" "Fold to T Float Bet" and "Fold to T Bet". One of my favorite betting patterns to exploit is players who raise pre flop, bet the flop, and check fold the turn when somebody calls them pf and on the flop and bets the turn. I am trying to pick out the stats that best show that.

Probably best to just set up your hud for Flop C-Bet, Fold to Flop C-Bet, Turn C-Bet, and Fold to Turn C-bet.

A donk bet is defined when a player makes a raise in position, and for example say the BB calls the bet, the flop is dealt, BB raises instead of checking to initial raiser who more than likely will make a c-bet on the flop, that's a donk bet. The "T" most likely represents action on the Turn

I have my HUD from Poker Tracker 3 set up as follows:

Top Line: Player Name / hands / Amount Won (for Cash Games)
Line 2: VP$IP / PFR / Total AF
Line 3: Fold to PF 3 Bet / Fold to F Bet / Fold to SB steal / Fold to BB steal
Line 4: Att to Steal / Cbet Flop / Raise F Cbet / WTSD

Yeah a donk bet is a lead into the previous raiser, and those stats are Turn stats.

So "Fold to T Donk Bet" indicates a fold on the turn when lead into as the flop aggressor. I'm not familiar with the "Fold to T Float Bet" stat -- maybe it refers to multi-way pots where there was a bet & call before you? "Fold to T Bet" should be obvious.

One thing that I have found that helps is putting Turn C-Bet because many times a villain will try to get you to fold with their C-Bet even if they didn't hit anything, but if their Turn C-Bet is low, you might be able to push them off a hand on the turn.

Another stat that helps, but I can't think of the damn name right now, is when your opponent checks the turn and folds to your bet after making a C-Bet on the flop. It might be a custom stat. I use it alongside the Turn-CBet stat for the same reason as decribed above.

Also, I personally think that the amount won is a waste of valuable space on the HUD, it doesn't really give you any pertinent information as to what game they are playing that night. Anyone can play a hand excellent and still get sucked out on to screw that stat up. The only thing this might be good for is if you knew that this player was very easily tilted when he was down a certain amount, but even that is somewhat unreliable.
