Why are you donking flop? What are you trying to represent, why would a king or an ace do that? Have to fold turn as well, not getting the odds to call. Could even be dead here. Check/call flop depending on sizing. Check/Fold turn as played.

That call from turn is wrong wrong..100 % fold

Opponent won the hand, but his holdings may surprise you.

Every street has an error. Preflop our position is bad for a hand like this.

Flop bluff no one will fold to because the board is paired with straight and flush draws.

Turn you should probably fold to getting 4:1ish on a 4:1 draw on a paired board.

River actually isn't the worst street to make a 50c bluff at, since villain is a drooler and should fold his JT type hands. But no one with a brain folds this river.

No one will fold??? what about medium pocket pairs which could be in their range.

CO could be quite wide. But in saying that I should've 3bet. But I think I didn't bother because they always flat called.

Doesn't matter what he/she is holding. What matters is the hand was honestly played poorly.

I agree why are you DONK betting (leading out into the raiser)? Obviously in many scenarios the isolating raiser is strong, so donking into a AKK flop just seems suicidal. Even if villain doesn't have an A or K they could be floating you.

As played: On the turn it's a definite check/fold.

It's 2nl...and people will fold absolutely everything except A & K and maybe some freakish flush/straight draws

but pocket pairs would be tested. hence why I raised... I'd play it exactly the same way if I had KK or AK

I don't know your logic...

makes no sense you played the hand poorly

You really have to rethink your logic if you would donk a flop with quads.

There's alot not to like about the way this hand was played, but that's okay 'cause it's .01/.02 and it's good to have a healthy sample of stinkers in your database for future reference; in fact, I'm still working on mine.

Some of what I don't like has already been addressed, like donking the flop and check calling the turn but I'd like to focus on something a little less obvious, namely your decision to call a 4x raise OOP with suited connectors.

The problem with calling PF raises from the blinds with SC's is that it's bad but not obviously so. I mean, everyone does it, even some winning players, right? But nobody wins with them. I think I read somewhere that medium SC's need about 20:1 implied odds to call a single raise with from the blinds, and my results in similar situations seems to back this up (far too embarrassing to share with you). It is possible that I'm misplaying them post flop but the results are just sooo bad that I'm afraid Stu Unger couldn't save me if I handed over the stick after every time I made the mistake of calling from the blinds with 78s.

So I guess my advice would be to just play fewer hands and a good place to start trimming the fat is by folding some of the less obvious losers like SC's, gappers and the like.

It is something Im working on but really 8c .. x 20... is $1.60 right? so we technically are priced in based on your 20:1 ?


Me calling that ugly turn is just me gambling... I should've raised the river like the guy said, cuz better hands would fold and really its the only way to win the hand when I miss my diamond draw unless he's booked it... But CO raise could be so wide its hard to think he likes the AK as well.

I guess I was trying to play his hand against him.. but I failed when I didn't bet the river tbh

Don't be results oriented. Yes, betting the river would be ballsy and yes there are a lot of better hands that would fold, but not many of the ones that you would expect to be up against. I really would expect him to have an ace or a king here 99% of the time and I would expect any .01/.02 drooler to call. IMO the river was your best played street.
