$3.40 NL HE STT Turbo: How to deal with donkbets...
Since i am playing mostly the micro's this is a situation that comes up often in the early game. There it's a little easier to deal with as we are usually deep, so it becomes an easy fold or sometimes raise depending on your read.
Late here, i really hated folded, but i'm not sure if shoving over here could be a good play. He's a bad player, no huge reads apart from that, just a normal standard donk. When he calls pre and donk bets out like this, i assume he is pretty weak. maybe a pair that likes the flop, or two random overcards, i doubt he has any 2's or 6'es in his range here, flush draw is a possibility too.
I really wanted to ship this over, but my nitty ways got the best of me, and i decided to fold. What do you guys think about this situation? And how do you try and counter donk betting in general? It's something that comes up a lot in micro's, would be good to get some discussion going on how to counter them.
I also did a quick stove analysis, and against his pecieved range we're flipping on this flop, but we probably have decent fold equity, but we also need to factor in ICM.
