I think donk betting has its place when playing poker. While I don't recommend doing it I will on occasion donk bet out when I have a monster hand or monster draw with several players in the hand and can be confident someone has something that would be able to call my bet as I want to grow the pot. Again this is very rarely done by me.
Looking for opinions and advice on donk betting. I usually never donk bet but I am seeing more players aggressively betting into the preflop raiser. Do you donk bet or not? Reads on the donk better ?
I usually never donk bet too, just like you. I think it is not that nessesary in present-day poker game. I try to always check before the pf aggressor. I donk really really really rare, and I need some special reads for doing that.
But please don't confuse a donk bet with a lead bet. I can use the last one.
Donk bet = a bet before a preflop aggressor being OOP in a HEADS-UP POT.
Lead bet = the same, but there're 3 or more people involved in the pot.
I would't want to play like a bad player and you should't either.Take a note on said player and trap him when you get a premium hand and send him packin! :deal: and always thank him for the chips!
