Occasionally you will get some folds as they think you are ‘sucking them in’, but if you don’t you can always bluff those later street Q,K,A scare cards.Ī) Vs fish: This line is great vs fish as they generally don’t understand what any bet size means, they’re too busy looking at their hand when deciding whether to call or raise. I like a donk-bet around ¼ pot in this situation. You can represent so many Turn cards if called and a wide Button range hardly ever hits this board hard.ĭonk betting to price draws – Often you’ll be playing passive fishy type players and have little fold equity, but you have a good draw. If you call in the BB with K♥T♥ vs a BTN open and the board is 8♦7♠5♠, just lead. Multi tablers on bad boards – Sometimes you know someone is playing more tables than they can handle, so you can steal a lot of small pots on good boards for your range. Sure they might be pot controlling a made hand sometimes, but they are also giving up a lot too. Low 2 barrel – Just like above, if guys don’t cbet the Turn often, stick a donk-bet in here occasionally. Low cbet – When someone only cbets 50% why wait for them to decide what to do? They are giving up a lot so get donking vs wide CO and BTN ranges and make their decision easier. When & Why To Donk Bet – other cluesīesides the stats listed above, there are other clues that can lead to a successful donk bet: When you do make a light call be sure to get that note on sizing and also timing, Ex: ‘Donks river after no 2barrell, pot sized very quickly with 3 rd pair’. Without info I’d make some light calls early on in small pots. You can’t be calling down with Ace high vs fish that can bet 2 nd or 3rd pairs on the River, you simply need tighter bluff catchers here like 2nd pair top kicker.
Some will never bluff a pair they can just showdown, yet some bet just for the hell of it. The common scenario: we cbet – fish calls – Turns checks through – fish pots the River… you’ll find great disparities with different players. Again it can take a while to get a good sample here, so just look for ‘extremes’ in %.ĭonk/stabbing Turns and Rivers vs missed cbets – Not a donk bet as such but it’s in the same ballpark and worth mentioning. If I see a ‘Donks – folds to raise’ at say 75% (3 out of 4), I’d definitely be raising light when I’ve missed. Notes are crucial here, but if you have none I’d start by re-raising these donk bets on dry boards.ĭonk-flop fold to raise – Vs the players that are familiar with donk prowess, this is a stat I like to consult. It is not uncommon to see 40% donk-bet and that’s quite a lot considering how many flops these players can see. If your opponent is getting way out of line here, you can always 3bet the raise with good draws, but be aware you will likely have odds to call it off should he ship over your 3bet.ĭonk flop – Not all fish are created equal – yeah they’re all bad but some more so than others.
Instead, donk with big hands and TPTK if they are angry enough to get in a top pair hand! Stat % wise, I just look for extremes like ‘Raise Donk 50%’. So be careful donking draws and weak hands here as it will get expensive for you.
Raise Donk – Since donking is a fishy line at heart, some regs actually find it offensive and will raise it ‘just because’. So if we see a ‘Fold vs donk 45%’ a 2/3 bet (needs to work 40%) is great and even better with a little pot equity to go with it should we get called. Ex: pot 10bb, we donk 7.5bb and it needs to work approximately 43% of the time (x/x+y or 7.5/7.5+10).
