Being donked - general advice sought



Posted Thu Feb 22, 2007 8:56 am GMT by red_pen
I have one hand in particular in mind, but it got me thinking about the general "being donked" theme - and I came to the realization that my donk-bet combating skills are non-existent.

In the $11 SnG this hand occurred I was dealt AdKd UTG + 1. 9 left, and the blinds are 20/40...early in the game. UTG calls. I raise to 200, folds to the small blind who calls. BB and UTG man both disappear. Flop is 922, with 2 diamond. Sb bets 160 or so.

Do I call, raise, fold, shove ? Also what should I not do?

And in general in your experience do donks donk when they hit, or when they think the raiser missed ? And if you donk, why do you donk?

Myself would like a 3-4X raise here, maybe even push. If he has a pocket pair so be it. You have 2 overs + nut flush = 1/3 of the deck should be the nuts in WORST CASE SCENARIO.

Hope this helps.

Push. He has a 9 and thinks you missed. If he calls and has a 2, then you are still 30% to win.
