i guys.
I am having hard time decide wether this played badly or not.
Mp is a fish which I ISolaated and sb is 26/22 bad reg. Hes not overly agressive and hes donk bet flop is 0 over 360 sample.
Agression frequency is also 51% so in middle.
Hes calling range is pps ,some suited connectors and some suited broadawys.
Hes donk bet rings the bell and I am kinda pissed off on myself here couse I in those situations my mind goes blank and I dont play as I think I should but as I heared somewhere else.
Hes donking range screams value/protection bet .
I was in dilemma to call or a raise.
IF I call I have to call turn afgain and if I miss I have to give up on my hand which I hate.
Raising allows in such a spots usually allows me to pickup pot without much showdown value right now or remain agressive on future streets if I get called with Qx. IF he raised as he did we dont have any options but to call with 30% equity needed.
Question is should I just call flop and hope to hit it or play as I did ?

I play against this reg every day he is very passive calling station post flop, dispite that note that i have on him i would play very agressive against an agressive player and call against a passive player , against unknown i would assume he is passive , i would say he could have for value here 77 88 9dTd (not sure because most regs wouldnt call with that so only put with notes the 9T same for other suited conectors such as 78 56 Q8 JT and J9 ) só i would assume he has a set here because most regs wouldnt call here with other hands , but with notes that he calls such a big open oop with suited conectors you can shove here otherwise i would just call.

I think I've played a person of this name before too hah. It's fine how you played it mate don't worry, there are also a few worse draws than yours that can get in and even vs sets we do ok.

You say his range is suited connectors, pp's and suited broadways, very true, but they all hit here and vs all of those on this particular board you do well (and potentially dominate) and I think you can't go too wrong here.

First off, your line is never going to be a big mistake because there's always a chance villain can have worse flush draws and hands like QJs.

So it's a question of is calling the flop a more preferable line. His donk bet history, bet size, he bets into more than one player, and the fact his stats are in the reg ball park, make me want to just call. He's highly unlikely to be bluffing, and when the money goes in we're never crushing unless he's overplayed a worse flush draw which again is unlikely.

It's not just that our friend donks out without a history of doing so even, but that it's 3/4 pot which is so rarely a semi-bluff even multiway.

Surprise me and tell me villain had less than a set when the money went in.

I'd play calldown if I was on my game, but I don't think going for stacks is so terrible with a hand like this either, just that this opponent may need a little more careful handling.

THx guys.
I agree with all of you .
Pwill he had a 88 which was expected and thats what I wass pissed about ,couse I played the hand in a way where I just wanted to get it thru instead of playing most EV.
What woulkd be the best playe vs sets or 2p ?
Call flop, evalate turn?

the thing is , if you add 2p to his range you must add combo draws , i have around 75k hands now on this limit and for me it was very clear that he had a set there , regs wouldnt call there with anything other than 77 88 preflop that would donk , like KQs could call but wouldnt donk, AQ would mostly 3bet and i also dont think he would donk with that , when you see this kind of play think he has a set unless you have notes he does that with other things , and the correct play against a set is just a call because you have 25% equity against that and on the turn i think he would make a size that wouldnt be profitable to call so you gotta fold most of the time ,

Worse case scenario you are 30%+ you need like 45%... you have this as a number of his hands will be J9dd type hands and some Qx. Even 78ss is not so bad ... call get there / both brick and ship AK high and then wave your junk in his face Cheeky
