Against a half stack I would have just 3bet this pretty huge and hope to get it in pre flop.

I'd have liked a donk on the flop against these players to get them to call with draws or weak 1 pairs that might check back, I'd bet the turn for thin value too and check back river.

1st question - Why are you in for less than a full stack?! Wink

Pre: I agree with Harvie that three betting against two shorter stacks with the intention of getting stacks in pre if they reraise is going to be good here.

Flop: If we had three bet and gotten any callers we would obviously be betting this board. As played I like check calling.

Turn: What was your logic for the turn donk bet here? I'm not a fan of it. It's hard to class this as a value bet or as a bluff.

River: I would not expect many worse hands to be calling us if we bet here but there are a ton of missed draws so I think this is a good spot to go for a check call rather than betting again ourselves.

This was on 888snap poker so $1 was the max buy in for this table. I miss labelled the title sorry.

The 2c/4c and up are 200bb but for some reason the 1c/2c is limited to 100bb buy in.

I just called because I figured I was ahead if his range and didn't wanna chase out worse. I'd check / fold a scary flop or else check call a board I liked...(which is what happened)

Can't remember why I donked the turn. Watching it back I don't like it now either.

Thanks for the feedback Smile

No good reason not to lead flop here for value/protection.

As played the turn donk is kinda random an unorthodox although it's not technically a bad play.

As played, either check river or bet around $0.20 for thin-value.

Think I'd have led large on the flop here, I don't really want to be 3-handed on the turn given a choice.
I like the idea of betting river with around 1/3 pot size for thinish value. It's not as thin as we might imagine because in these games they can definitely call with worse, like an 8x or 7x an under-pair and even Ax on occasion because we could be bluffing with such a small bet right, right?

Gotta make sure you keep your stack toppped up to 100bb

Pre is fine, 99 is strong enough to be more than a set mine.

On the flop I would lead out with so many draws having an overpair.

As played I'm not sure what to make of the turn donk.Once we take this line I would be going for a check call on the river.
