Slowing down in mtts is more acceptable, when you're playing cash against 'the loosest player ever' you need to be betting the turn strong when you have an overpair. Posted by beaneh
thanks for respone, in the mtt handthis opponent was also loose expext to see JxXs in his had J4d was a big shock.
Really don't like your flop play here Don. All you do with a min raise is build a pot with a really fricking wet board. So he is calling with any pair and any draw here. So why did you do a min raise? If you want him off a draw raise bigger. Donk bets so often an information bet as to if their hand is good, or they do have a big hand and they are worried about board texture themselves. So your bet gets no real answer as to which, even with him just flatting the reraise.
On the turn I'm kind of thinking there is method in checking against some players for pot size control, and so I don't have huge issue with a check and call on river, but in this case I think the guys happy to donk bet the flop, and then checks the turn you are likely ahead still and could likely take the pot there rather than give a free card. Sure its possible he was on KQ, but its a strange play on the flop if he is leading out into the preflop raiser when he may get raised completely off his draw.
Anyway thats my thoughts. I'd have been putting the guy on a draw on the Jack and his donk bet was for information about if his jack was good, and your min raise meant he was just priced in to call, so you got no info and made the pot bigger. Don't like this as a general rule.
