BTN: $4.72
SB: $5.00
BB: $12.09
UTG: $5.35
MP: $5.77
Hero (CO): $5.00

Pre Flop: ($0.07) Hero is CO with 2 :spade: A :spade:
2 folds, Hero raises to $0.15, 2 folds, BB calls $0.10

Flop: ($0.32) 3 :diamond: 2 :diamond: Q :spade: (2 players)
BB bets $0.25, Hero calls $0.25

Turn: ($0.82) Q :heart: (2 players)
BB bets $0.65, Hero calls $0.65

River: ($2.12) 7 :club: (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $1.34

BB is 20/12/2.1 over 341 hands. 38% (13 samples) donk bet, 100% (4 samples) donk vs 1 opponent, 11% (9 samples) donk vs several opponents. No info on turn cbet. 60% flop cbet (15 samples).

On the flop, given his donk stat, I decide to float. The plan is raising the turn or betting if checked on almost every card.

On the turn, if I had a queen I'd have called. Then I decide to float one more street.

On the river I bet representing a queen, aiming to fold middle pairs.

What do you guys think of my play? Is this too elaborate for NL5? How would you guys have played it? Thanks in advance.

And when do you plan to fold?
Is the story you are telling truthful?

:f_biggrin: I plan to fold if my bluff is called/raised.

If I were the BB, I'd fold everything but a queen or higher. And I wouldn't be very happy if holding just a queen. Is my story truthful? I don't know. It is to me :f_biggrin:, but I've only played 10K hands on NL5, I'm sure I'm wrong on a lot of things.

A queen. In my CO opening range, I have AQ, KQ, QJ, QT, Q9s, Q8s. Sets I'd have raised the flop for protection. The way I'd see it from the BB perspective, on the river I can have a queen, maybe 7's or a 3-street bluff.

I agree with folding turn. Q is not a good card for his bluffs

what about raising the flop?

Flop is dry, there is no need to raise.

raising allows us to see a river for a similar price but adds some fold equity, we can fold better hands sometimes he lays the pockets & we fold out his air that has equity against us as it's going to be difficult to get to showdown and also win here - kinda like a semi bluff

think it's probably better to call & keep pot small in position but it's an idea

Raising makes price expensive. We are ip and we pot control.

I think this hand can make sense as a part of polaraized raising range however I believe call vs big sizing is OK on micros
