fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to $0.05, SB calls $0.04, BB calls $0.03

Flop: ($0.15, 3 players) 3♥ K♥ Q♣
SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets $0.11, SB calls $0.11, BB calls $0.11

Turn: ($0.48, 3 players) 5♦
SB checks, BB bets $0.48, Hero calls $0.48, SB calls $0.48

River: ($1.92, 3 players) 5♣
SB checks, BB bets $1.13 and is all-in, fold, fold

BB wins $1.80

Pre - I wouldn't normally steal from BTN with K3s but both players fold to steal very often, so I think it's ok with this hand to steal in this situation.

Flop - Pretty standard I think.

Turn - That donk bet worries me, maybe I should have shoved? I don't know really, because there is still a guy to act after me (who I am pretty sure is on a flush draw)

Looking back over the hand now it should have been either Shove or Fold on the turn, not ever Call?

River - Standard fold?

BB looks like a fish and his turn pot donk doesn't make much sense on that card, so I think we can shove with two pairs and expect calls from flushdraws and top pairs.

I do not like shoving when villain pot sinks mw. Just call.

Pot donk looks scary but it doesn't make much sense. If he has 55, then great for him, but I think shoving here and expecting calls from draws and some top pair hands is ok.

Agree. Makes life easier to just shove the turn, though the potsize donk also makes me worry a bit since it's multiway, but you never know the random factor that comes with weaker players on the micros

NL2 shortstack player playing with almost 60vpip. He is very unpredictable and can do anything. That donk might be a pure bluff too. Now he is repping 55 only.

As played 55 is even less likely and villains turn donk looks even more weird so I would call.

This guy will be aggressive on flop with medium hands.

Thanks for your thoughts as usual everybody :f_thumbsup:

If there is one thing I've learnt at the micros it's that Villian's are usually quite passive, so when they start betting, especially pot size (& especially multiway) they usually are very strong.
