Vill: 31/14/80 hands
Agg fac: 7.0

I wanted to get as much value in there as I could. I thought if he is donk betting me he must have a hand. But he folds.
Was it better to call, see happens later on and maybe raise him on turn or river?

You're 150bb deep so you can expect him to play more cautiously.

Preflop: Raise more - $0,28. We're both deep so we want to build the pot if we hit our hand. Also, we don't want to see more players on the flop.

Flop: This is quite good flop for us :) After your big raise, there are only two options - fold or shove.

His range for going broke here is very small:


Board: J♠3♠K♣
       Equity     Win     Tie
BU     47.95%  37.26%  10.69% { AsKs }
SB     52.05%  41.36%  10.69% { JJ, 33, KJs, AdKd, AhKh, AKo, KJo }

His range for donking into you is much wider, it consists some smaller :spade: :spade:, some SD like QT, some AJ, KQ,...
That's why I would only call his donk and make my move on the turn. Also, his donk is quite big, so the pot will be $1,23 on the turn. This means we'll be able to get our stack in on later streets.
I know slowplaying with TPTK is usually not a smart idea, but I think this situation is good opportunity to try it.

Hello RasTweet,

What are you trying to achieve with the raise on flop? You are just going to make a lot worse hands to fold, rather just Call and keep bluffs in the hand and of course a lot weaker hands. :)

Best Regards.
