This was very early on in the tournament and I had no reads on either of the villains that joined the hand.

I probably would have made a 1/2 to 2/3 pot c-bet with that board but wasn't quite sure what to make of the donkey bet. I had my suspicions that it was a bluff but without reads or a made hand I thought it best to cut my losses and fold.

Do you think this play is too weak? What would you usually put an opponent on with a donkey bet? Donkey bets are definitely one of the things I find hardest to decipher without good experience of playing against a certain opponent.

i think fold is much better, because it's early stage and no need to risk our tournament life here with some tricky plays and still you have one villain to act behind you.

Hi all,

Call flop, see the turn in position. I think I fold if he makes it 200 or more though, because more likely he's gonna keep betting turn/river if that's the case.
