Odd donk lead

[JibNinjas]

A little background, i just took a decent size pot off of this guy in the last hand. i folded because i thought that he was making such a large bet to look like he was on tilt and get me to call. was folding too nitty, should i have shoved with the info that i had?

it turned out that he was on tilt after he stacked off to me about 5 hands later when i had the nut flush and he spiked a 4 to give him a pair of 4's with 9 kicker.

oh, and he was a 36/0 after about 40 hands. lol

I think I like your fold here. He's a donk so take his stack when you are a clear favorite and he pulls some junk like this.

[k-off]

I would also fold. He could easily be playing some junk ace. Use your position and stack him with another hand.

just wait for better opportunity to stack him, especially when he is on tilt against you

[zayphod]

Im folding. If he is bluffing there are much better spots to go after his stack (as you found out )

[no eff eks]

Bleh... He's going to show up with a flush draw a lot here, but when he doesn't have a flush draw he's got you in horrible shape. Pretty standard fold, although I'd be sad about it.

This is kind of a bad way to think about things. You should be looking for any +EV situation to get money in the pot. If you lose you can always reload, so passing up a slightly marginal +EV spot because you think you can stack the guy easier later is a mistake.

It's correct to do that sometimes in tournaments, but never pass up a chance to win money in a cash game.

thats what i thought, it just hurt to fold KK and this guy was such a donk i hated folding. but because i could not convince myself that he did not have the Ace a good % of the time i had to fold. it was just an odd play.

and it made me feel a lot better to take his stack in the next orbit. he then left so i do not feel i left money on the table.

I agree with everybody. While his bet could mean anything, it's too big to call. It's also ridiculous. There's no money going in unless you have at least an ace with a decent kicker. If he's doing this as a bluff (and there's a good chance he is, because with a big hand he should check raise, but who knows with a bet this weird), he's risking too much for too little. And if he's on tilt, you're going to stack him sooner or later anyway, as you discovered 5 hands later.
