I promised some of my own donkey hands, so here goes:
1.
limp 55 somewhere in MP after the UTG player limps, folds to CO who raises to $15, UTG calls, I call. CO immediately strikes me as a solid player who gives the fish a lot of credit, he has folded to every donk bet into him*. I haven't played a single hand in the 4-5 orbits since he sat down, he has $700+ in front of him. UTG is a fish, he will check-call weak hands and then fold to a turn bet or river bet with a missed draw and will check-raise strong hands, almost never leads.
Flop: Ad6h4c
UTG checks, I decided a bet here folds out almost all of the CO's range, and the UTG is easy to play against. I lead for $25 and they both call, end of hand. Lightening strikes on the turn.
Turn: 5c.
UTG checks, I bet $65, CO calls, but really looks like he wanted to raise, UTG folds.
River: 7x (not a club)
the pot is ~$250 I have about $450ish behind. I decide I'm near certain this guy has Aq/k/j/Tcc and after a rather long time (30ish seconds) I decide to bet $75. he snap raises to $250 total. I decide there is really only one value hand he has to raise with and a bunch of hands he might decide are no good and turn into bluffs (mostly Axcc hands), I call. Villain tables QcTc, I scoop a $750 pot.
2. SB with AcJc, 5 limpers to me, I elect to call, BB checks.
Flop: AJ9r $12 in the pot, I have ~$340ish behind.
I lead the field for $15, BB calls, UTG+2 makes it $50, MP makes it $125, I go all in, BB calls, UTG+2 has this dumbfounded look on his face and folds, MP calls. BB only had $100ish left, so the main pot is ~$450, side pot is ~$425. I table my AJ, MP just stands up and starts getting his stuff (he later said he had A9 and thought I would have raised AJ/JJ pre). BB has T8 and rivers a 7. It's not everyday that a $12 pot blows up into a $850ish one.
