Donking vs tight cbettor

I have small sample vs this plyr, but I've seen he cbets pretty tight and plays top pair pretty fwd ( he can check mosters in dry flops), so after he flats my flop donk, pretty unlikely he's got tp+, and he's got more Tx, some random 5 or some weak flushdraws, as there are more str8draw and fd combos than Tx or 5x combos, i decide to 2ble barrel on that turn, thinking he'll let go his weak draws, but he called again, and I got lost on the river...finally decided to jam as flushdraws missed, and only Q9 (got a blocker so less combos of that) and T9 got there. I don't think many players will fold Tx, so is this really a spewy 3ple barrel??

Hi, I dont link donk on this

Hi,

I dont link donk on this flop. The main reason is there are not many ovecards you can barrel, I would rather donk flop like 753ss.

In my opinion Tx is never folding here to 3 barrels because villain will easily put you on busted draw. As played turn is very bad card to barrel, board didnt change its structure. On the river, jam is EV-, I didnt see anything he can fold here.

I agree with tightfish. I'd

I agree with tightfish.

I'd also say that the board is too draw-heavy to donk bet as a bluff. Even if I were in position, I'd be checking this flop most of the time.

I would have to say: donk betting as a bluff is rarely a good play. Opponents can often float you with no hand or draw, or play back right there. Triple barrell is an especially bad line here given the turn and river cards. Once again, I agree with tightfish: nothing will fold.

I think

everything you described about this player paints a picture of someone you don't want to donk this board into and esp double this turn in fact there are no good turns of you to double on.

Bauce.
