Why did you bet so small?

[shano_88]

IS this a DON? Ive never really played them before but If so, I might consider a fold pre.


As played, I bet bigger on the turn and check back the river.

so if he shipped river I could fold easy

[A_CitizenErased]

I think you played it fine. The bet only educed a fold anyway and he checked the whole way. I think if he shipped the chips it was gonna be a bluff anyway.

yeah its DON, its the river bet I kinds feel like I shouldnt have done it as soon as I bet
Doesnt feel optimal to bet on the river here?

Ya, i wouldn't bet the river here in a DON unless i knew he was a big fish.
