briachek ???

unless you had a wrap straight draw or a gutshot, that didn't help him but are you willing to risk your stack? he could have a double flush draw too. What do you do?

Standard line for me is a fold here.

In the other hand this opponent donked you with less than the nuts. He is either doing that habitually, in which case you should probably continue, or he remembers your play from that hand and is trapping you, having the nuts this time.

I'd watch this opponent for a while and try and find out what's going on in his mind when he decides to donk. Some people do this when they want to test the waters, some do it to create confusion, others do it because they all of a sudden decide they like their hand.

Understand why he donks and you'll know how to play him for the rest of your life.

Hey, sorry to intrude a question from an NL player/Omaha total newbie, but:

What does the verb "to donk" mean in this context?

Thanks.

often it is when someone leads out flop and calls a raise and then leads out into again on the turn, many times on a blank turn. In omaha, there are rarely blank card as anything can help anyone.

I did fold in this instance.
