Do you have a donking range?

Do you have a donking range?

Wondering if anyone donks here ever? What that range would look like and under what circumstances. I don't ever really donk but I'm wondering if incorporating it into my game would up my winrate.

IMHO, donk betting is a good option sometimes. It's also a very rarely used tool in most people's toolboxes. I personally have a hard time using the flop donkbet as much as I should, and I am trying to use it more often going forward.

For example, I recently saw a crusher in my local player pool take a flop donkbet --> large turn bet --> very large river shove line in a really interesting spot.

5/5/10/20 with bounty: Reg opened 65 EP, Tilted reg fish flatted MP, tilted loose passive fish called in 1st 5, crusher called in the 10 with the bounty button, 20 folded.

4-ways Flop ($275): Th7x5h. Tilted loose passive fish checked. Crusher donked?!?!?! $200, EP PFR folds, MP called, SB folded.

Heads-up Turn ($675): Qx. Crusher bets $550. MP calls.

Heads-Up River ($1775): 5x. Crusher shoves 1.4k effective. MP tanks forever and then calls. Crusher shows KT offsuit and wins.

Sidenote: Crusher was drinking at the table and was in super LAG mode this session. And he had the bounty button, so he ended up collecting $25 from each other player at the table when he won this pot. So the meta game here is quite interesting.

On turn when middle card pairs and occasionally when top card pairs.

+1 for this, awesome play. Have made a lot off it


Depends on villain(s) and board, really, but I do have one.
