    Default Now im starting to donk myself

    I was in the .10 dollar 1000 dollar gaurantee on FTP. I got pass the first break and all rebuys and was doing pretty well. I get K,J suited and raise three times the big blind. I get two callers and the flop comes K,Q,10. and I start to think yeah if they called me with an Ace they cant hit now so instead of going all in on the flop i changed my mind and decided to min bet and try and bait them in little. Boy was that a mistake!! The turn was a 2 and i thought nothing of it, but one of the players pushed all in.I call thinking i wont lose or suckout if i have to and the guy shows pocket 2's. wow how does it always come 2 for 2 outter wow. But i should have went all in on that flop,which wouldnt have changed anything the guy was a donk so you know what that means (thats right he would have called anyway)

    I disagree with you. It was a HUGE mistake to think you were ahead on the flop with Kings, Jack kicker. Yeah, you had an up and down straight draw, but thats it. Anyone with AK, KQ, K10, Q10, 9J, AJ, 10 10, QQ KK has you beat. And with two opponents against you, you have to think that you are behind.

    Now since you had the balls to bet on the flop, why not bet a decent sized amount? 3 people to the flop with a 3x BB bet PF, thats 10.5BB in the flop. I would bet roughly 7.5-8BB, not a min bet. That would have drove out the 2's and possibly won you the pot right their.

    When making a semi-bluff, you don't want to reel in the other players. What if they are slow playing you and you are only on a draw. You want to make it seem like you have a hand.
