No way. That's not donktacular. Trips vs underfull is almost always going to
have all the money in the middle on the flop


KQ vs AT is donk city

You people need to learn Morphy's mind better. I didn't even get the
benefit of the turn and river cards and still guessed the hands almost
perfectly, first guess Smile

Hint: 88 is far too strong for the second player to have.

DINGDINGDING!

Incidentally, my first guess was A2 UTG vs KQ SB.

Ace high no kicker (i.e. not AQ/AK), vs no pair no draw no ace.

I can read morphy's soul.

Ace must be right. 88 could be right, which means AJ for the win.

If so, it's about 60-40 on the flop
Not sure it's fully donkish.

Rob and James Hoffmann got it right. A9o UTG vs. 87s on the SB (who made
the final call btw yet was rewarded for his cunning trap). I sat there
shaking my head while the players called each other names. Good times for
all.

A9 vs 83 ? Donks love to minraise with bottom
pair when they put their opponent on AK.
