NLHE: Small M question: call or raise?
I've noticed quite often that when somebody donks out on me, i probably could have forced them out if I had just called, then bet on the flop. Example:
My hand: AQs
Their hand: 82d
Flop: 3d 10c Ac
Turn and river: two diamonds.
However, this would only seem to work with M's higher than 5. Under 5, this seems like a pretty useless play. For example:
My M = 5
Post bb = 4.5
Min raise from the button, call: 4, pot = 4.5 X bb.
Going all in at this point would barely be a pot-sized bet, any lower than starting at 5 and it would be smaller than the pot.
So, my question is: if you had a good hand with a small M, is it a better play to go all in pre-flop or post-flop? Is only raising an option at any point? What would be the best play in the above situation? Is there something you look for?
Your question is a little hard to understand, but whenever I am calling a raise (even a min raise) and my M is low I will consider that a pretty big factor in folding. I would rather wait, and with the conditions right (folded to me, a decent holding) I will push.
