In my experience you are almost never good here. He has one of the following hands- A5,A7,AK,K5,K7,55,77,AA,KK or less likely 57. I would fold.

Would have to consider 2pair + here. 55, 77,. I discount AA, KK, AK think he would raise pre oop. He did donk into two players otf. The A otf, and the K ott has to be in your perceived hand range. Poss he takes this line with 6c8c pre, otf, ott, but I dont see too many players semi bluff x/r ott. I shake my head and fold it.

Easy fold. Why are you betting the turn?

for value ?

It's a weird leveling spot when someone reggish donks 1/3 pot on Axxtt.

His flop range consists of 2p, sets and draws imo. His smallish bet is either to induce a raise from Ax with 2p/set/combodraw or to see a cheap turn with a draw. He's a total sicko if he c/r a draw on the turn here. The fact you didn't raise the flop sort of caps your range and he'll get a ton of folds. You pretty much have weakish Ax here almost always and one pair hands tend to fold to turn c/r.

Did you consider raising flop?

As EUSSI said for value.

Did you consider raising flop?

I did but didn't want to face a 3bet and I thought it is either way behind or way ahead.Also he donk bet with a fishier player (not full buy in) so that makes it more likely he has something.And I want also the fish inside.This in the game.

Now that I am thinking it more deeply when I raise this flop what I am rep ? Also what is he donk range ? Is he ever calling with worse Ax or draw ? Is he ever 3bet bluff ? What is the best line vs my whole range ? Should I have a raising range in the first place ?

I can't find solid answers. What do you think ?
