River: ($3.67) J Club (2 players)
CO bets $3.52, Hero folds

On the flop i'm thinking:
1. He checked the flop with some SC, low PP type of hand, and he thought this hits my range well
2. He has a hand that can't really go for value, like QT,KK,TT etc

I bet really small because i targeted his air, that isnt really going to continue if i bet.
But he calls me on the flop and on the turn the A hits again and I turned a flushdraw. So here he donks into me which i didnt really expected, but i assumed he wouldve bet an Ace on the flop everytime. So i raise because I have pot equity + fold equity at this point in the hand. Is raising bad here?

Why do you assign him a range of only low PP and SC pre? Don't you think he would do this AA KK QQ AK AQ etc? I think this flop is a textbook example of a horrible flop to c-bet. On the turn, where do you think your FE is coming from?

Sry it was a typo i meant on the flop when he checked it to me. I dont get his line. If he had an Ace he would valuebet the flop right?

what are you hoping he's going to fold by raising the turn?
and how much of his over all range is it.

why are you betting flop? I could see him c/c any paint, Ax and maybe decent PP here.
I would check flop, call turn, fold river. It might seem weak but that board hits villain's range and you have a low end SD on flop and FD on turn after he's shown interest on an AA board.

I'd put him on an Ax holding which gives you zero FE on turn. You need your draw to come in and he's not giving you the odds (in fact his play pretty much screams "I have a set of Aces, don't you dare draw out on me w/ a flush)".

I think in this type of flop it's better to just check it down, or just fold to a bet....We have hit nothing and even if a T comes our straight might not even be good...The only saving grace here is that we are IP. It's very possible villain could have AX and doesn't want to fold on the flop. Against this villain, based on how he was playing would you consider 3 betting this hand pre IP?

Flop is fine. This looks a lot like Ax to me, so I'd just call the turn.
