Flop - I prefer check/r instead of donk, then bet turn and bet river.

I can't tell what position you're in here.

You should be opening to steal A8s from CO, BU, and SB only if you're the first to enter in my opinion. Sometimes MP3 against certain opponents.

Against a 3bet and we're OOP, I also fold this one preflop.

As played, check raise the flop (because even if he doesn't have an ace its a good spot to bluff), and then bet/bet/bet as he often has a strong ace like AQ, AK and will pay you off in most cases.

Hello Keifla,

Here is some help for you how to convert hands and post them in correct format: link.

Preflop: About the play vs the min-raise of course calling is still fine. But I don't understand your donk on the flop at all? Let him CB the flop and then Check/Raise it.
Flop: Furthermore you should be 3betting it bigger and maybe even just shove it cause you would have invested more money than 1/2 of your stack.
Turn: Or as played the turn shove it, why would you leave small amount behind and give him correct odds to draw? ;)

Best Regards.

Thanks for the link, will use that in future! Apologies for the unformatted post.

The donk on the flop ring my raise to 0.70? Looking back it was a poor play, not sure why I decided to do that. I was in two minds whether or not to go all in on the turn, I was sure I was ahead so didn't want to scare him off the pot.

Thanks for the evaluation and input from others.
