Play hand

$0.02/$0.05 No-Limit Hold'em (6 handed)

Known players:
[tg]MP3$5.54:///////;CO$5.09:///////;BU (Hero)$7.55:///////;SB$5.00:///////;BB$7.71:///////;MP2$5.07:///////;[/tg]

Preflop: Hero is BU with A:c, J:s.
3 folds, Hero raises to $0.20, SB folds, BB calls $0.15.

Flop: ($0.42) 5:s, 3:d, J:c (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $0.25, BB calls $0.25.

Turn: ($0.92) 4:d (2 players)
BB bets $0.61, Hero calls $0.61.

River: ($2.14) J:d (2 players)
BB bets $1.05, Hero calls $1.05.

Final Pot: $4.24.
Results follow:

Spoiler

BB shows a flush, ace high(K:d A:d).
Hero shows three of a kind, jacks(A:c J:s).

BB wins with a flush, ace high(K:d A:d).

I think the hand plays fine, but when the villian donks into me on the turn should I raise? And should I call the river when the flush completes I just dont think I can fold trips here

Hey MAloco97,

Preflop is ok, but no need to make it 4x from the button generally unless there are big fish in the blinds.

Flop cbet is good.

Turn donk is very awkward. You can easily be beat at this stage, but opponent may also play draws or worse Jx this way.

River is close. Flush-draws get there. Opponent can play a set this way. You only need to be good 25% of the time to make the call though, and opponent can potentially show up with a worse Jx or a bluff. I think your call is ok, but you shouldn't be too excited about it, you will be losing a lot of the time here.
