Guess this is super stantard vs fish donk bet just got unlucky on turn. Any other lines vs fish min donks?

Edit: Of course I could just call flop and see cheap turn.

preflop: raise bigger to 750
flop: just call and evaluate, BB is donking into multi-way pot, he hit something on the flop
turn: as played, check behind, we want to see a cheap showdown

don't show results

^^ What Robert said with regard to flop, I'd be more inclined to raise the minbet HU but a check would also be okay HU too. I guess as played I would give up ott fairly often, it's hard to bluff station fish. Pre however I like sizing it 600-650, as there are a couple of shorties at your table.

Pre I'd make it rather 750, that is 2.5BB - with AK we can consider that "For value" and it brings a minimum level of isolation against much worse pocket cards. 600 is a min raise and imho that is and looks weak, nothing I'd consider with AK. As played - just can't bluff call stations. Call it down to the river, if you hit A or K then bring in more value. Against call stations its kinda impossible to bluff, usually wasted chips if your intention was to get him to fold. Can still bring in value on the river if you hit something.

minraise is fine imo, maybe do it 700 max. as played dont raise as big on flop, a much smaller raise will get you at least the same # of folds. as he calls the raise i try to get a cheap river cause we still may hold the best hand sometimes
