This is one of those marginal spots AQ in last early pos, where I choose to play the hand. Only read/tell I have is that seat 4 is a donk.

Table Wadsworth - $0.05/$0.10 - No Limit Hold'em
Seat 1: artman67 ($4.70)
Seat 2: esastu ($3.55)
Seat 3: IceWindX ($21.50)
Seat 4: Fitz73 ($3.30)
Seat 5: OMGheadshot ($10.80)
Seat 6: Scotty Moon ($9.65)
Seat 7: The French D ($1.85)
Seat 8: arsti ($1.85)
Seat 9: 77 Goldnutz 77 ($10.30)
Fitz73 posts the small blind of $0.05
OMGheadshot posts the big blind of $0.10
The button is in seat #3

Uncalled bet of $1.15 returned to The French D
The French D mucks
The French D wins the pot ($1.75)

Since my hand is big do I call, then push the turn? Do I want to keep seat 1 in the hand until then? is a min-re-raise an option here against a donk?

PS- if I miss the flop I would check/fold it down.


You should fold AQ from UTG+1. Its much to weak a hand to be played from there. Flop play is good, no question about pushing here in my book.

Hi davidangel,

no such strategy applies in this spot. You played the hand well - raising on the flop with made top pair is a must here. His donkbet doesn't mean much, maybe he's willing to throw another bet in on the turn and maybe he's not. You also have to take into consideration that there are many drawing possibilities on the board, so you can't let him see another cheap card.
