ZOOM: AA on dangerous board vs donkbets

Again no stats on villain?

Hey!

With no stats on villain and judging by the board, the fact that he donk-bets both flop and turn, I'd say that you are break-even at most.

I'd fold the hand too, as played. However, I'd raise the flop donk. If he has a draw of some kind, you'll give him an expensive turn card.

The problem is we do not have backdoors - just 2 outs.

If you are referring to the flop donk-bet, I'd say that he should raise in order to give draws a hefty price for the next card. Sure, hitting the A on the turn is great, but it's only a bonus.

No, I mean that raising with the Ah in our hand is better.

I see what you mean, but I'd need two running OTT and OTR, in this case. And even if I hit the flush, I won't be paid after. I'd pass this opportunity.

So you prefer to raise without having Ah in your hand?

On the flop I'd raise with any two of the four aces in the deck. Heart or no heart.

And would prefer to make a raise when I have the Ah in my hand.

sick i find this interesting because i dont think 6x is that likely and we cant say if he keeps vbetting his 2p+ on the 4-straight

Raise flop and reevaluate. I don't like to give cheap cards given the ugliness of the flop.

I would raise the flop. Not sure what to do if he 3bets then, but I believe we should fold. As played, fold on the turn is fine, I think. If we decide to call, we should fold the river.
