BB is a loose pasive player prelfop (fish). His range of 3bet vs steal from sb is only (+TT,+AQs, AKo). Play pasive flop/turn is std. The interestig thing is the move on the river. I will assume that he bet with all of his range preflop on the turn.

The question: donk or x/r river?

Total of combos: 41
EQ river: 97.55%
Total pot of x/r (including my bet and his call): 10BB
Total pot of donk (including his call; Is a completly fish will not retire with AKo): 8BB

Assumptions:

Looking for a check/rasie:
- (9/41 he bet 100% of times ) EV = (0.9755 * 10) - 2 = +7.755BB
- (32/41 he check behind) EV = (0.9755*6) - 0 = +5.85BB

Donk:
- (3/41 he raise, I 3bet and he call) EV = (0.9755 * 12) - 3 = 8.70BB
- (38/41 he call) EV = (0.9755 * 8) - 1 = 6.80BB

Seeing this I like the donk, what do you think?

$0.50/$1 Limit Hold'em Cash, 3 Players
Preflop: Hero is SB with A J
BTN folds, Hero raises, BB 3-bets, Hero calls

Flop: (6 SB) 4 Q 2 (2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets, Hero calls

Turn: (4 BB) Q (2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets, Hero calls

River: (6 BB) 8 (2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets, Hero raises, BB calls

Results: 10 BB pot (0.5 BB rake)
Final Board: 4 Q 2 Q 8
Hero showed A J and won 9.5 BB (4.5 BB net)
BB showed A K and lost (-5 BB net)

passive players tend to play chk / bih to scare card on the river that I see no reason not to play d3b in best case. I definitely played donk
