this guy limped in and I thought I'd try to isolate him with a raise, which I did, but then I got scared by his donk bet. Thinking maybe he was slowplaying aces. Ignoring whether or not I should have been raising preflop, what do you think of the shove? (considering if I had made a normal 3times raise it would have been more than half his stack and he would have been committed anyway)

It's a 6.5k 1r+1a btw..

- Fold preflop

- if you want to raise you have to make it atleast around 840

Your giving him way to good odds to call with anything he might open limp with... suited connectors, any pocket pair...

as for the shove... shoving is obv. better than making standard 3xbet... but not sure about it... without reads I'm leaning towards a fold in this spot... but on the other hand I would never find myself in a tough position here :P


i would just limp with my QTs.
QTs is not a good hand to isolate somebody although you might try if hes a big fish.
if you want to isolate him raise up to 900-1000.
so you have some more fold equity.

as played i would shove the flop also.
you have TPGK + backdoorflush.
if he holds aces he would not donk this dry board.
i think he holds a low pair like 77 trying to find out if he is up against AK
