Hey guys, just wondering how you would have played this hand. In general I find that my trouble spots in which I am not sure what to do is when the opponent leads out on the flop. Especially when I was the pre flop aggressor.

Q1) In this case I was just wondering whether calling the flop and turn is alright, or whether re raising is an other alternative?

Q2) Would you have played the river any differently?

I checked the river back as at this point I didn’t want to run the risk of creating a much larger pot / facing a re raise with a hand that I was not sure was ahead.

I would play this hand as you did.

In my experience a donkbet headsup is usually a random pair. I prefer to call down with tptk over raising.

On the river I think we may find a semi thin value bet. In this case we could play bet/fold with a rather small sizing around max 1/3-1/2 pot, but checking behind is not a big mistake imo.

I would have played exactly the same way.

On flop we don't need to raise, we'll get called by better hands and won't get much value from worse hands. We also don't need protection, first because our hand may already be behind, also because if villain has a flush draw and the flush completes on the turn, we'll be drawing to nut flush.

For me flop and turn are clear calls and I wouldn't raise at any point. Would probably fold the river if he bets and be happy to check back when he checks.
