I had opponent marked as passive and had a note he limped A4o in EP. So he should be a calling station.

Once he insta-donkbets the flop like that I just think he limped with an Ace preflop again. Instead of calling or raising normally decided to just push because I thought he wouldn't let go of that ace now that he flopped it and put in that money. Maybe he folds a very low ace every now and then, but I think he will have a hard time letting go of A9+ and really I'm thinking sometimes weaker Aces will call.

I pushed because I didn't want him to fold later on, but onthe other hand, the board is so dry, he probably will not fold an Ace later on?

Normally I wouldn't push, I mean against somebody that can have a set as well.

You have an ace in your hand and theres one on the board that knocks out alot of Ax combos in villains range. If he’s a generic calling station I don’t expect him to fold too frequently on the runout, I would just make value bet flop turn and river for reasonable sizings on all but the worst run outs for us I think.

I see why you would shove trying to get max value if he has Ax but thats only part of his range and your missing alot of value versus if you made normalish sized bets I think, alot of times I think players donk with marginal made hands and when they get raised they assume theyre beat

If villain is really fishy a shove on flop isn't to bad but in general I would just call the flop to keep villains bluffs in his/her range. Board is dry on the moment.
