2) we have the Ace of spades. This is crucial to our decision, as we're now far less likely to get three bet even when we lose (as he cant have the nuts). Because he can't have the nuts and we can, we're allowed to make thinner value raises.

Any turn card? I did consider this myself but decided to just raise right away in the few seconds it took me to get over being confused by the donk.

I like the delayed raise on dry boards, but not so much on drawy ones. Are there any hands you could have that you would not delay here?

This is quite a dry flop against the range you assigned him.

not every turn, but like 40 of them.

probably calling everything on this board (on the flop).

I would never delay against a donk.

If Villain check raised, then you have (a) confidence they're leading the turn, and (b) an indication they're aggressive and often doing this with worse hands.

Donking is a passive move, unless they're donking to 3-bet.

If Villain check-raised, I would call and raise turn.

Bad luck hitting 1 of 2 cards that cost you 2 extra BB.

Yep, I've seen it called the "a**hole card" in other threads here.

I guess this assumption was wrong. Even still, there's just more combos of AQ, QQ, 66 from a "tight" reg than flushes when you can see the Ac in your hand. KQ, KJ, KT, QJ, JT, T9 maybe? Paying off the three bets is fine, too.

I don't understand why you are now saying your assumption was wrong. He didn't have a worse hand than my set of aces, so we still don't really know if he could have 3-bet one or not.

I'm really bad at typing from my phone on here, so I meant that I wouldn't have expected him to three bet you with all of his flushes, even if he had them, fearing the nuts. He still may just call with the J hi or even Q hi.

Think you played the hand well; rodeo's suggestion to call and raise/call turn is fine, too.

I ran this with a tight range on Equilab and even then, 89.4% equity for AsAc, so I'd just raise that river without blinking knowing this and probably 5 bet him even in such a good spot.

99+, AJs+, KQs, AQo+ range.... 89.4% with all the cards out.

Last time I 5-bet though, they 6'd and I called and got shown a straight flush to my flush, worthy of a payoff, no tilting, next hand please dealer! >8)

Time before that, Top full, and I lost to quads.

Your ranges here are ridiculous and in no way relate to any prior discussion of this hand.

Hey trillig,

Not to be a jerk, but how our hand is doing against his preflop range really doesn't have much bearing on how we're doing against his donk/call, redonk, bet range. It only does insofar as that we can start him off w/ a narrow range of combos and whittle down from there (as in, he won't donk/redonk AJhh or 99).

We're much more likely to be up against a range of:

Flushes (KQ, KJ, KT, QJ, QT, JT we'll give him)
Sets (QQ, 66)
Two pair (AQ)

That's 6 flush combos, 6 sets, and 3 two pair. We like our hand enough to raise against this range (especially since I think it's more likely he shows up w/ 66 than KT/QT/JT here), but we are certainly nowhere close to 89.4% equity. We're probably between 50% (if he has all the flushes and never has AQ, which is possible as we've the A of flush draw in our hand) and 75% or so (in a hugely optimistic case of him not redonking his made flushes often).

So while I agree it's a raise, it's an absolute crying call if 3 bet. 4 betting is suicide.

Me? I'd have thumped this river with another raise, if he re-raises, just fast call.

Looking it over, pre-flop raised and tight player, if he's paired you are a winner, he just happens to have 2 big clubs, oh well, you reasonably paid him off, it's limit, it happens.

When villian 3 bets river we have a crying call and 4 betting really only becomes a suicidal bluff given we have Ac. Lol at 4betting for value, I would have just called villians donk OTR.

On the river, when he 3 bets your options are fold or call

If you accidentally 4 bet the river and he 5 bets, you don't have to snap call the 5 bet.

I really want to fold to the 3 bet but what can you do. It's just a river FU card.
