Villain (MA Indian) in hand is ULTRA loose passive. He frequently calls for any straight or flush draws in any position, and will donk out when he has something like a pair w/ straight or flush draw. However he knows immediately when he is most likely beat. For the session though, he has been on an extreme heater chasing to the river and always showing down two pair, straights or flushes all night long. $1700 stack

Hero is TAG with heavy emphasis on aggression. Was card dead most of the night but when has played has either bet, or raised every time. Is viewed by the table as a player who is aggressive and will make sizable raises any street.

Hero in CO w/ $700, AJ
Villain in SB

Preflop: 2 limps, hero raises to 15, villain calls, 3 more calls.

Flop ($75): 47J

2 checks, random other villain donks $20, hero raises to $75, villain COLD calls $75, all fold.

Turn ($245): 8

Villain Checks, Hero?

Scenarios:

1. As played so far?

2. Check behind for pot control or bloat the pot? If bet, how much?

3. If checked (or betted) and river shows , Villain bets, Fold or call and how much are you willing to call?

Definitely bet/fold turn. Probably $180.

You can even go for more thin value on most river cards too.

If villain donks after a spade hits river I'm probably folding.

If you get raised, you can fold. If you get called, you can re-evaluate the next card. If you check back, it makes his range too large and playing a river could be tougher. If it's no spade, I would still go for value. If it is a spade, you'll probably know where you are at given his action.

Yeah I'm OK so far, flatting the flop would be OK to.
Turn I think we need to bet here, about ~50% pot
Not sure about bet-fold as stated above, it's a tough spot if we get raised on the turn, but we have tptk and a draw to the nuts.

No draw to the nuts though? Doesn't have Ah.... I think he should've flatted the flop to avoid a big pot on the turn with a one pair hand.

^mis read hand on my phone, sorry,
Ok, then I would definitely flat flop with no bdfd available here.
Turn after the raise on the flop I am checking through here I think,
If we hadn't raised flop I would be calling villans turn bet or, betting myself if villan checks.
