Villain was donking almost every single flop and continued on the turn with smallish bets. I called him down 1-2 times and everytime it was weak pair or draws. On time he donked flop and bet turn big and I folded so I think his range here is mostly 7x, low pps and draws.

this line looks like complete bs and you can easily find a better hand to play back at him with here.

"Villain was donking almost every single flop" ... "I think his range here is mostly 7x, low pps and draws." That does not compute.

And shoving is very spewy imo.

spew

Why is it so spewing? If his range is 7x, low pps, draws and air (obv too...) I have FE vs his airballs, vs his pairs I got 6 outs and vs his draws I'm ahead.

You don't benifit (all that much) from folding out his air and I doubt villain will call your shove with a nakes draw unless it has some added equity. So you are usually drawing to 6 or less outs when you get called.

If you want to bluff this board, you can do so with a smaller raise-size and fold out about as much hands as you would have folded out with a shove. (He might decide to shove his oesd or something similar though, instead of folding it).

But that aside, your hand has some showdownpotential so i'd try to get to showdown if I have the odds to do so against his donking range (which we almost certainly have on the flop considering your description).

Just raise his flop donk if you want to bluff. But I wouldnt, it's too drawy.

Worst turn card to do it.

Your line here is fail! You have a 2:1 chip lead 20bb deep, keep it simple ffs!

Everything was stated before:
- If you want to bluff, check his donk lead on flop
- this turn card is pretty much the worst card to make a move
- overbetting looks soooo suspicious that you might get looked by any part of the board

OP,

Just call on the turn and reevaluate river. No need to bluff with your hand here.

err,
don't know why your betting to increase your fold equity vs his air (unless you think he has AT+). Sure its good to get him to fold out his equity in the pot, but if you think your equity is greater then let him pile in the $ with a smaller equity share.

Also it would help if you provided some reads into his preflop calling tendencies oop (as this would help putting him on a range here).

Generally I think most villains will just push there pp's at 20bb's oop so I would discredit seeing many pp's here. I also think a lot of villians will be 3bet shoving a lot of better A's here as well (like AT+, prob A9 some time though this again depends on reads) and your beating all other A's except A7, A9, A3, A2.

His bet sizing seems weak on the turn but I think raising here turns a hand that has pretty good show down value and is getting a good price to call and make a pair on the river into a bluff.

makes sense. ty.
