SB(BU) 100bb Hero
BB 300bb Fish 65/10(Full Ring Stats)

Hero has
A

Hero Opens 3bb
BB calls

Flop (6bb)
Q

BB donks 6bb
Hero Calls

Turn (18bb)
2

BB bets 18bb
Hero?

I wonder is there ever a point I should reraise to get max value or call down in case of he having top set?
Overall when the table is full, i don't see him bluffing too much but he do donk time to time with top 2 pair etc

Against a better opponent, call flop is standard and calling turn again seems standard to me, we've got too strong a hand to fold but we are beat enough of the time that getting it in seems too loose on top of the value we get from protecting our draws.

Against this opponent, who will have sets of 5s far more frequently than a tighter opponent, who will likely value it the same, and possibly value a bunch of 2p hands the same too, I think we need to prevent any scare cards from coming and just raise the flop.

Definitely at least calling flop and turn, but probably raising one -- maybe wait until the turn to raise.

River vs. a fish it will be tough to fold regardless.

As played turn is a super obvious raise - if villain is a fish we shouldn't worry too much about whether he has top set but rather how to extract value from weaker hands.

Raising flop also very attractive, unblocking q is great and plenty of straight draw / combo hands we want to put more $ in against.

I think the rainbow flop is something you can key in on. With middle set + backdoor flush draw you can probably raise the flop. However, the suit that is missing from the flop is diamonds and if we change your AhJh to AdJd and you no longer have the backdoor flush draw to go with your middle set, then calling on the flop is probably better.

Ran this through flop hero and it raises flop 100%

Though villain also leads only 3/4 pot at most, probably reflecting PFR's advantage on this texture.

As played, solver still re-pots as played on turn.

Don’t mind the flat with the straight blockers, springing the trap on the turn 100%.

Vs a 60%Vpip fish who donks on this board for full pot I expect to see **** straight draws and garbage a lot, sometimes even wild **** that’s stacking off like dry KK.

When I pot turn I’m hoping to rep a turned FD vs any 2 pair.
