I fold preflop unless CO has a very high steal%, in which case I reraise.

The way this hand plays out is why: you can call down but you may well be valuetowning yourself vs AK, or you're just getting pushed out later.
At this point I either fold or turn my hand into a bluff by check-raising to $60 or so.
An AF=5.55 type guy isn't calling much so a turn c/r has good fold equity vs him I guess.

Donking flop is always a good option.

As played call the turn.

I am not sure that turning our hand into a bluff here is profitable. I mean the only hands that are better than us are KQ/AK/AA and there is no way they are gettign folded out in a CO vs. BB situation. (forget the sets, because they are never folding).

As played I am probably calling, and then depending on whether his river agg his high as well, I will be calling again.

I call and soul read river based on timing/bet size and how the light is reflecting off of the moon.
