I think it's an easy fold. Your only beating a bluff or a K with a weak kicker, especially praying villian has KJ here. He can easily have K10 or even K5. I think you gotta fold here.

We're really snapcalling here against someone w/ an AF of 1? I know hes a half stack but really??

I see such a variety of stupid hands in this spot and we beat most of them. Besides, the low AF makes me think he would take a more passive line if he really hit that flop big. Or at least try to milk something by making a smaller raise.

It's only 80 hands. Plus it's pretty hard for a donk with a loose VPIP to have a manic aggression factor.
In these spots I've seen such a ridiculously wide range, underpairs, A high, random xx, etc

This is an insta call.

One thing I noticed when reading this post. All the people with only around 100 posts or less say easy fold, you're behind. Everyone with alot of posts says insta call. (Granted my 500 or so isn't alot) but I've been around here for a few years. Just a strange little observation.

This is a very standard call. Especially given his stats. He has random hands her and many underpairs to the K often. I wouldn't be suprised if he showed up with JJ here.

I'm here to learn. Opinions seem decidedly unanimous. Too bad he turned up w/ something here.
