Hi Everyone. This is my first time posting. I've recently gone back to the beginning at is it were. I'm trying to rebuild my skills from the ground up so I can learn to identify and plug leaks better. As a result, I've been playing a lot of NL2 lately. Anyway, I don't know if I made a mistake in this hand or not and could use other eyes on it. Should I have known to fold and get away from the full house? Or did I just get beat and was betting into the nuts and there isn't a hell of a lot I could do about it? Thanks in advance... and I hope I post this right

Don't donk river. Either raise turn or hope for a triple barrel.
Other than that it's an obvious cooler, I wouldn't expect a lot of nl2 villains to lay down trips in this spot.

If we have a flatting range vs an UTG open this is probably on the border, but is probably fine for a 2.5bb open.

Gotta raise somewhere before river i think. Im personally raising flop. Definitely dont donk river AP.

We need to be check raising this flop for fat value. Maybe on a rainbow board you can delay the raise. As played, leading river is silly. He's saying he has an ace or nothing. Why lead into that range when he will do the betting himself? It gives him an opportunity to get away with his bluffs, and misses huge value from his Ax, should he choose to just call.

I always check-raise the flop with 99/77, which sets up a turn barrel and river jam that puts villain into a cage when he has AK/AQ.

Donking the river is really peculiar/bad, and there is an argument for folding once villain raises, because he should always have aces full (like A9s or A5s) if not AA.

He might overplay trips to be honest vs hero weird line.

This is a cooler imo. It’s less likely he has A9,A5 with a UTG raise.
