the villian 14/7
I'm not sure shoving here. pot is not that huge and I hit A, the villian wants
to go all-in.. his stat says he lies rarely and there is another villian to act so he have a strong hand. what is the most profittable play??

I dont really like donking flop. The villian looks llike a good player so its standard raising your donk flop bet with everything putting you on a draw.
Shoving over the top looks sexy, but with a Q on the flop, theres more combos of hands the villian will beat you with. Nit it up and fold.

When you first saw the flop, were you happy about it? Were you willing to get stacks in?

Were you betting flop for value or as a bluff?

The pot is actually pretty big for stack sizes. Effective SPR is 3. You have TPTK. You should be committed, although I admit it's tough to see what you beat.

I think the key is to figure out why you were betting. Were you bet/folding? If so, then why even call PF with AK if you're going to bet/fold TPTK.

You can't just call here. What do you think is going to happen once you've put in 60% of your stack? Are you going to fold if villain puts you AI on the turn?

So you see how the SPR says you're committed. Not a pretty spot, but if you're unsure about shoving here, then you probably shouldn't have bet. And if you're unwilling to get it in here with TPTK, then you should have folded pre.

Otherwise, you can CRAI instead of bet/shoving. At least villain's range will be wider this way.

EDIT: Limp/call flop. As played, fold it.
