I thought he had a lot of suited Aces in his range that would have given him a lot of straight and flush draws that he was chasing with.
If i had to put him on a specific hand it would have been AT.... but i definitely didn't see 23 being in his range especially being out of position facing a sizable raise
let me know if my thinking here is right.. I'm still learning and i don't always look at things the right way.
It’s better to leave results and the action you want to question most out bud.
I don’t mind anything here too much.
All I’d say is bb, already discounted and 1 caller before him and likely another after can call pretty wide given the pot odds.
Also once it’s 4 handed we’re much less likely to be ahead, so the flop bet can be smaller or even a check. A cheaper show down can be the plan.
But with an overpair on a draw heavy board there’s nothing too wrong in betting. Just have to be extra careful. Essentially the more players see a flop the more we’re likely beat!
Once the board pairs I’d check behind the turn, assuming a brick if v checked the river is out in a bet. Probably a bet fold line. If the river was an action card I’d re evaluate.
All of this might be tainted by knowing results though.
Gabe is correct, you'll get better answers if you don't post results.
I like your action up to the river. After the villain donks, you've got to re-evaluate. You are representing exactly what you have, an over pair or better. The villain isn't afraid. So, either he thinks he has a better hand and you'll call or he is making a really bad bluff since it's hard to lay down over pairs. Without more info, big bets generally mean big hands at this level, so, as hard as it is, a laydown is in order on the river until you see this villain getting out of line regularly.
A couple of notes:
Don't show that you had an over pair -- no reason to let the table know you are capable of making big lay downs. Let them think you got out of line with AKo.
Villain probably would have been better off checking and letting you bet your over pair or bluff with a busted AKo, or similar hand.
I thought he had a lot of suited Aces in his range that would have given him a lot of straight and flush draws that he was chasing with.
There are only 4 suited aces with a straight draw. A6s. There are only 8 probable Axs hands with a fd: A2, A5 (which already has the straight), A6 - AJ. AK/AQ should have reraised preflop. That leaves 7 fd hands. There are more possible hands that already have you beaten. 22 - 44 and 65. If you only assume 65s and leave out all 65o, that's 13 hands.

Never try to put anyone on a specific hand. And by the time it got to the BB, it was no longer a sizable raise. The pot was 51, and he only needed to call 18.
I think this was a flop bet, a turn check, and a river check call.
