Villain is 35/20 over about 100 hands and is almost playing decent 6-max typed poker postflop at full ring, but is definately a bit overaggressive. I don't really like my line, but don't know where I could change it. I'm pretty sure if I donk the flop or check-raise him, he's just gonna reraise me. I could donk the turn, but I don't know what good that does me....Anyway, thoughts??

IMO Nehmer I would leave the river action out, I think it will skew opinions.

The question is how many times does AK/AQ fire a 3rd barrell compared to how many times they call a donk from you.

B/f seems too weak
b/c seems like a spew
checking gives up too much value

I think it's just a tough spot. I probably b/c. You want A hi hands to call you as well as not letting 88/A9 check behind. If raised I could probably find enough hands in his range to make a call worth it.

double donk? with a good read you might be able to fold to his raising your turn donk.

I probably just c/c down. AK AQ aint callin a river donk anyway. Biggest concern is 88 checking behind, and i'm not too worried. Good spot for passivity, me thinks.

Wrong. On this flop, Ace high will call a donk with overcards often enough to consider a bet. However, too many hands will beat us to bet, especially if he is overly aggressive as indicated and may bluff raise us, and we would have to fold.

I like a check/call. Win the most, lose the least against likely overcards with such a bland board.

I cap preflop, bet and re-raise the flop, bet turn and river, but consider c/c on the river if raised on the turn. If I know he 3-bets as loose as he raises preflop, and is loose/aggressive post-flop, I'm going to lead every street almost no matter what the action is. Depending on reads, 3-betting the turn can even be good value.

Basically it is leading out with a bet on a street when somebody else put out the last bet/raise on the previous street.

I wouldn't 3bet the flop, just bet and call the raise. I'd bet again on turn and c/c on river (whether I got raised on turn or not)

How loose is he in calling bets / raises, particularly on big streets? Will he bet the river with ace high? I think it's hard to construct the best line without knowing more about how he plays.

littleogre has a little shameless behaviour in the past
The line i would use and you guys may disagree but it works well for me versus overly aggressive players.

flop cc
turn cc
river cr
