villain is 35/18/1.4 over 250 hands. Check back on the turn vs this guy ? It seemed like a river value bet

BB ($317.25)
UTG ($198)
UTG+1 ($200)
MP1 ($42)
MP2 ($75)

Preflop: Hero is CO with A, A
4 folds, Hero raises to $6, 2 folds, BB calls $4

Flop: ($13) 2, 5, 4 (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $9, BB calls $9

Turn: ($31) 5 (2 players)

Other than possibly a larger Turn bet I like the way you played it and I think calling here on the river is the only play. What is his range and what does he perceive your range to be??

It looks more like a faux river block bet to me but raising it has little value.

i personally like to bet this Turn. I'd rather be betting it and making an ez fold on the River then c/c and play a guessing game. He's got the nuts or nothing imo, and someone playing nearly 40% of their hands doesn't strike me as someone who's making advanced plays here. Just my thoughts.

Normally, I dont do range analysis for donkish players. They only think about their own cards and the texture of the board, so i thought its a value bet on his part given his low AF.

Not a bad practice to get into imo - despite their 'donkishness'

Precisely. Level 1 poker.

As far as I know we're betting this turn in the hopes of taking it down right away. When we don't it's prob a safe assumption that we're beat. This is really an interesting spot.

He's bad, I like my hand. Not enough information that convinces me he's got my Aces beat.

get reads, it's a fish who plays a lot you should know this guys game better than 3 stats.

Looks a lot like a vbet though without reads and I don't think you played this hand badly if you folded.
