just ask yourself if you fold ace 10 here, your hand is worth a bit more but not a lot

mixchange hit it. your hand is pretty worthless at this point and villain is obv trying to get value here. i mean, hes not leading 1/2 pot OOP as a bluff after calling the flop 3bet.

well obv hes not bluffing. he probably plays lots of tens like this and jj/qq kind of stuff.

once you 3bet the flop you should be happily getting it in here.

don't fold aces here imo. The fact he didn't push the flop suggests no set/2p but more likely tp. Maybe he's playing funnily, but on the turn since you say this guys a donk, he might just be have that oop 'limbo' feeling and be pressing the 1/2 pot button with his tp because he's confused,doesn't know what to do and scared of you after the 3-bet.

then again my gut sense tells me he has you beat

Parislad, if your gut sense is that your beat, you've gotta fold. The only real outs for Hero are more aces - only two left. BTW, very few villains in my experience check-shove sets/2p on the flop. They're donks, and more likely to check-min-raise with strength (especially sets).

Anyway, Goat, mixchange and bode have it nailed. I think we gotta fold.

meh im not folding here ever actually lol.

tbh i 4got how flop played out. if im raising up flop like i did and turns a blank then getting it in now is fine.

btw i dont expect him to have a str8 at all really.

i take it we're putting him on a set here then? surely not 89 the way that flop played out....unless he's got a shit concept of pot odds
and i can't see a 2p personally
but it gives you that 'im fucked here' feeling tho doesn't it???

fold? is this some kind of amazing level? after you 3bet that flop no way in hell. if you dont 3bet flop then you have a decision, but i still dont fold since i have a huge hand.

villain has a wide range and is a newb. aces is 98% of the time nuts vs those players.

The check-min-raise is a very noob way of saying "I'm really strong." I'm ditching this hand on the flop. I think we have a 2 outer. And if we wanted to get it all in, Goat, why not overshove the min-raise on the flop?

min-c/r aint a storng play unless you have history with him and seen that b4.

overshove is way bad since i want Tx in.

Outcome requested, thx

I doubt I'm folding it at any point, by the way. If he has me beat, I take a note and watch my step around him in the future.

it was until people began realizing they can get people to fold with it.

poor players evolve too.

Quit being a baby about being stacked by a funny hand.

I felt this every time and am usually happy with the result.

Since you steal so many pots Fnord, you have to get it in in these spots. I don't know if Goat necessarily has your image.

Is image really that important here given:

1) It's 50NL
2) villain is a donk
3) There is little history between the two players.

Yes and no.

I probably get more action because I'm playing a wide range of hands against a guy like this. Often that works well, sometimes it goes bad. Either way, I get noticed.

That said, small stakes regs don't gamble with them enough. My favorite stripper appreciates this. That's like a 10x bigger leak that this spot could ever be. However, that's a tough one for your lizard brain to accept.
