25NL. Villain is 50/15/4 and very aggro on the flop. I decide to smoothcall on the flop because theres few cards that can come that really ruin my hand, and because getting 3bet would suck.

Turn is one of the cards I really didnt want, of course, but he bets very weakly and looks scared of it. But he calls.

River he donks out and I call just because... somethings not right, and I see a lot of bluffs here. He just cant have the hand he's repping and he only bets ~5 into 25

Its also about 2 am, which may have something to do with it.

Absolute Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.10/$0.25
6 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $18.73
UTG+1: $24.30
Hero: $52.70
Button: $22.90
SB: $22.37
BB: $41.62

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is CO with A J
UTG folds, UTG+1 raises to $0.5, Hero raises to $2, 3 folds, UTG+1 calls.

Flop: J 6 2 ($4.35, 2 players)
UTG+1 bets $2.5, Hero calls.

Turn: K ($9.35, 2 players)
UTG+1 bets $2, Hero raises to $7, UTG+1 calls.

River: T ($23.35, 2 players)
UTG+1 bets $4.75, Hero calls.

Results:
Final pot: $32.85

i would raise flop close to 100% of the time. What would u do in this situation with JJ-AA, AK or AQ? Raise flop with this whole range and it will be very hard to play against u

 You're hand's more one that needs protection than to be milked for value.

no because the point is we want to give opponents the chance to make mistakes.

vs 50/10, this is a great flop. i like raising it too.
you could use pokerstove to see equity if villain 3bets, if you have a read on his range for that (ie beyond his AF, how he's played hands before)
i think turn/riv are "meh" as played.

How often he open minraises from EP?
Is he loose caller of 3bets?
Does he stack off, if pairs one of his broadways?
What hands can you put him on after he donk-blocks flop?

If the answers describe typical donkish $25player then you must raise it.
Raising this flop protects your hand, puts him in tough spot and gives him opportunity to make loose call or AI spew.
