    Default Stars $16 18 man AJo facing donkbet on flush flop

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, 16 Tournament, 25/50 Blinds (8 handed)

    Button (t2862)
    SB (t1490)
    BB (t1425)
    UTG (t1639)
    Hero (UTG+1) (t1844)
    MP1 (t1425)
    MP2 (t1390)
    CO (t1425)

    Hero's M: 24.59

    Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with Ac, Jd
    1 fold, Hero bets t174, 4 folds, SB calls t149, 1 fold

    Flop: (t398) Kd, 9d, 3d (2 players)
    SB bets t250, Hero raises to t1670 (All-In)

    Total pot: t898

    Villain is 27/14 agg factor 4.0 over about 100 hands and assumed to be bad. I know the open is a bit loose and I'm probably folding this pre 90% of the time.

    Good time for a semibluff? Donk lead doesn't seem particularly strong to me on this type of flop.

    I'd make it an even 150 preflop, I don't see a need to raise more than 3x BB in this spot. Folding is fine also and probably my default move (but you said that already).

    On the flop, I just fold and move on. I don't agree that a donk lead isn't always strong (OK, maybe he doesn't have the flush but Kx definitely leads this flop) and if called, your flush draw and overcard may not be clean outs.

    AJ for me in the 16/18s is really table dependent. If there are a lot of weak players I don't mind the open, if a lot of strong players are present I would prob just go ahead and fold. I agree with Taipan in saying to make it just 150 pre as you def don't want to bloat the pot oop anymore with Aj.

    If you have a read you have a read. You did this because you felt you would get him to fold and you did. non standard stuff like this is always going to get a nod of disapproval because it just isn't the norm. I def usually fold here because of the reverse implied odds situation that taipan mentioned. Your stack is ok at this point and I just don't feel the need to pull anything. Nh but don't get to spewy.
