That board is quite drawy and if I am going to raise AA here, it's to get it in on the flop. If you don't want to do that then I think calling their donk bet is better than raise/calling.

His bet size is big on the flop, I don't think raising really achieves much apart from forcing out bluffs and value cutting ourselves. The draws have good equity but he's likely to be value heavy on the whole.

As played I can't see how calling the turn shove can be good. The flush draw got there and there's just too many sets and two pair combos.

This is totally player dependent in my opinion. The worse your opponent is the more inclined I'd be to raise though I'm somewhat more likely to just call by default.

As played you don't give yourself enough space to fold on any card in my opinion especially with the redraw though Tc is probably the worse card in the deck.

Pre: Typically I would make it 3x IP so I would go a touch larger to .45c pre.

Flop: Folding here seems completely out of the question. The only hands we are worried about are KQ and 55 realistically and there are a ton of potential draws. I definitely don't mind raising here, calling seems fine also, but folding seems pretty bad to me.

Turn: Pretty awful card for us given the flush draw gets there. The fact that it's a T is even worse as it means his JT type hands now have showdown value so would be less likely to jam. We're getting a crazy good price here so I don't know if I would fold here in the middle of a game, when analysing it though it seems hard to assign him much of a range that we are ahead of though.

Usually he is repping pretty strong. After all, he has just called a 3bet vs his EP open and then proceeding to donk-bet flop for an above-average bet size. These type of lines should be treated with a ton of caution. We can't fold, but raising is probably an overplay without a specific read on villain. Probably wouldn't be a massive mistake to stack when the guy didn't have a full stack to start with though.
