Called down all the way, with top pair, decent kicker. Donkey play?

Push or fold turn. Rest is fine.

[essence86]

ok.. so there is no way basically I´m getting away from this, because he is so short stacked?

The only way you are getting away is to fold the turn or preflop, but thats read depending. Without one I probably just push turn but its kinda close.

[essence86]

ok..yes. On the turn he does show some strength.

[Perk76]

I am not getting away from it against a short stack in this hand.

I am not pushing the turn either, since a worse hand might fold out. If your willing to felt it, let him bet into you on the river and call him down, or if he checks river, you can check also.

He showed strength on all streets. UTG raise, Pot flop, Pot turn.

This hand is dependent on reads.

Look at stack sizes, if he folds for example a middle pair, OP gains.

Problem with just calling is that he might save his last bucks if he was on a draw and Hero cannot fold to a river push whatever happens if he calls the turn.

I think this is rarely a draw.

Weak aces and draws almot always check or bet lighter. The full pot bet on the turn is almost always representing a hand better than yours. I think i find a fold on the turn here pretty easy against an unknown.
