Default Re: 1/2 6max : AA -- confused on the turn

The problem is that if you don't shove, almost half the deck will give you problems on the river because:

1) Lots of draws can beat you.
2) Lots of draws can scare villain.

Two flushdraws, a straightdraw, gutshots, everything is possible. And if the donk hits on the river you will have a hard time folding since the pot is so large compared to your stacksizes.

I expect the donk to throw away his hand lots of times after the turn shove, but this is better than making a small bet and facing a tough river. Yes, he might call you with a set, but the other times will make up for that. And ofc. he's a donk so he might also call you with a worse hand.
