AA interesting spot (3/6 NL)

If CO is paying attention like you were saying, what is he putting you on? Have you been reraising the donk with all kinds of hands or is he likely to view your play here as a big pair? Unless you have been 3 betting the donk a lot preflop to isolate and then c-bet the flop frequently (which I don't think is necessarily a great way to play the donk), I'm folding this pretty quickly.

Good question.

I have _NOT_ been 3 betting to isolate in the pots i'm playing.

I have cold called 66%, 33% 3bet when I'm playing a pot that the donk opens. For example, I'm cold calling hands like 8Ts, TJs, small pairs, etc. The other reason for calling is that 2 seats behind me is another donk who is also 200bb+ deep. I also have no FE with my 3bets vs. uber donk, so if I'm 3betting every pot I would enter against this guy, I'm building big pots everytime. Also, 3 betting wasn't good enough to isolate very well here because the regulars knew what huge implieds the donkey was giving.

So the short answer: My 3 bets were primarily hands that had solid value, not speculative hands that I'm playing for implied. Obviously my NORMAL strategy is to 3 bet both types of hands vs. a fish that will fold if he misses or a regular. I feel like the villan in this hand was taking a similar strategy. For example, when I would overcall donkey, villan in this hand was NEVER squeezing with FE pre-flop, he was just calling as well.
