I would probably fold turn unless you have a read that he will raise marginal holdings.

Re: a10 top pair!!!!!
 

Its very hard to give opinions/advice on this hand w/o any reads on his postflop play.

You have stats on him that make it seem likely he is a donkey...but what kind of donkey? Is he mainly a station post flop? Is he aggro and bluff happy?

Re: a10 top pair!!!!!
 

Couple things... Flop bet is fine, but a bigger bet would probably better. On the turn bet closer to 3/4 pot and fold to a raise. If you bet 1/2 pot, you have to call down...

Re: a10 top pair!!!!!
 

your image and specific reads on villain play a huge role in how you should proceed from his turn raise onward.

against a typical villain i would fold turn, but if he is bluf happy and if i have been pretty active i would be inclined to call this down.

bet more on flop/turn; if you bet 15+ on turn and he raised i would be more inclined to fold. as played i think you need to call it down.

Re: a10 top pair!!!!!
 

Villain seems like a station donkey with those stats. I'm guessing he's got a weaker ten or possibly strong mid pair and sensed weakness on your turn bet.

Or maybe a plain old overpair. Either way i would of played it through to the river aswell.
