100NL AQ TPGK facing donk bet
 

villain is 20/11.4/3.5 over 35 hands

he sat down recently and I'm opening/closing tables so I haven't noticed him at all

what is the standard line here? folding is bad, calling is weak, and raising bloats the pot

Re: 100NL AQ TPGK facing donk bet
 

I think he is limping/calling a lot of small pairs and suited connectors here, which makes me think he has a set, two pair, combo draw or draw a lot of the time, which makes me think your equity here isn't that great. It seems like a very odd line for him to take with a weaker ace. I gotta say, small sample against the guy and readless, I'm going to be my nitty self and say fold. Raising is feels spewy, but is probably my second preference and calling seems to get you nowhere? I highly doubt he pots this flop into a pre-flop raiser on the flop and then just gives up on the turn. You've invested only a pre-flop raise, you are going to be faced with more tough decisions against a player whom you have no read on.

I can't see anything except calling tbh.

He leads this flop with any two pair or combo draw most of the time (at least I would). A read would be nice.

any more thoughts?

Re: 100NL AQ TPGK facing donk bet
 

Raising is definitely spewy IMO, but I hate folding too. I probably call and re-eval turn.

Call and re-evaluate the turn is my default line here.

This is what I would probably end up doing but how often is he really slowing down on the turn?
