could be but in a live game no one is ever folding after putting that many bets in.

What would raising the river accomplish? I don't think a good thinking player is donking into 2 opponents, who have shown no indication they're folding, with the intention of folding to a raise.

I think you should raise the flop.

Raise the flop not the turn you have the best hand here a significant amount of the time and you can eliminate buttone who likely has 2 overcards to the board. It makes this whole hand play out much easier.

If he calls the flop raise, I'd check the turn and call a river bet or bet/fold the turn and check behind the river.

As played you can fold river. You've represented AK and villain doesn't care. Toss it and move on

i did fold and thought about it afterwards

is this a b/f line by him?

the b/c and donk had me wondering

After river donk buttons hand looks more like AT-AK, TT than JJ-KK. But live poker is weird because sometimes people fold top pair on the river. But just fold it won't work often enough.
