ah, was reading it too fast^^

I think it's fine if you're betting any river but the 10 (and sometimes not the 4)

this sux. his line is v fishy. I call turn and river.

Re: AK on dry board vs donk
 

i dont know your stack size but i do like a turn raise here - it should get villain to fold weak pairs/Tx

Re: AK on dry board vs donk
 

guys that donkbet never fold Tx and usually peel with an underpair

Re: AK on dry board vs donk
 

I fold the flop, donks never ever fold any pair, especially top pair.

I'm not sure how people can justify trying to win $151, while risking that much more with Ahigh. His aggro factor is worrying as well.

Re: AK on dry board vs donk
 

If you slow played TT on the flop, why would he believe you'd raise the turn once you filled up and risk scaring him off? Wouldn't he expect a monster to call again?

And if you had JJ-AA, wouldn't he expect you to raise his donk bet?

I'm not sure your story adds up well.

All in all, he has to fold 52% of the time for you to break even. If he takes this line with any 1-pair hand as well as some non-pair overcards to test you're "overcards," then you probably get him to fold all 1-pairs lower than JJ often enough to at least break even.

But what if he calls the raise, and then checks or block bets the river? Do you continue to rep a full house and push?
