*** SUMMARY ***
HERO SUCKS
PRE FLOP# I guess i should fold or rr here pre flop but hey it was a button raise and it was 10x the bb so i put him on middle pair/ Ax.
POST FLOP# His cbet looked weak to me so rr right errr no. Why? no idea
TURN# Yay me, hit my Queen now if his playing mid pair im winning, donk lead? checkraise? nope.
RIVER# Just happy to get to the showdown relatively cheaply
see i had a plan all along.
I have had a bad run of late and gone through my bankroll(bad br management) which i had built up over six months not a fortune admittedly but enough to affect my play/ state of mind
How bad is my play here? Should i dig out my old copy of HOH, am i being to hard on myself?

Re: Donkey calling station
 

I think PF is a fold, I mean has he been raising 10x a lot? Around 100 BBs deep, calling OOP with AQo here is just asking for trouble. Even if this guy is crazy and making big moves there are much better ways to take advantage of it than calling here. Rest of the hand seems ok.

Re: Donkey calling station
 

I don't like pf (I fold) and not so sure about flop either. I know you're getting odds due to his weak bet but what are you hoping for?

Probably hoping he checks turn and you can take it away? Not sure.

Re: Donkey calling station
 

Fold PF.

I'd fold AQ here to a 10x raise here even if I had position, which in this case we dont.

As played fold on the flop.

I reckon theres a good chance villian has AA here, but then again it's a $1 rebuy so you never know. Even if he is a total donk you can find far better situations to get your money in than this.

Thanks for the replies guys.
Looking at the hand now it seems an obvious fold.
I think alot of the trouble with my game at the moment is the middle game period when everyone is playing deepstack poker. I am working on getting more involved and building a winnable size stack. As i tend to play way to tight here and end up going deep but being one of the shortstacks.
I will take this one on the chin and try to learn from it.
Cheers
