Re: 25nl AA facing donkbet on the turn
The donkbet-call, donkbet-call flop and turn line seems to be getting more popular these days, and I think it's hard to know what the hell Villain is doing when readless. One big possibility is that he just picked up a flush draw to go with his pair, but there is also some chance that he got there and is hoping to repeat the turn action. There's also some chance he planned to checkraise the turn and then that turn card scared him off of that plan.
At the table, I probably would freeze up here, to be honest, and just call. But I think I like raising better, since, really, I suspect you'll frequently have 2/3-3/4 equity here.
I also think a raise commits so much of your stack that a raise-fold seems really distasteful, so there's an argument for calling. Plus, I'm not at all sure that Villain didn't flop two pair.
Ugh. I don't know, and I'm wondering what others will say.
