Default 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?
