i dont think you are beating many hands. He made a weak bet on the flop which usally means a weak hand or a monster. Since he min reraised it looks like hes got a big hand and even though hes short i dont like this line. The only way you are ahead is if he is a very weak player that thinks top pair with a decent kicker (AJ/AT) is a lock hand or he cant fold his KK or QQ which doesnt seem likely.

With AK, I like. Maybe reraise preflop. With AQ, meh. Some read would help. He's showing alot of strength by raising UTG and 3beting the flop

With ak I don't question this play. He did law it down so either he folded a big pp or was trying to manipulate me with the minr. I often give players far too much credit and assume their minr is some sort of a metagame bluff.

Villian has raised utg before and folded to flop bets, and I had raised and c-bet the last few pots with legitimate holdings, this gave me enough reason that the donk was taking a stand thinking that I am super aggressive and only wanted to risk the minimium amount in case he gets looked up.

I like it. Villian is too short to fold a hand this strong IMHO.

Also, you should probably have put that background info into your OP.

Looks good to me, weak ace so often.
