I'd fold preflop here readless, I dont want to be playing AQ OOP in a 4bet pot.
His donk min raises colud mean anything, and I think you can get yourself in trouble finding out.

As played I'd check the turn.
You're getting good odds to call his min raise, but you dont know if either your pair or draw is good.
The fact he checked the flop makes me think he could have AA or KK with a heart.
It's a tough spot, but thats what happens calling OOP with marginal hands.

I think you have two outs tops, and may be drawing dead.

I fold this.

He played this one pretty strangely. I don't think you can fold here with TPTK and a FD. I think betting the turn is pretty much an easy move. You don't really want a free card here and I think you should be committed.

Well, preflop is fine if you think he is stealing, I guess. It is a pretty sticky spot as this hand sucks OOP versus a raise unless you know that he is stealing.

If you want to 3-bet I think you should 3-bet more than what you did. You want to make it so that it is easy to get it in postflop when you hit TPTK. Once he 4-bets you I think you should fold as his range is pretty narrow and you have terrible equity against it.

Well his line is pretty messed up. I was thinking aces, but then why wouldn't he bet the flop. Was he scared somehow? If so, why all of a sudden raise on the turn?

Maybe he had A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] This makes more sense for his postflop line though preflop is sort of weird, I still think this makes the most sense out of anything.

Of course he could have A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K ? This would again be weird all around.

Kind of sucks. We could very well be drawing dead right now, but he only has 11 dollars left and the pot is rather large.

I think i'd save my 17 dollars here. Since we are putting so much money in and folding we probably made a mistake somewhere, probably preflop, also probably the bet on the turn might be iffy too despite the Q being a good card for us.

If I had A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] i'd defintely push...
