$25 AA unimproved, villian shoves turn

[freedom18]

the minraise on the flop and donk all in on the turn look like such a bluff, why would a fish play 888 like that [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Min-raising monsters is one of the first things taught in Donk 101.

Getting close to 3-1 odds, call this all day long. Villain has to felt any overpair.

Raise to $1.75 preflop, $3-3.50 on flop,

I think I'd just push this flop after his raise. He probably puts you on missed high cards like AK/AQs and thinks he can bully you. Given his stats, I think an 8 is unlikely, and he could very well have TT-QQ maybe even KK. As played, I call the turn push, you've got to be at least 3-1 here.

Yep. And not just min-raising, but min-check-raising. That usually screams trouble at these levels, no?

I would definately put him all-in on the flop...

Minraise preflop can also mean KK or AA, I would put him on KK and raise him all-in on the flop. If he has A8s, so be it...

It means either villain thinks he has a big hand (75+% of the time) or he thinks he can price his draw in this way.

I used to joke that the best way to scare a 2+2er was to min-raise or min-check raise the turn.

In my limited experience, it's almost always a big hand. I don't see a lot of guys at this level who are thinking about pricing in draws.

Of course, what complicates this hand is that villians could very well think they have a monster and still be behind us.
