Default Is this Go and Go at all appropriate?

Villain has been getting aggro. He's a donk - he called in the big blind with 22 against a very aggro player, on a 10 9 4 flop he check/insta called. He has also raised with K7s UTG+1 and tried a river bluff. I haven't played that tight, tho. Anyway, having said that, this is a total [censored] miserable [censored] spew, right?

i would rather push preflop if you believe your ahead of his range, go and go just gives a donk a chance to call you with bottom or middle pair.

well, he might not know what a go and go or stop n go or call n go is; but I'll bet he's a calling station. and Ax is a big part of his range if he's stayed on king no kicker in EP. he might not know that he's supposed to call b/c you're betting anything, but he's probably going to call anyway because he's not a thinking player and his thought process is going to be "he doesn't have a queen. I have an ace. I might hit my hand on a later street." so it's a spew b/c he's calling and you don't have anything.

I think this might be close. Given the description I don't think you have much FE, but if he's raising wide enough A5o might be good vs his range. A very rough estimate with pokerstove looks like he'd need to be raising 45%+ to be ahead of his range.

That said I think this may be too close for me and I'd lean towards a fold pf.

You should almost certainly fold preflop

You are too short and he is too deep for a go and go.

I definitely don't like a shove preflop, and there is no reason to bluff a calling station at this point

Just fold this one
