This looked like an obvious big pair to me. I don't want to have a one sided outlook though. Anyone see it differently?

Maybe two overcards. AQd.

This is really NL $10? Must've been a huge donating fish at the table prior then. Anyhow, turn donk from UTG seems a little suspicious. To me that looks like a blocking bet and I might raise there to push him off a hand like Ad Kd. But then again that's just me. As played, your fold on the river was correct.

[Phenomenon]

Yeah 10 cent BB's but on AP you can buy in for $20 instead of the standard $10, so that's what I do.

why are you not raising his bet on the turn? It's an OBVIOUS "let me draw to my flush" bet. push him all in.

Agreed. Your hand is still beats a ton of other hands that the typical 10NL fish could be holding...

Pre-flop and turn are fine. On the turn, I would raise to $6 and fold to big re-raise. As played, river fold, without any doubt.

What do you think?

[/ QUOTE ]I think raising him all-in is a bit over the top. You will only get called if you are beat? He might be slowplaying QQ+?

From what I've seen at these limits, there's a solid chance that a turn'ed flush draw might call an AI--there are plenty of opponents who don't realize that their FD equity is bad heads-up on the turn (or just like to gamble.) That small bet definitely screams blocking bet so I can see the allure of trying to get him to AI there.

A raise to 6 is just terrible. If he has Ad Qd you give him the proper odds to call here. 3,6 to 1
Raise it up to 10.
