Default AKs - nonstandard line vs a donk

<font color="blue">villain is terrible - 44/7/.6, stationy, possibly blind. ive seen him call a PFR with Q3s then call of his stack with no pair, no draw. he has since reloaded a couple times. plays any suited cards, any card with at least one paint, etc </font>

Poker Stars - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $1/$2 Blinds - 6 Players - (LegoPoker Hand History Converter)

Hero (SB): $309.60
BB: $88.00
UTG: $155.15
MP: $198.00
CO: $338.90
BTN: $199.70

Preflop: Hero is dealt A K (6 Players)
<font color="red">UTG raises to $4.00</font>, 3 folds, Hero calls $3.00, BB calls $2.00
<font color="blue"> i almost always 3bet here but vs this guy i thought calling was better because i had zero fold equity if i missed on the flop, and if i just called i would likely still get paid off if i hit (and if i had any more players left to act behind me than BB I would have 3bet here as well) </font>

Flop: ($12) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7 K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 Players)
Hero checks, BB checks, <font color="red">UTG bets $6.00</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to $25.00</font>, BB folds, UTG calls $19.00
<font color="blue"> i was trying to build a bigger pot and thouhgt this was the best way. thouhgts? </font>

Turn: ($62) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">Hero bets $42.00</font>, UTG calls $42.00

River: ($146) 7 (2 Players)
<font color="red">Hero bets all-in for $238.60</font>

nh. i think your line is better than bet, bet, bet because he'll fold the river with nothing.

Preflop is probably meh, but given you description .. why not? Postflop you obviously have the nuts and played them appropriately. If he's willing to stack off with underpairs or even A-high you might also just donk the flop and bet pot on every street, I don't know if you can count on him cbetting.

I like it. I expect to see KQ/KJ/KT or whatever all the time, but the river is grim for sure.

3-bet preflop, you have a huge equity edge

I agree, you raised on the flop when you thought you were ahead to build the pot. So why not do it pre flop when you were ahead. This would have made it even easier to get all in. Apart from that I like.

ya i realized that (as i mention in the OP), but a lot of the value from 3betting comes when villain folds the flop unimproved. this guy wasnt going to fold anyting at all regardless of the flop and i was OOP, so i didnt think building a huge pot without a made hand was the best line.

i thought it would be more profitable to invest 2 bb's PF and probaly still win a big pot if i hit, than to raise and invest 12-14 BB's PF and win a big pot only when i hit
