Default live 5-10 hand

turning stone 5-10 $1k max game...super soft lineup, two online kids who seem to knwo what they're doing, couple of foreign guys who suck (obv) and a few other droolers. table is 9 or 10 handed when the hand comes up-

1 or 2 limpers to a guy in MP who only raises to $35 when he raises...he raises to $35, huge donk who rebought for $160(lol) and has somehow built up to 1.7kish by making terrible plays, retarded bluffs, lots of "feeling" plays, etc. he calls, i make with $160 in CO with A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. folds back to the donk with 1.7k who hems and haws and then asks if i will show if he folds, i say no and then he gets into a little speech about how i have nothing and how he needs to push the action...anyway, he eventually calls to my delight.

flop (~$360) K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]10 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
he leads very quickly for $300 with about $1300 behind and i have him covered...plan of action?
call flop/get it in on any turn?
call flop/re-eval turn?
raise flop?
shove flop?

(sorry if this is stupid or terrible writing, i've been awake far too long at this point)

I think against villian you have to just jam here. Based on your description I don't see this guy leading a set/K10.

Lots of [censored] turn cards for your hand also.

Edit: How bad is this guy? Would he call off his stack w/KQ or a flush draw? (Im assuming yes)

Best choice. Give him change to get it all in. Live games need different approach than online poker against competent players. Be trappy against live donks.

shove flop

If he is close to calling station you can shove. But as you described he seems to bet many more hands than he calls.

i don't think a minraise is too bad here in a live game.

I think you can safely shove, because peeling one can give this draw heavy flop a free flush or straight. If the guy is dumb, wont he just donk off his stack here with like AT, KJ, or QJ?

I think i'd generally call and shove any turn, although pushingis fine as well.

ya i kinda like minraise get it on the turn. but then i realized that live donks have no conception of bet size in relation to the pot so it probably doesnt matter.

just call and get it on the turn.
