Preflop is good.

Betting the flop is good here becuase your TT will benefit from some folding equity. Very few Ax hands fold, but maybe JJ and definitely KQ fold. I'm much less likely to bet KK or A5o in that spot, but betting TT is correct for sure.

You can check the turn or bet it. I tend toward checking with shallow stacks and a crude read.

After the turn check, you have to call a lot more river cards. I don't remember much about this particular buy-in, but it seems like a typical donkey would want to under-bet the Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] for "value" and likely check the J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. I really want to put the 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] in his hand based on the flop action. Your one-card third nuts is looking pretty good. The more I think about it, the more I want to call.

The only Js hands we can put him on are like JTo, JQs, or Ax Js... I find it hard to believe an Ax Qs or Ax Js which i doubt check/call flop and check turn.

I would say this is QJs, a weak ace bluffing (with or without a spade), or Jx Ts ... I think he bets enough with non Qs or Js hands that you can call here, but in HU pots I am sitting still or an object found in the office (stationary)

I fold. Donkeys tend to bluff smaller in my experience. I also don't like my stack if I call and lose.

I like every streets.

It's fine.
I prolly bet the flop bigger for consistency with my made-hand-bets, like 275, but doesn't make that big of a difference.

I like more on the flop, but it's nearly perfect.
