Nope. Shove for value/to protect your hand if you are ahead.

hero...gives up trying to understand the inner workings of the donk mind and just puts him all in...if he called pre he is capable of (incorrectly most times) folding here...pretty ABC...if you check and he bets a blank are you really gonna fold?

Sidenote with the weird stack sizes of the SB/BB I may raise a little higher pre (375ish) to try to get the big stack to go away a fraction more often...also makes this a bit easier post flop...

I'd rather bet him all-in than call him all-in, and I'm not folding... I probably also raise more preflop, 400 or something, just to make everyone else's decisions harder

I just put him all in...some donktards are graduates of the Phil Hullmuth school of retardedness...as in they'll call for almost half their chips to see a flop with a decent ace in this spot and will dump the hand with 410 left behind if they don't hit the flop

^^^ my opinion as well.

with effective stacks so shallow it really doesn't matter what you do as long as you don't fold. variance will always win in this spot.

Yep, folding is bad. Give him a chance to do it.

k, I put him all in, and he insta called and showed AA. I'm not being results orientated here, but what I thought might have happened is that he was going for a stop-n-go with KJ or K10 or Jx and when he hit checked to maximize value.
