I raise the flop. I will take the pot down most of the time, and will have plenty of outs if called.

I don't hate your line at all. I just play it more aggressively because of the overall style I implement at the table.

[Margin Of Error]

I almost always raise the flop with the NFD.

Your line is standard vs someone who vill value bet AJ the whole way here though, no reason to try and push them off their hand if they are going to bet for you.

*grunch* You GOTTA raise that turn. Look at how much money you left in your stack when he folded to your all-in raise on the river (probably). Raise the turn up to like 45. If you get reraised big or pushed, you fold. But I dont see this happening as often, and you will pick up the pot sometimes when he folds. More importantly, he wont put you on the flush when you hit it on the river, and you'll have a MUCH greater chance of doubling up.

am i mistaken in thinking that villain most likely has us on a fd?

right, so why would we push here?

[johnnyrocket]

easy flop raise since the board is so light, flop raise, maybe try taking a free card on the turn if u want

raising&gt;calling&gt;folding but raising should happen x% of the time and u should call sometimes to vary ur play

[Mossberg]

"varying your play" here isn't important against random donks. You can fold out alot of better hands with a flop raise, and if he just calls, you'll get a free card on the turn.
