Not for 1/2 pot it isn't imo obviously its easy to say that when you see his cards in this particular hand but at the very least he has worse sets in his range, probably a lot more. In any case its never a spot where you can fold trip aces.

I remember a hand in live NL200, 3 way pot checked down to river KKQ2Q, old guy bets 1/2 pot, I call and show AJ, he triumphantly tables his 33.

Not as bad as the guy I saw who went busto in NLO200 thinking he had the flush with 3 hearts in his hand, 2 on the board and was against full house anyway.

pretty obvious when he donkshoves river. 99% the nuts.

not at all, I did not see JTo getting there tbh, I was seen a lot of 2 pairs especially KQ tbh, but K3 and K9 also totally possible.

Try to run some filters in your HM2, to see how often they donk shove the river with worse holding than you do. Obv I might wrong as it is NL50, and NL10 is fishier and plain stupid, however I think it will show anyway that most of the times it is the nuts. Imo K9 raises turn, but we can exclude it from his range due to his stack unless he is really wide from the blinds. KQ maybe, but I don't think he would donkshove it otr because of possible straight, so JT only makes sense here.

depends of the site as well... tbh I have seen them shove with A2C at times but more often thqan not they have a hand and generally a hand that could make sense... this one did not..

Some time they just have TP... when they overbet or c/r it's different most of the time they have ZE NUTZ
