I think on that limit jj often is too strong to through it away. Even though on the other hand often mediocre Aces are limped there still a lot of other crap and of course pockets are - so you will be ahead often enough.

His half pot donk does not seem strong and id reraise as well.

Hi all,

While we can widen his range to include a ton of hands that don't have an ace, we should still take a line that maximises value against these other hands.

As played when we raise the flop we fold out all those other hands that we could be ahead of (worse pocketpairs, 7x combinations, KQ high, etc), and isolate his range to hands that beat us (Ax, KK, maybe we fold out QQ). So the raise on the flop makes no sense.

Better line is call flop, call turn, reevaluate river. These worse hands have at most 6 outs against us, so it's really a case of WA/WB.

As played on the turn I check back.
