PokerStars, Hold'em No Limit - $0.01/$0.02 - 5 players
Hand delivered by Upswing Poker

UTG: $6.33 (316 bb)
CO: $2.44 (122 bb)
BU (Hero): $1.93 (97 bb)
SB: $2.71 (135 bb)
BB: $2.53 (126 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.03) Hero is BTN with A A
UTG calls $0.02 CO calls $0.02 Hero raises to $0.12, 1 fold, BB calls $0.10, UTG calls $0.10, CO calls $0.10

Flop: ($0.49) J 8 Q (4 players)
BB checks, UTG checks, CO checks, Hero bets $0.32, BB raises to $0.64, 2 players fold, Hero calls $0.32

Turn: ($1.77) 3 (2 players)
BB bets $0.84, BU (Hero) folds

Check min-raise flop, donk bet turn shows a lot of power. But it could be a few worse hands or bluff. Not sure if I would go all the way here?

He's check/min raising multi way and that looks extreme strong I think.
I expect he has often at least 2 pair here and I would fold the turn as well.
Otherwise you need to shove with less than $1 behind.

I would bet the flop smaller, I think it was the mistake here.
Turn SPR is close to 1 as played. It is a weird spot because he wont have bluffs, meaning 0 fold equity for you. I would call and hope river is a blank, although it wont matter because you would be commited.
I think there will be some overplayed Jx from some aggros.
Folding wont be that bad also.

Against most likely at least 2 fishy players a big Cbet seems reasonable for value and protection. it's a little bit nasty 1 of them has a big hand most likely.

pretty nasty action....I guess folding is really what you gotta do here, although it sucks..

He took initiative with his raise OTF, so his bet OTT isn't a donk bet.

With multible villains i think the flop bet has to be high (as played).
For the reasons stated above, it seems like a good fold OTT

I approximately from 10 hands played with AA will win no more than 3 times. For me AA almost every time is a huge disappointment. But why is it so hard to fold them especially after the flop :O

Bet smaller OTF or even check. You don't have a great hand, just a pair vs 4 with little redraws on a board that hits everyones range. You can bet on a blank turn or call a turn bet, or fold vs heavy action. As played I'll insta fold vs minraise without even thinking.
