Hi,

Poker Stars, $0.01/$0.02 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 5 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

SB: $2.01 (100.5 bb)
BB: $3.34 (167 bb) (VPIP:46.00;PFR:21.00;Hands:49)
Hero (MP): $2.51 (125.5 bb)
CO: $0.84 (42 bb)
BTN: $2 (100 bb)

Preflop: Hero is MP with K A
Hero raises to $0.06, CO folds, BTN calls $0.06, SB folds, BB raises to $0.10, Hero raises to $0.37, BTN folds, BB calls $0.27

Flop: ($0.81) 5 5 2 (2 players)
BB bets $0.38, Hero raises to $2.14, BB folds

PreFlop - I OR AK in MP, the BU calls, the BB Min Squeezes and I 4Bet. The BB had shown to be very aggressive, in particular posflop

Flop - The BB Donks 1/2 Pot. He had donked me twice before, and in one of that occasions he had show A High after donking on a low dry paired board (such as this one). I think his range are mostly overcards so, I decide to push to force him to fold them, instead of calling and potencially face a large bet on the turn.

Do you think I am overplaying my hand?; How would you have played it taking into consideration the read we had on him?

Thanks

We have a hand that dominates his Ax hands. I do not see a reason to make them fold.

Yes you overplayed your hand.

Raising with bluff catchers is the most common mistake I see in these forums.

Replace "overcards" with "overpairs" in this sentence and imagine you have AA. Do you see how little sense this makes?

I see it so, how would you have played the hand on, for example, an 8 turn facing a large bet?

Villain min 3bets pre, he wants us to call. He donks otf. I think I would call flop since we have overcards and BDFD but if turn comes blank I would fold.

I can sense that you are worried about losing the hand with the best hand. This will happen from time to time, and the only way to prevent it is to always go to showdown or constantly raise big. As you can imagine, this is a pretty expensive habit. Better is to accept that you can't win'em all, not even versus fish.

You can always fold turn when facing a large bet. You have at most 6 outs and wouldn't have odds to call.
