Check-raise turn? I just couldn't pull the trigger this deep not knowing if he could fold AA/AK.

We're oop, so I think u have to c/r turn or fold. I don't like calling coz he will check back river with all his hands if flush comes in and our A hi will lose almost always on the river. Although donkbetting turn could be an interesting alternative with these stack sizes. He won't raise any 1 pair hand, but he's raising all his nutted hands most likely. When he just calls, we can jam the river and put him in very tough spot if we miss and decide to bluff. I like this line much better than c/c. We have to make our decision before he bets, this is a super standard 2barrel turn and he will bet it almost always unless he's a bad player.

I did hate the spot I had put myself in. I would almost always checkraise the turn here. I think I didn't feel comfortable semibluffing $200. I should probably have left the table once I had doubled up. Still trying to get used to nl100 and the money. Back to nl50 until next weekend.

If taking the donkbet turn line, what would you do on the A river?

Oh I don't know if a turn semi bluff would have worked on second thought...

Looked through my HEM and found another hand with the same villain, he seems to stack off rather light.

This happened not too long before the AQs hand so I might have had it in the back of my head and decided not to bluff.

I'd c/f most likely. As I said, he usually will call there with his 1pair hands. When A comes, all his draws has at least pair, so he has some sd value and he's checking back many hands. I think he even could check back many weak 2pairs there, if he called turn with them. Don't expect ppl @ nl100 turn some made hands into a bluff in that spot.

Fold preflop!
He only 3bets 6% overall, vs UTG it's likely to be much tighter so you're in bad shape with AQs.

As played our hand looks like AA/KK/AK/KQ after we c/c the flop, maybe a rare QQ.
So he won't try to bluff us off of that, therefore he's betting the turn for value with at least AK and we probably don't have foldequity, so it's a c/c for odds and outs.
The plan is to c/f all non-heart and non-T rivers (even an A).
