Preflop: Hero is CO with A A
MP raises, Hero 3-bets, BTN folds, SB calls, BB folds, MP caps, Hero calls, SB calls

Flop: (13 SB) T 8 K (3 players)
SB bets, MP calls, Hero raises, SB 3-bets, MP folds, Hero caps, SB calls

Turn: (11 BB) 5 (2 players)
SB bets, Hero raises, SB 3-bets, Hero calls

River: (17 BB) 6 (2 players)
SB bets, Hero calls

Results: 19 BB pot (0.5 BB rake)
Final Board: T 8 K 5 6
Hero showed A A

SB: 80/20/100 over simple 5 hands. basically unknown but ill assume hes not a nit. thats about it.

I'm recently working on my game in terms of having to stop overplaying my hands. So basically did i slow down at the right moment. To me it doesn't seem that difficult a hand to analyze but I still wanted to hear what you guys had to say. after the turn 3bet I was basically pretty sure of 2 combos. he most definitely would have if we assume hes a terrible bad player(fish)

AK
two pair like KT
88, TT.

Only hands that immediately at this moment makes any sense

Hey! I like to just call down vs his turn donk. You capped the flop, and then he still decides to bet into you. That shows some strength, and vs unknown I'm not raising there. If he's a maniac it's another story of course, but still, his donk seems rather strong to me there.

I have seen quite a few similar hands you have posted. I've often thought you slow down two moments too late, not one. This time, I'd say it's still at least one moment too late (maybe even two). The SB has, for a start, seen you and MP cap preflop, so he's not trying to blow you off the hand with a draw, this is most likely value. Then there are high cards on the board you have missed.

The list you give about plausible holdings is about it, but remove most AK (because you have two aces, and there's a K on the board -> only 6 of those + he perhaps would have raised himself with these preflop -> perhaps 3 combos). You have to count a couple of KK as well as plausible, and a draw or two. I'd not raise turn.

True! It could be still a king but since you'd 3bet Mp's openraise and you capped the flop he's least facing KQ in your hand but rather AK+. Your range is KQ AK AA KK 88 TT AJ AQ :spade: but the flushdraws are just 2 combos. with just his 1pair hands he had to slow down and proceed with check/call on Turn and River so thus i interpret his donk as 1pair+ => Calldown!

you could have decided to just call his 3bet on the flop in order to raise the turn again but after your cap you are better off by calling down as you can't actually fold to further action as happened.
