So preflop is standard open from CO. It is arguable whether I should raise bigger preflop or not but I like to raise small vs fishes with hands that flops very well. However, as played, I get 2 calls, I miss the flop and ready to give up. Both opponents checks, I don't see any reason to cbet there as I am vs 2 and 1 of them is donk. Check back and hit the Q on turn, both of them again checks and I make a value bet and get called by donk from SB while BB folds. And river in my opinion is a miss for both of us and I guess I have the strongest hand there. But the donk makes 1.3 pot bet which seems one of two - slowplayed set, two pair, straight or it could be a bluff with missed draws. As he is donk and I had seen him making bluffs with air I decided to call. But what is your opinion?

You play it well until the river, when someone overbets the pot normally has something, a strong hand, against someone who is a fish and i don't have any reads i fold even with TP.

Cumps ;)

I´m folding the river overbet with only 1 pair. You still have a great stack behind, there is no reason to lose half of it in this spot with only one pair, just w8 for a better spot.

The hand was well played, when we play against those guys who pays with weak par are great, sometimes they made a dual but in the long run is a +Ev. and we need to feed them at all

as you mention, pre I think you are inviting people to call with almost min raise.
Slightly higher helps get less callers and also our folding equity post flop. We need to charge the 60/30 guys for all the times they get in with crap and do not hit.

regarding river I would consider calling more, if we were talking about 2/3 of the pot vs 3/2 of the pot.
versus this player it seems mostly like a random two pair than a set.

also it's important to know his Aggression Factor. If he is a passive player the river bet is too powerful to risk 45% of our stack.

I also think that , you play well until the river, when someone overbets the pot normally has something good.You still have a great stack behind. No point to lose half of it in this spot with only one pair.
