Re: Am I a Donkey?
I play this the same. Your flop bet is good. You have a vulnerable hand and there's no reason to tie people to the pot with a checkraise. UTG may also raise overs or a draw and drive out sb. Your...

Re: Rate this river fold - blind battle 10/20
I play this the same if you don't think he'd cap the turn w/ 87 no club (although he can't have 8c7c and you chop with tc8c). If the river was a non-club I'm not sure the decision is any different....

Re: Turn
Donking the turn is fine. I think people underestimate how often even very aggressive players check behind the A here. A better reason than that though is that he'll be much more likely to fold his...

Re: is this a bet/fold river situation?
Why would you bet/fold the river? I think the best you can hope for is a chop with AQ although there is a small chance he has AJ, either of which he'll bet anyway, and you don't want to risk folding...

I think you've got to pay off. When someone beats you with quads you just say "nh". People will call/bet these types of hands with almost any pair, not just the 4th ace.

As long as you're very confident in your read, I see nothing wrong with your line. You save a bet when behind and gain a bet when ahead, because he would likely check behind either the turn or the...
