Re: Is it possible to Donk the Flop? (yet another AQ hand)

Yeah, I think it's fine. Villain probably has KQ or something and is testing out his king. Or maybe he's got TT and is trying to represent the king. Either way, you're behind.

Could we not peel a card here? Getting 1:8.5, aces are probably clean, queens questionable, some backdoors (flush, hollywood and wheel). Possibly get a free card if UTG suspects we are slowplaying him. We can easily fold the turn u/i if he bets again.

I think we have to greatly consider the possibility of AK here as many won't cap AK in this spot but will bet out with it here. It's very unlikely we have 6 pair outs here; I think we have like 4.5 outs or something in general (so a call is almost okay), but the problem that we'll hit an lose with some frequency and can never be too confident about any holding (save the flush) means I don't like peeling here.
If I do call here it'd probably be in a live game and for metagame considerations.
