Default I think I might have been scared passive

My big pairs keep running into bigger ones or drawn out on. My AK keeps running into AA and KK. I think it has scared me passive, but I cant think of a hand aside from AA or KK that the villain could reasonably play in this manner. No reads on either player they both just sat down.

Heh I just had my AA beat by KQ.

Thought I might have missed some bets here. Guess not.

There are no hands that a reasonable player who caps preflop and the flop could have that you beat. But since the pot is huge and there is a good chance for a split you call down.

On another note, he may not be a reasonable player. He may be a maniac/idiot who caps with hands like KQ and KJ preflop. Then you can throw in another raise at your discretion.

Looks good... raising turn or river isnt an option, as it will likely drive out the donk playing a worse king

The donk had 92. The villain had QQ. If the donk was willing to call the capped betting on the flop and preflop I dont think he is going anywhere on a turn raise.

The donk was getting pretty good odds to draw to his two pair after betting out.

But raising is still bad here unless you have a special read.
