Why didn't you bet the river?

If he likes to donk you really can't fold a hand like this. Remember that if you fold a hand that has been 3bet like this preflop as little as 17% of time the donkbet is automatic for him. In practice the break point is going to be even lower since sometimes he'll actually have the goods.

So I say save the folds for when your hand is truely hopeless, here at least you have Ace high...

Given this i would usually raise but calling can sometimes be an option depending on how tricky he is.

My play would be call preflop, and raise the flop.

1 over card only and most likely it didnt him him. Id say 1 in 5.

If he has a 5 or 6 then you probably have 2 overs. 76, K7, A7 would suck

If he has a draw like 89 and he is weak he would call. Once again you are ahead.

If he has 76, he might reraise you here.

But overall I would bet the river. Only the Q you probably fear here and in most cases he doesnt have it.

Also try to notice how he reacts on the turn. I would place him on A6, K7, Ax (no pair), 98. Since he is a weak player if he made 2 pair or a straight he would raise the turn. If he was tricky then he would bet the river.

this hand sucks. you put in a large number of bets when you might or might not of had the best hand and then you get there on the river and forget to bet.

I kind of like the flop raise every once in a while when I have a read like that. I also spew chips, so take that for what it's worth.

How about taking the free card on the turn? Then bet the river when checked to or even raise a bet from villain when the 8 falls?
