I almost folded

[wall_st]

Background info:

Villan is reasonably donkish for this level. Has made quite a few blunders to build his stack. Generally calls on draws.

Against a good opponent I would fold here just about everytime . Everything about the way this hand was handled by a tricky villan would scream, AA, KK or flopped set. In this case I figured it was pretty likely I was ahead.
