Reads: Very little. Haven't played enough NL200 to know this guy and been having problems with PT lately so it wasn't running at the time.

Main question: Am I a donkey for calling this turn re raise?

Though I was obviously thrilled to see a K drop on the river, I really questioned afterwards whether I can make that turn call. Thanks.

i guess you could have hit a A,K,Q,T
a J is no good probably.
those other cards are pretty good cept you may run into quads. you went into the river knowing you were behind.. 1:1 on the call on the turn..

turn call is not too bad as you both still have quite a bit left but you should really consider checking behind on this turn.

how is it 1:1 on the turn?

I think the call is fine. You could be ahead of a worse ace with draws to a full. I think it's unlikely for a straight to be out because of the flop bet. I would have narrowed his hand range to a worse ace or a full with the raise on the turn, leaning towards the worse ace.

When he value bets the river, and pays off your raise he must have aces full of tens/queens. Nice hand. I would have played it the same...

How could he run into quads? Hero had an ace himself...

I think he meant if a Q or T dropped on the river, good cards for me, but perhaps quads for villain

I didn't consider this and maybe should have. Thanks for the input.

I'd check behind on this turn. Obvious WA/WB scenario and I doubt he is calling both turn AND river if he is way behind.

Thanks for all the input. Villain mucked QQ in this hand.
