Party 3/6 NL 10-max AQ

Read on villain is that he's the usual donk shortstack. Not much else to say, he's fairly liberal. After his flop call, my read on him is either and A with crappy kicker, or a monster. I checked behind on the turn with intention of folding to a big bet on the river by him. When he checks on the river it tells me he has the A with crappy kicker and I bet.. good line?

If the flop didn't have a ten in it, I'd like this play a lot more. I like the idea though of using your positional advantage to try to win more if you are ahead, and lose less if you are behind. With the way it's played though, and the texture of the board, I'm more inclined to bet the turn about $60 and check behind on most rivers.

A call on the turn and a lead on the river will put you into a very tough spot though. Hard to say. I'm a bit torn on this hand. Let me think about it for a little bit and I'll come back.

If I bet the turn I'm commited to a push... keep that in mind...

Bet the turn check the river, not the other way around.

Why are you committed to a push if you bet the turn?? Betting the turn is better because a draw calls, while certainly folds the river if whiffed.

Looks good to me, although I'd bet only40-60 at the river. Would Ax really call a potsize bet? I'm pretty sure you're ahead, 2p+ would almost certainly bet the river.
