    Default [10NL] AKo...Trapped?

    Villain is 24/16/0 over 60 hands.

    PokerStars - $0.10 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
    Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

    Hero (BTN): $10.74
    SB: $6.02
    BB: $16.86
    UTG: $4.28
    MP: $5.30
    CO: $17.90

    SB posts SB $0.05, BB posts BB $0.10

    Pre Flop: (pot: $0.15) Hero has K A

    fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to $0.30, SB calls $0.25, fold

    Flop: ($0.70, 2 players) 8 K 6
    SB checks, Hero bets $0.50, SB calls $0.50

    Turn: ($1.70, 2 players) J
    SB bets $0.30, Hero raises to $1.80, SB raises to $5.22 and is all-in, Hero ???

    Feel like I have walked straight into a trap here. Small donk/3bet on turn, looks like villain bet small to induce a raise..time to fold???
    Currently grinding live cash games. Life is good.

    Top pair is no good, time to dump it. Best case we split with AK but this line is severely nutted, on a dry board at that, and it's rarely a bluff.

    I think raising turn is good, now fold to the shove. We also block the NFD, and besides his line makes little sense with a FD...

    I think your read is spot on (i.e. small bet to induce) and a fold seems fine.

    Before you raise the turn donk however, you need to think about why you are doing it and also think ahead to what you are going to do versus a jam in advance, or what you are going to do on the river if villain flats your raise. If you plan on r/f turn then a raise to $1.30-$1.40 serves the same purpose, but I think there's a decent argument for flatting the turn versus this sizing on this particular card and re-evaluating the river. It's kind of nitty against a likely fish, but I don't see much worse calling a raise that takes this line.

    Pretty gross spot. I can't really given someone credit here for being able to pull some sicko line like c/c QTcc or Jxcc and small donk/shove turn so I guess this should be a raise/fold as sick as it is.

    Im never flatting this donk with this strong a hand id raise a little smaller tho. And fold to the jam.
    Dont feel exploited or out played cos you were gonna bet/fold the turn anyway. You raised not cos you were induced but because you were going after fat value.

    I don't think you have to worry about being induced/out played either. This is such a common micro stakes line to see a cheap river, as you know. I would raise like always against a fish, but consider calling vs a 24/16... ofc I'd still raise though like a robot monkey after contemplating.

    Looks fine, now fold.

    This is a spot where card removal comes in handy.
