3bet donk

Um, correct me if I'm wrong here but isn't this a 4bet pot? You have to ask yourself what a 4bet accomplishes preflop. What hands donk into you? Then ask yourself what does a raise accomplish on the flop. What better hands does it fold out, if any? What hands call/ship on you?

Oops 4 bet, you're right, I'm bad.

What do you mean what does a 4 bet accomplish preflop? It could take down the 3bet pot vs hands that I'm a coinflip against, I have AQ dominated though that one may not always call, and I could possibly fold AK as well. Yea I fold my AK to 3 bets from players w/ stats like 10/3 and 1% 3bet but this guy didn't have those stats. Plus I'm on the button, which gives him an even wider range to be 3 betting me with (upon second thought AQ is probably in his range). It also makes the hand pretty easy to play when flop comes A or K high. Was that question a level?

Hands that donk into me, for less than 1/3 pot = his whole range. He called a 4 bet, he doesn't have 53o. He's obviously got something with showdown value. (this is where I could be wrong, but i can't put him only on AQ or QQ because he donked)

Shove on flop given my line preflop represents AA very well. It could fold anything worse than AA, maybe even KK depending how weak/tight he is. His line doesn't look like aces, so unless he's got AQ or QQ, he may fold. Yes a raise wouldn't be for value. I'm just questioning if it's spew or not.

No, not a level. Just wondering what you're reasoning was.

If you're not sure villain will ever fold a better hand then it's definitely spew, and 5nl villains have problems folding for sure. I just don't think this is the best spot to turn your AK in to a bluff.

What are doing on the flop if he checks to you?
