Opponent seems a bit looser than average and is probably a bad player, he has $55. Table is 4-handed at the moment.

UTG folds and I am on the button with AKo. I raise to $3.50, BB calls.

Flop comes 567 rainbow.

Opponent donk-bets $1into the $7.50 pot. I raise to $7 (I will do this 97% of the time no matter what hand I have, the remaining time I will be slowplaying T8). He calls.

Turn is another 5 and he now leads for $5 (he has ~40 left)


This is a semi-common situation for me, I am sure I would show a profit raising the flop bet blind, but what to do when you're called and he leads for such an uncomfortable amount on the turn? If it is a smaller bet I could call or raise again, if it was a bit bigger I could easily fold. Now if I had been stealing with something like J9s I would just ditch it on the turn and if I had an overpair I would stay in... but what to do with AK here?

I would just call here and consider calling a small river bet, after all he can have somehting like J8, J4 for a staright draw and you are actually ahead.

Against bad players it doesn't worth a raise, they can call a push with 22 putting you on AK.
