Hello there, people.

Hope you are enjoying the holiday grind :)

Anyways, got the following hand at the end of a 12h sesh at 25NL, quite unusual (at least for me). Please share how you would approach it if you will, I'm providing my take below.

CO (unknown) opens to 2.5bb, Hero 3b BU to 7.5bb with AxQs, CO flats. (16.4bb pot, 93 effective stacks)

F: A54ssx. CO donks 5.3bb, Hero calls (27bb pot, 87.7 eff)
T: 7x. CO bets 8bb, Hero raises to 27bb, Villian jams, Hero calls. Villian shows 63dd.

Typically, I would raise flop to about 17bb, however, as Villian's unknown also taking the generally soft field and the line taken into account, I assumed he was recreational and decided to give him a card, planning to raise most non-spade turns and stack off rivers.

Retrospectively, I see many problems with the way I played the hand while his donk makes SOME sense with his particular hand and 76 combos.

Anyways, would you mind sharing your opinion, I would highly appreciate it.

Thanks! :)
