Limping in preflop bc I did not want to play big pot with AT in case I miss, I have seen fishes never fold and even try stealing pots on the turn. Flop was min bet so did not see point in folding but I cant raise here right? Ace pair on turn looked good against 2 fishes so I raised but paired board on river I did not want to value bet as I had showdown value and did not want off my hand.

Preflop: you didn't limp, you called a raise. Not the same thing.

Anyway, preflop is good. You could potentially 3-bet squeeze here since you're miles ahead of SB's range, and probably even with MP+1 (but could benefit from the fold equity).

Flop: SB donking means he hit the board in some way. Could be anything really, and for 1 BB you can't really fold overcards with backdoor nut flush and straight draws.

Turn: do you have any stats on SB's aggression? If he's aggro, then your raise is good (and very punishing if you put him on the flush draw). If he's rather passive, then I'd rather call down.

River: this card didn't change anything. In fact, the flush draw missed, so I think you missed a value-bet here. 20BB or so.

Yes sorry I meant "called and not 3bet" as I might have fold equity but these 2 particularly never fold and I would be stuck in a in between position with ATo. SB has overall aggression of 3 and street wise (3/2/5). I agree on the river though, I guess it was a scared check given I was not running very hot in this session.

Thanks, great analysis and feedback. +1

Do not 3-bet pre. MP +1 has a PFR of 13%, but since he's in a relatively early position, his range for raising here is probably something like 9-10%. You also want to keep the fishy SB in and play a pot in position vs him.

Flop: Okay to call here for 1bb with two overs + backdoor NFD and some BDSDs.

Turn: I think your raise was a little too big, but it is fine.

River: Yes, check back this river. His range OTR is missed draws, weak aces, and some strangely played nines. There's not much value in betting here because not a lot of worse calls, especially when you show strength OTT. A weak ace is probably folding here unless you two have some sort of history.

+1 Thanks for the feedback! Appreciate it. And yes on the river I had intended to make it 3x but it ended up higher than that.
