By the way he played I thought he either made a flush on the flop or was drawing to it, and struck the river... The question is, does he have the Q/K or would he make this play with 9 and below?

3bet him preflop

3bet or fold preflop, depending on villain.

As played, call or shove, depending on villain again

I think 3 betting pf is slightly better considering its 4handed.. calling is okay though imo.
Prefer a bigger turn bet..
River its bet/fold or check/call or check/fold (less likely).. Depending on opponent.. so as played i'd fold..

this is 2NL, people are playing their cards. You donk bet into him holding Qsx, he called the donk bet because he is on level one and sees his cards. Calls the turn with top pair, and fires away at an As river. Something like that?

Im never folding AJo here in 2nl.

And to add, I don't think calling here pf is a giant mistake. At 2nl CO has a lot of trash that he's never folding a 3bet to. Usually they're terrible players post flop as well so it's just an easy cbet/take the pot a lot of the time.

I don't think we have much fold equity on the double barrell here, but I could easily be wrong.

By the river, its just a shitty spot. An overwhelming % of the time I'm assuming this player would have reraised you by the turn if he had a 2pr or better. I don't see how this could be a bluff after floating two streets of betting from you. I think this could honestly be a fold.

Disclaimer: If I ended up in this situation I would most likely end up saying, "there's no ****in way he has it" and then click call or push all in w/o thinking through it.

3 bet pre. It'll make it easier fort you to play on the flop. Also, why the donk bet on the flop? Of you don't want him to think youre on a draw you should check/ raise. On the river you're moist likely beat because there's no way he's doing this with 2-9cX maybe he'll do it with a 10 so if you call expect to lose a lot of the time
