The button donk is an 81/19/1. The question I have is what to do and what is your thinking for the river that would fill a very very poorly chased flush or straight.

poker stars, $0.25/$0.50 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 5 Players
Hand History Converter by Stoxpoker

BTN: $59.10 (118.2 bb)
SB: $66.35 (132.7 bb)
BB: $70.75 (141.5 bb)
Hero (MP): $50 (100 bb)
CO: $50 (100 bb)

Pre-Flop: Hero is MP with Q A
Hero raises to $2, CO folds, BTN calls $2, SB calls $1.75, BB folds

Flop: ($6.50) 3 T A (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $4.50, BTN calls $4.50, SB calls $4.50

Turn: ($20) 9 (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $14, BTN calls $14, SB folds

River: ($48) J (2 players)
Hero???

Pretty terrible river there. I believe I would check here hoping he either checks behind or puts out a very small river bet which I would call. If he jams or makes a decent sized bet I'm folding. I think remaining stack sizes are a little too awkward here to go for a blocking bet.​

You have $30 behind in a $48 pot. This guy is a full on retard. I shove this for value, cuz I love to be spewy like that. And bet more on the flop & turn, especially the turn. Once two people call your flop bet, you're not going to be able to pot control here (and why would you want to against this idiot?). Should be bet flop, shove turn really.

umm yea, after seeing this hand again, i agree that a larger turn bet is better. Something around $17 and I definitely shove this river for value as hes still looking you up super light on this board.

I'm just starting to analyze these ring hands, but besides just shoving TPGK against a fish, what types of hands are in his range here? Of course if he was coming along with a J10 or KQ, that would be terrible, but besides those and a FD, what kinds of hands are we beating? Weak aces?
