re: Poker & $2 NLHE 6-max: top pair good kicker VS donk bet.
You obviously can never fold top pair second kicker to someone like this, when you opened from BTN, and he called from the blinds, which he probably do like 80% of the time.
To be honest I think, you could even raise the flop here. He is never folding an ace, and there are some draws, he could be donking as well, so why not let him pay the maximum. He did not even start with a full stack, so I am actually totally ok with playing for all the money here, which is otherwise not standard with just top pair in a single raised pot.
As played yeah I am definitly betting the river for value. Looks like he has a weak ace and got nervous, or he has a missed draw and is giving up. Maybe 10% of the time, he is trapping you, but you cant live in fear of those 10%.
