it's not. Depending on your position, raising pf w ATs might be marginal.

If he let you crack an overpair, that's a result of passive, fish-like play. If he had 92, he's the donk. Either way you should ignore him.

dude
youre playing a five cent/ten cent blind game, dont take his comment too seriously

then again, maybe he's such a shark that he cleaned everyone out on all the higher limit tables and there was only the nickel and dime table left, and he was just trying to 'help' improve your play. Sometimes when I'm grinding it out I like to give my opponents advice they can use against me and take my money.

I would say that you played that perfectly, he shoulda sprung you on the turn if he had you. He bought his own fate.

The only donk move you made was showing your hand.

As much as I love when people show me their hands - DONT ever show your hand , unless it serve a purpose.

Raising ATs from EP on low level games is not that bad , most player threat this hands as the nuts!

No this was not a donk play. The 5xBB raise pre-flop was good. If this guy had the over pair he should have nailed you on the flop or turn instead of letting it drag on and letting you draw out on him. Good hand and good play on your part.

He was called on the river. He HAD to show his hand.

check the hand history dude...you may be able to see wut he mucked...if you were playing at party, i'm certain it will tell you wut he mucked, since it went to showdown

but yeah, he's a dueche...he was slowplaying if he had you beat before you hit yer trips...he should expect to be burned sometimes when doing that...doesnt mean yer a donk

raising and getting lucky against a slow playing donk who probably should have been driving the whole hand is nothing to worry about. deserved what he got.
