facing donk bet on turn

[swinebag22]

The tourney is the 888 superstack in sheffield. Even though the tables are 9 handed, we are playing with 5 dead stacks/sitouts.

In this hand I am on the button, the blinds are sat out and villain is sat next to me on my right. We have played a few hands together already and he has pretty much owned me so far, despite me having position on him.

Blinds are 50/100. My stack is 18K (from 20K start) and villain has about 25K (he has been mopping up all the dead chips despite my best efforts)

Pre flop action goes fold, fold, villain makes it 275. I look down at A3o and make it 675. Villain calls. Flop comes 369 (2 hearts - I have no h) (pot 1500)

flop action: check, I bet 800, villain cr to 2100, I 3bet to 4K, called. turn is As giving me 2 pair (pot 9500) reason for 3 bet was because villain had already cr a lot of flops. once vs me in similar positions and a couple of other times v another guy.

turn action: villain donks 6500, me


You can comment on pre and flop action if you want, but please be kind, I have never played 4 handed this deep before

What do you do ott, why and plans for later action if applicable?

Thanks in advance

Alright were in position, but by 3betting you're basically going to end up playing an inflated pot with relatively garbage holdings.  Given that half the table is missing, I don't mind just calling IP given that there's hardly anyone behind?  If the guy is playing overly aggressive because of the scenario, then I would just try and get to showdown cheaply a few times and find out dafuq is going on (and with what holdings).  As played, were now at the turn, potentially playing for stacks and have absolutely no idea what's going on (and needlessly IMO).

My general play here is do some calls (pre flop too) and find out whats going on, then maybe starting doing some funk when I got dem reads.

Dont like pre... just 3bting for fun with a hand that has little-no equity when called, cant barell enough and cant make nuts very often is not the way to combat him.

Flop is a bit meh... - what are you trying to rep? (Just overpairs?) Seems to me you should be only calling vs his range on this flop... even with Ah As type hands.

Turn - to me... trying to 'look through his eyes' it looks like we have an overpair... an A is now making AA less likely and could be used to get us off our purr, if we had one.  We now only lose to 66/ 99/ 1x 33 and 1x AA which to me, given the Op.... just means this guy has air.... A LOT!!!!! (Just combination wise....)

I would probably try to take a little while, look a little shifth and place the call in...

Then be prepared to snap him off on most rivers... probably raise the ones we improve on.
