I like the limp pre against the described opponent, usually 75o is best to have in your raising range because it's a little too junky, but especially if your opp doesn't play back much vs limps it's a good adjustment here vs his frequencies.I probably give up on the turn rather than triple barrel, but I think it's close.When we get to the river, sizing tells are super super important here, as well as whether your opponent is capable of bet/folding Qx. We need to know whether villain will make this smaller sizing with big hands occasionally. Obviously, that's somewhat of a tautology ("jamming is right if he'll fold", no duh), but if we're this far into the match that we have his frequencies pretty well down we should have a very clear sense of v-bet sizings and fold button.
I don't think the stack sizes are really set up well here to barrel. As played, there's 750 left with 1380 in the pot, and I think you did well to keep your flop bet nice and small. I think I'd probably bet bigger on turn to really make sure we fold out unpaired hands if we do decide to contest, AK is going to call too often with 360 I think. I'd go 400-425. You could also go small-smaller-jam, which also decreases your risk when he does something like he did here, and tells a very consistent 9x story.As for whether to contest in the first place, it's hard to guess. Anybody with half a brain is c-betting all their air here, so I expect a lot of ace highs, and it's just tough to figure out the % of the time AK is folding to two streets of aggression. I think it's pretty marginal but OK.

I suspect a check/raise to 100 is better than folding here, especially given the qualities of our hand. To be honest, I autopilot a ton and don't take advantage of these spots enough, but I think check/raising is best even readless.
I mean, "it depends" has to be the responsible answer here, usually raising with TP/draws that can get it in and calling with weaker pairs, with air it depends how much equity we have and board texture, etc.

Whats your default play against 1/2 pot sized donkbets on flops. With TP, 2nd pair, 3rd pair, air, draw ?
