Hero call brag!

opponent wasnt getting too much out of line.
made some stupid donkbets:
mindonkbet with air, half pot donkbet with draw
other than that he was pretty straight forward

15$ reg speed, blinds 30/60
my stack: 1985 (after posting)
villain's stack: 925 (after posting)
i was dealt 88 on the button

i minraise to 120
villain for the first time min3bet to 180, i call

flop (pot - 360): 2h5h10c

villain shoves for his last 805 chips

i take my time to think and the only hand that makes sense is AK.
i make my hero call and voila! villain shows AKs, i dodge A's & K's and win the match!

and that was my first brag Smile

yeah i know but villain was pretty easy to play post flop so i decided that 15 big blinds eff. stack is enough room to outplay him post flop + its a lower variance play

EDIT: it was also his first 3bet so i decided to just see a flop

if he was cbetting "standart" i was probably would have called one street and fold to further aggression. but thats only because i had a good read on villain tendencies

for example i know fur sure that if he had an overpair, set or A10 he would never shove in that spot. thats part of my reasoning for putting him on AK

im not trying to shoot you down. but is that a hero call ? to me it seems like a very easy call.

good job though. Smile
