It folds to me.
I sit and ponder.


Ok, I know what I did and how it turned out. What would you do?
As in most poker decisions, you can make a good argument here for foldiing, calling or going all in. although I don't like the all in play much, better to save the money if either an ace or king hits the flop.

Here is the dilemma, Mystery man knows the same information that you know (donk1 is a donkey), so the mystery man could have a lot of hands here like, any of the pocket pairs 88-JJ, or AK, probably not AQ based on your description of him. Donk1 could easily have any pocket pair from deuces on up or even a hand like AK, AQ, AJ, or maybe even A10suited, or if he is real donkey any two cards

Unless your read on the mystery man is perfect, I think calling is the best option, if an ace or king hits the board you can think about folding, but you may be pot committed. The reason I like to save the last $4 instead of going all in preflop is now you can bet the remaining $4 and maybe mystery man will fold.

purely a guess but I would put the donkey on a hand like 66 or 77, and the mystery man on tens or jacks, maybe AK.

I can't see folding QQ in low limit hold'em games.

just my two centavos
