    When you raise to 300 out of a 3K stack with AT what sort of flop were you looking for. This is a dream flop and the perfect situation to shove and double up for the win. Your opponent likely has a draw and is using his stack to bully you.

    Ship it!

    when he ships it it could well have been to protect against a draw he thought you had

    also you clearly had a weak hand when you call or a draw which he hopes you are willing to gamble on if he beats you with 2 pair or better kicker

    when i donk bet its to get the initial raiser to 3bet the flop when i have trips to disguise my strength

    i hate the flop call you made i would have raised for sure but actually with now more info just what ive seen from playing 1.2m hands i reckon you were behind more often than not -

    that said you hit top pair aces and if hes that aggro their he would have surley 3bet pre with AJ+ so its a tough hand

    i think you have to just play the stacks and get it in and then put it down to a cooler if you lose

    deeper stacked i would have 3bet flop and folded to agression

    weird hand in a vacuum - need more info on the opponent tbh
