You played it just fine. If he has a set of tens, so be it. This is way more often an overplayed AQ/AJ in my experience.

Really?

I'm almost positive we're drawing to 3 outs or drawing dead here. This is A10, A8, 1010 or 88 way more then it is AQ or AJ.

How many times do people raise A8 AT or 88 UTG+1?

It's .50/1 LHE on Party... Enough said...

Into the mind of a donk...

Looks down at AT - "OMG!! An ace!!! Raise!!!"
Looks down at 88 - "OMG!! A pair!!! Raise!!!

My experience is that on these limits people tend to play these hands passivly...they overplay them when they actually hit.

Well that is true too, but I don't think you can ever discount what I said. This is where reads are important. Depends on whether he is an aggresive donk, or passive.

I've played with people who have capped every street with 22, and that was 3/6 live.
Verdimme
Ok, point taken. Reads are very important. There are more passive donks then aggressive on these limits though...imo :-)

If these donks are passive what are we doing leading out at the turn after the flop just got capped.

Very often.

I probably bet/call --> check/raise, and call down anything after that.

If you 3bet, im not sure i would lead the turn after having it capped behind me without a flush draw present.

well, Verdimme said they are passive until they hit.
Like AJ, A3.. not necessariliy AT, 88.

I'm not checking the turn with 2 left to act and the draw heavy ass board in a BIG pot.
