I guess you could find a fold there – although I don’t know I could have in the heat of the action.
In order for your AA to be good on the flop (cause if your behind – you’re way behind), you need that utg+1 player to have called a 3bet pre with 2 non-Ace hearts. And have the balls to 3bet huge over a donk lead (who has a set in his range). That would require a certain type of player – one that assesses the blind as making a speculative donk and you as having an overpair that he can get you off. If you don’t read this player as having that kind of imagination – then I suppose you could find a fold.
I think of my patience like this long strong elastic band…. it has more give and take than most of my opponents and can really stretch for long periods of bad cards and even bad rivers. But after a really long bad run… i can physically feel my patience at the utmost stretch. If I dont leave (at least go to dinner) – then really bad things often happen (like stupid bluffs, adventurous calls etc..).
I don’t hate the fold as played.
Kind of surprised to see 4/5 callers pre. Perhaps you need to up your open a bit (see Christian Soto on ‘pain threshold’).
As played, flop bet needs to be almost double (from 33% to 66% with being OOP and wet board), I think.
As played the turn donk lead looks very much like you are now beat. He’s donking into 4 players with a turn card that hits most of your opponents range. I’d only call of you are sure that a) you wont get 3-bet b) you can get paid off on a straight or c) there is a real chance he’s bluffing and will give up OTR.
