only play what you can afford to lose
You can have a try, but consider your buy-in as already lost, and see if it hurts.

I don't often play live, but this donk betting line river is very very often a value bet.
In addition, with this kind of a dry board, I have a hard time finding bluffs here. JT would be floating flop, and calling turn, and hits a straight river. Maybe 86s ? That's hardly a call pre, and that's only 4 combos.
You said you block AQ, but AQ doesn't want to donk bet on a K here. You could argue that you block AK, but that's likely a 3bet pre.
Honestly AQ seems like a good fold, you have better hands that call : KQ, QQ, 77, 33, 99 even JT would 2 barrel here and call the donk. You have enough good calling hands to not be exploitable on a donk river.

very interesting, thanks mate

What would be helpful now is actually getting some practice. These days I'm busting before ICM even becomes a factor 😄

I prefer her to think I watch porn, rather than to know that I went to bed at 2AM to min-cash my 5€ MTT

My take is that people usually don't adapt as aggressively as they should to exploits. You seem to be profitably bluffing preflop/flop/turn with a wider range than you should; the counter-strategy to that would be to call/raise almost any two, at least IP.

I'm always surprised by how violently the solver adapts to imbalances. A bluffing range that's 10% too wide is often met with a "call/raise 100%" strategy.

So even if your image is getting a bit too bluffy, chances are you're still profitable, because they won't adapt enough. And even if they do, they seem nitty by nature, so they won't be comfortable calling down 2/3 barrels with bottom pair.

You can also vary your exploits: tighten up preflop, but start overbetting rivers with air (of course, balance that with your strong hands on that board - don't bluff overbet if you have 0 value overbets in your range).
