Default NL10 A7o blind steal, decent flop

Both full stacks, very little known about villain, but in 10 hands or so he's doubled up with absolute crap, so 73o is definitely not impossible here.

I called the flop thinking I was well ahead, and aiming to bet strong on the turn after he checked/min bet. Only he shoved!!! The King eliminates the kicker problem, so only really in trouble if he has the 3 or AA/AK/KK.

Thing is I can't fold to a huge overbet by a donkey, with a marginal hand like this. I'm pretty sure this is a weakness of mine.

Hmm.... the K is either a great card for us or terrible news (if he has a 3).

I think this hand is one of those decisions that is feel based and only you can make. Problem with calling the massive overbet is that he doesn't have to have the 3 very often for it to be a bad call.

I never know what to make of overbets like that. One train of thought is "a made hand wouldn't try to force people out" but then the other is donks just think "OMG THE NUTS ALL IN ITZ WAT THEY DO ON TV LOLOL"
