Blinds are 50/100, I have AKo and raise to 350 late position, everyone folds but BB. I have about 4.7K he has just over 5K. His clearly new to playing poker in a live environment, dealing errors, chip handling errors, constantly looking at ppl like wtf do i do now when dealing. Not a complete fish though, must"ve played quite a bit online.
Anyway flop comes.... JT8 2tone and he donks 400...
...........?

I can"t see the conundrum. Apart from AQ, it"s difficult to name a hand that he might have called with that you"re not losing to.

There may be occasions, against a tricky player, that I would decide not to fold for a particular reason. For example, we may suspect that he is leading in the expectation that we have missed the flop. Against a straightforward new player, however, we"ve got to assume that he is almost certainly ahead or, at a minimum, his draws are better than ours and our hand is better folded sooner rather than later.

With decent stacks i"ve recently started what hellmuth advocates.
You could try raisng to see where you are. essentially it is a bluff but also gives you good informtion. if he has a small under pair to the board then he could fold. If he calls or raises your beat and time to get out. But this only really works in the right situation.
Personly I think your behind to either 2 pair or AJ or similar but if you min raised to 800 or 1000 you might win the hand outright. It it doesn"t you still have 40BB
