I 3bet more to isolate the loosish player and take initiative here. I'm not sure if calling would have been wiser.
I hate donks. I dunno, I really dunno how to handle them. Did he hit top pair, the flush, drawing to the flush, what? No idea. Villain seems pretty passive but is unknown so I'm not sure how to take it. I don't want to inflate the pot any by raising middle pair and I don't feel I can throw away this hand to a donk bet.
But any queen beats me, and any two hearts, any heart can draw, with his range he could also have something like KT which has a good draw.
I feel like I'm unlikely to improve and fold the turn. I guess folding the turn here is the right move, but how do I handle this flop?
