Hi,
Is raise on the flop correct, or should I just call?
Should I fold at any point? He can play this way with a top pair or a lower pp, but also with a set. On the turn, broadway is also possible...

Thanks!

a donk bet stat could be useful.

pf and flop are fine.

Turn:
So he donks again putting himself all in. his line is super strong.
You should start thinking what he is second donking with on the turn.TT and QQ are in his 3bet calling range. + This TAG is not going broke here that quickly with only a pair. This should be a fold.

Well, he usually is the preflop aggressor, so there are no reliable donk-bet stats. Also since his first preflop action was raise, HEM doesn't consider this flop bet to be a donk-bet, it counts it as a c-bet. However, of 4 3bet pots I saw him in, this was the only time he didn't play check/fold. So definitely a fold on the turn
Thanks Maya He did have TT

Hello,

Nah, it's totally fine to go broke there, don't raise on flop if you don't want to go broke, if you are so sure then just Call few streets and make the lay down on further streets. For example if you give him this range:

AQ,KK,KQ,QT,66,QQ,TT:

Equity Win Tie Loss Hand
Player 1: 56,520% 56,406% 0,228% 43,366% AA
Player 2: 43,480% 43,366% 0,228% 56,406% KK-QQ, TT, 66, AQs, KQs, QTs, AQo, KQo, QTo

As you can see we are having pretty good equity against him, so I don't really see why we should fold in this 3bet pot. Also sometimes we can give even further range for him when he is donking a lot on such flops (even in 3bet pot). Just note him down and try to catch his moves. Nice hand, well played.

Best regards,
Rensu
