On the Flop I get a hand I know I have to go all-in with, the question is what is the better way of doing it. Villain donks the Flop and I think raising him would make it easier to put him all-in on a later street. He donks again on the Turn and I wonder if it would be better to call or raise. What I thought to take the later decision was that, that way, he wouldn't be able to fold on the River if a scare card like 4th ♦ came on the last street. Also, if he happened to have a better flush draw, well, I wouldn't want it to put it cheap for him.
The reason I thought about calling was that I didn't see any reason to protect at all, but ended up pushing because of the above thoughts.
But what are your opinions about the hand in general?
