Opponent is 35/8/semi-aggressive postflop. Hands: 40.
How played: I think it's bad, it was tilting call down.
Now a fold on the turn looks good as played, but why not to raise flop? Lots of combos in his l/c preflop, donk flop range: 56s, KdXd, QdXd, AdXd, T9s, 44, 77. Actually, I'm not sure how to play this hand. UTG donks in MW pot, mono board, I have no reads on him so far. Against a range that I gave him, it's a flip. Maybe I should just raise/go broke here?

Hello koosMaras,

Would also say that it's actually in those spots pretty much a flip if we are getting it in here. On such a board and according his limp/Call play it's way too strong for him to bet almost pot size on flop with very weak hand. It's even more likely that he has a hand here rather than not. Doubt that he even would bet with just FD here almost pot size.

For given those reasons I guess I'd decide right on flop what I am gonna do against the opponent. Either I am raising and most likely planning to go broke. Or either way if I am calling then I guess we have to consider folding it on turn since we don't get the implied odds for a Call for our FH if we rather put him on a made hand.

But obvious myself I guess I'd just raise it on flop and get it in:

Still should do pretty great against some wider made hand range. Might even sometimes add some worse hands into his range. Like even 47.

Best regards.
