I don't think so. His turn donkbet is either a bluff/semibluff or Kx, I doubt that he's taking a bet/fold line with a weak pair there. Wouldn't make much sense.

Also, it wouldn't be a freeshowdownraise, as you can't fold to a 3bet.

I would just call the turn and probably call the river as well. You beat flushdraws and random overcards to the flop that he's bluffdonking on this turn scarecard.

There is some merit to this play if you have a read on him that he checkcall-donks his weak pairs and is willing to fold them to a raise, but this is probably a bit too much to ask from a anybody.

And if he has a busted draw he's probably going to bluff the river again anyway, so you won't lose value.
