Had no special read on opponent other than he played like a TAG - pretty predictable in his play. I figured I could be behind preflop.

I raised on the flop because I figured my JJ + flush draw could be ahead of AKo and I could improve against many QQ+ type of hands. Yay or nay?

When he donked, I just decided to call down. Right decision or not?

Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

Hi!

I like the way you played it. Flop is good and since he is TAGGish looking guy who capped preflop anyboard without A or K is good for any pair.JJ is quite high on that list so it deserves a raise and I like to make it on the flop thinking that he will too often check turn with AK,AQ.

When he donks turn its strange but I like to just calldown for that matter since not really that much worse hands would make sense to play this way and his call flop/donk turn line can easily represent a monster.
