Hi guys! I'm not sure if I played this hand properly. PokerCopilot shows an equity of 57,1% but, to be honest, I'm not sure of what that means...

What would you have done?

Thanks in advance

Preflop check is ok. Not that much fold equity with this stack depth.

Any reads on villain? Basically you have two options in flop. Either check-shove or bet ~half pot and call if villain shove. Donk shove is bit bad, because that way we will kind of force villain to have a hand. Many draws tend to fold. We are after all shoving 2*pot, but we don't really want to force draws out of pot.

Some Ax might call, because donk shove looks bluffy. That is only good side of shoving. If villain has better made hand it's just setup.
