Hi!

I'm wondering what is the best line here. The player made a donkbet here, so I assume that he might have Q pair... It is unlikely that he will have got a set. Should I make a call or raise here?

There is no need to raise since you have a pair and a flushdraw. He can have Qx for sure. I would just call and try to draw, or bluffcatch (in case he donks this flop with pure air). If I don't hit my flush on the river I just give up

This is a pretty standard call on the flop. Turn u can evaluate again.

I prefer calling flop and turn. No need to raise here.
And on river, acording to the board you can decide whether to fold or bluffcatch.

So you put him on a Q and wonder if you should raise?. If you were deeper and heads up (making his range a little weaker) you could at least think about raising and keeping firing turn and river if you believe he can get off TP. Not so here.

Thank you very much for your comments/advices. _thumbsup:

I raised here. But I was not sure if it was a good play. I understand now why it is better just make a call here.
