BTN: $2.49
SB: $2.45
BB: $2.00
UTG: $1.44
MP: $2.01
Hero (CO): $2.75

Pre Flop: ($0.03) Hero is CO with Q :club: Q :diamond:
2 folds, Hero raises to $0.05, 2 folds, BB calls $0.03

Flop: ($0.11) 2 :club: 9 :heart: T :heart: (2 players)
BB bets $0.11, Hero calls $0.11

Turn: ($0.33) 2 :diamond: (2 players)
BB bets $0.72, Hero folds

Should I re-raise the flop? From my experience, at these levels, big donk bets are always for value. How often does he bet that size with a flush draw?

What about the turn? Should I be taking this to showdown? If he had 9T OTF, he's now counterfeited, but it's not immediately apparent to him, so he could be betting for value anyway?

I think there is no need to raise flop. Just call.
On turn with the overbet, we should fold.

There's people in NL2 who I'm happy to shove the turn against. But we really need to have stats/reads to back it up to do anything else than fold.

Raising flop is just totally irrational. Would it be for value? Would it be as a bluff?

Your observation that he could be counterfeited is good though, but the bet is too big to call.

You played this fine. You can call otf but turn is a fold.

Well played, sir.
This overbet seems to be really strong, trying to build the pot. Good fold.
