Pre is quite standaard imo. 4betting in this spot is asking for trouble imo (in 2NL zoom)
I donked OTF. I normally don't do that but to be fair, I mistakenly thought I was the aggressor. (Thats what happens if you have a customer on the phone too)

Question 1: What to do when he raises OTF? I believe my hand is too good to fold just yet. He could have a flushdraw or pocketpair and also because it's not too big a raise. Firing a 3bet will only get called by better so that doesnt seems an valid option.

Question 2 : OTT all my troubles disappear. Should I donk again? (while I'm at it..) I don't want him to check behind and I don't want to give him a free card to complete draws he might have.

Spoiler

Hero donk-shoves all-in (effectively a potsize bet).
Villain folds

It would be better to check/call flop for pot control, after hitting turn I would not donk all-in.

It’s also smart to use a hand converter like weaktight next time. Then is your hand better to read on our forum.

If I look to this hand I don’t know why you would bet on the flop against the pre-flop aggressor. Especially on a dry board I don’t think a bet makes too much sense and you give him the opportunity to make the pot even bigger with a raise and I don’t think you want that. Now he’s raising extreme small, but otherwise you should even fold on this flop.

I would just check/call and do the same with our FH on turn as well. No need to scare him off with a bet or check/raise now.
