Wasn't quite sure what to think when villain donk bets at me on the flop I was thinking TT,
QK, maybe JJ? It felt like a value hand should I have folded on turn here? what do you think about the hand? I felt like I had to at least call the flop 1 time with TPTK.I mean I guess he can have QQ but would you expect those to 4-bet some of the time aswell? the river doesnt help any AJ,AK type hands, Im beating QK,QJ,JJ,any draws on the river and clubs have missed so only thing that beats me is AA,KK,QQ,TT,44, and QT? I hated this spot, I almost just folded on the turn.

His line is weird indeed. He could be on a flush draw, but in the end a reg should know bluffing on NL2 isn't a great move. In the end I would most likely call or you have reads he's only doing it with 2 pair or better on the river.

I would call as well with the missed flush draws,but i think i'm just going ahead and raising the flop on that board with tptk.Villain shouldn't really have QT or 44 so the big concern is TT and slow played KK+.If villain is donking a set or flatting KK+ and donking it's note worthy.But it's a spot were going broke if villain has a better hand there's not much we can do imo.Your blocking AA and QQ and you unblock the flush draws so that's all good for our hand here.It's also the reasons i like raising the flop if we had the Ad or Qd i think flatting the flop might be preferable.

I would also mix calls and raises OTF. Reds commentary is spot on imo.
As played this is a blind call all day. Any plausible draw OTF missed and you don't block them. Price is great too.
