Villain is 27/20 with 87 hands.

PokerStars - €0.02 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BB: 157.5 BB
UTG: 118 BB
Hero (MP): 100 BB
CO: 97 BB
BTN: 100 BB
SB: 110 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has T♣ T♦

fold, Hero raises to 4 BB, fold, fold, SB calls 3.5 BB, fold

Flop: (9 BB, 2 players) 7♠ 6♦ 3♣
SB bets 6 BB, Hero calls 6 BB

Turn: (21 BB, 2 players) Q♣
SB bets 12 BB, fold

SB wins 19.5 BB

I cannot find the reason why I did not 3bet OTF at least 15BB but maybe the reason is that I was on tilt and I have sessions on downswings so I try to minimize my losses.

I would make it at least 3bb pre. On the flop I don’t really like a re-raise, we have some showdown value and we have to fold if villain 3-bets the flop, I would call flop like you did and probably call the turn because he bet slightly above half pot, the Queen might scare him if he has a single pair of 7 and might give up on river if you call turn.

From my experience when people Donk at Nl2 they usualy have a bad hand, like a draw or a low pair.

So i just checked first 20 hands in my database from Nl2 when somebody donks on to me.
( i have 88 hands but im lazy to check them all )

Results for 20 hands:

Donk with Medium pair - 6
Donk with Set or TP good kicker - 3
Donk with Draw - 3
Donk top pair bad kicker - 3
Donk with Air or Overcards - 5

I think donk betting ranges vary greatly on the player type of the person doing it, poor players might donk weak pairs but I think without readsand/or against decent players a donk should mean at least decent top pair and better or decent draws, leading out with a weak pair is speculative play when you get called it puts you in a miserable spot on most turns doesn’t it?would like someone else’s thoughts on donking
