I didn't want to raise OTF incase he was donking with nothing, but OTT since he checked I made a standard sizing and decides to ship

SB: $12.38 (247.6 bb)
BB: $9.38 (187.6 bb)
UTG+2: $4.91 (98.2 bb)
MP1: $7.74 (154.8 bb)
MP2: $6.29 (125.8 bb)
MP3: $5.40 (108 bb)
CO: $10.59 (211.8 bb)
Hero (BTN): $8.94 (178.8 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BTN with K♠: K♥:
UTG+2 raises to $0.13, 4 folds, Hero raises to $0.46, 2 folds, UTG+2 calls $0.33

Flop: ($0.99) 2♣: 8♠: 4♦: (2 players)
UTG+2 bets $0.40, Hero calls $0.40

Turn: ($1.79) 2♠: (2 players)
UTG+2 checks, Hero bets $1, UTG+2 raises to $4.05 and is all-in, Hero folds

Results:

Spoiler

$3.79 pot ($0.16 rake)
Final Board: 2♣: 8♠: 4♦: 2♠:
UTG+2 mucked and won $3.63 ($1.77 net)

Okay, I see this is FR game.

It's a tight fold for sure.

In 6Max games, no one folds KK on turn there.

It is a very confusing story by UTG+2. It's a mumbo jumbo line.

OTF UTG+2 is already assisting you in building the pot. Thank him right there and 3-bet it hard around 3x his raise. You have the Courageous Cowboys in a nice flop. The goal is to play for all the marbles on the river and by just calling you cannot achieve that.

My take on donk bet is they are using it as a block bet. They like to take the initiative for them to control the pot size.

OTT he check raise all-in on a board that is still very safe for our Courageous Cowboys.

The hands that we are losing to
AA and 84- very unlikely
22 -
88 -
44 -

The story I'm interpreting here is that OTF he have a marginal hand that wants to continue but not that strong to just call a big bet. OTT I'm dumb founded already. Why suddenly check raise all-in OTT? The only way he is doing this is if he have full house. If you have a set OTF then the way to play it is not donk bet. We are going to check raise the flop instead of donk betting. Donk bet OTF means a pair maybe top pair or mid pair.

You bet the turn because you want value. He is giving you full value by check raising all-in just take it. You have invested 37bb already. It is too late to give up now when we are not 100% satisfied that we are beat. That is why you are here. You are confused also with his story.
