How should I play the flop? I figured bet/fold at least give me an idea of the strength of my hand. If I check/call I have no idea if I'm ahead or way behind. Is check/fold ok here?

I don't hate the bet, because on this board a non aggressive opponent will have to give up part of his raising range. But somehow I think that a BB holding a King would be more likely to checkraise this oop and so to me betting out almost looks weak (if you see what I mean).

I prefer checkcall 1 street and fold to 2nd barel as I don't think villain 2nd barels if he doesn't have us beat, very often.

I don't think it's a crime to checkfold the flop here either. We call pf because it's cheap but we want to see a flop with a J on it or at least no overcards

I think I prefer c/c on this flop, even vs unknown opponent. (c/f if he bets again on turn). Your equity vs his cbet range should be really good.

Also I don't think donking on this flop makes the hand alot easier to play... you always have to give up when he calls and a donkbet just does not look strong on this board imo.

After looking at the hand again I agree that c/c looks like a much stronger hand than a donk bet.

C/C is my line on the flop.
