I usually raise such donkbets for 1 or 2 BB - even with OCs. I have the feeling that I see enough folds (is this a leak?).

Villains runs at 54/5/3.5 for a few orbits.

Would it be better to fold to this min-reraise?

With less than 50BBs effective stacks this is fine. His donkbet and min-raise is suspicious, but his range is a LOT bigger than just Tx. He could easily be doing this with a flush-draw, a four or 55-99. Well played.

And it's not a leak to raise donkbets like that. They usually indicate weakness. But this is of course villain dependent, so just make sure you make a not when you see what hands villain will make these kind of bets with.

That's fine. Raising donkbets is a fine play IMO.

Your play is fine. Villain is short, you have an overpair on a paired board; get it in.
