It's Another Tequila Sunrise

By playing my hand in this unorthodox way I gain maximum value all those times my opponent bets a weak hand/bluff all the way that wouldve folded early to pressure. I also minimize my loss if my opponent happens to have the best hand.

I think calling the flop is not that bad an option sometimes against a donk bet, but I disagree that it minimizes your loss when your opponent is ahead, especially if that opponent is passive. Raising the flop allows us to check behind the turn or river when there is a really scary board. This is extremely valuable in many hands. For this reason, I don't understand how calling the flop minimizes our losses when we are behind.

The value we gain when our opponent is betting a weak draw is definitely the strongest part of your argument for calling a donk on the flop. I think the point about minimizing our loss when behind is quite weak.
