against this sort of opponent where you would hate folding to a 3 bet, is it better to just call down from the turn without raising?

[/ QUOTE ]

Only when he 3bets, which is rarely.

It's really not that rare. TT, 88, 66, A8, A6, AT and even T8/T6 may 3-bet here. All these are very possible holdings at this point. I agree with the top quote here, if we're going to raise this turn we have to go to showdown. Otherwise, I think we should just call it down. Putting ourselves in a position to fold TP2K here is no good.

All of those hands are possibilities based on the action, so I'm going to renege on this one and say you're right.
I am just a little annoyed at this recent trend to call down everything just because "getting 3bet sucks". It is one factor to consider but it's not everything. You also have to consider how often you have the best hand and how often they would bet the river with worse hands. This hand isn't really your typical 'donk' because villian took initiative on the flop and is more likely than usual to lead the turn with a monster hand as opposed to C/R. A lot of players would just C/C down from the turn with KT or whatever.
