Why are we donking the flop?

I felt that villain would call with 66 - JJ. When I got raised, I just called down and hoped that villain was overvaluing TT or JJ.

However, I was wrong. Villain had 77 and turned sevens full of fives.

Yeah.

Do you have any reason to believe he wouldnt bet those hands if you check? How often do you see people limp/cap preflop and then check a flop like this?

The thing about donking is that compared to c/c or c/r it accomplishes absolutely nothing. In 99% of all spots where the PF raiser is c-betting his entire range it will be a mistake to donk.
