Taking a passive line with a mid pp...
 

I think a passive line makes the most sense here. I would usually call one or two bets here, here I called down all 3 because of low board and the fact that villain called a preflop raise...do you guys think it's spew (esp river call)? Thanks again

Depends almost entirely on the opponent.

My preference is to raise the weak flop bet and see what happens.

I raise that donk bet pretty much always unless I have a read telling me not to.

Say you raise to 2 and he calls and the same turn card comes whats your move? Do you check behind on the turn or bet?

I'd raise the gaybet. Check-behind on that turn. Re-eval river. Lately I find the donk/call to be top type hands alot of the time. Sometimes lower pairs or draws. Mostly likely some type of pair that is NEVER folding and if he makes a value bet of some sort you are usually beat but I pay them off anyway.

I take cream's same exact line, except I only pay them off when Im tilting, which is half the time I play.

Raise the turn

raise flop bet turn then bet any blank river(no broadway).

VARUE TOWN VAVY

I take this line to much with medium PPs. I think river is a fold though, imo you don't get donked into for 3 streets without villain having at least a 9 here most of the time.

I probably raise flop or turn aswell as the betting is quite weak up to here.
