Default Don\'t stack-a-donk the good players, guys

This just happened to me and I thought it bears mentioning that we call the line stack-a-donk for very good reason.

When a very good player has position on you, I think it's a terrible line to take, personally.

Villain was 13/13/infinite over 110 hands or so and I have no idea what he thought I would call with here. It's certainly possible I am float/stealing here but I never have AJ or some nonsense that might consider calling his push, because I check behind almost every made hand here, and only betting a steal or a very strong hand. I'd only call his push with KK+ or a 5, and KK+ is just obscenely unlikely for me here.

I was 19/15 and I assume he uses PT so he should know this.

Am I wrong? Does anyone here think Villain played this hand fine and was just cold-decked?
